Daily Training Tip #460

One of the biggest areas of neglect for the tatical athlete is the posterior chain which consists of your hamstrings, gluteals and lower back. These muscles play big role in your skating stride. Outside of the skating stride, these three (3) muscle groups can lead to chronic pain after your playing career is completed.


The Stiffleg Deadlift (Romanian Deadlift), Gluteal Ham Raises and Med Ball Hamstring Curls (Ball/Hip) are three lifts that help strengthen your posterior chain. You should be completing at least one of these on a regular basis.
