Gym Routine To Help Me Become An Even Stronger Skater

Thread Starter 
I'm pretty strong on my skates, but would like to become as close to impossible to knock off the puck as I can. What do you guys recommend...I assume focusing on core activities, but does anyone know anything specifically that I can do? Thanks.

Squats and whatever your preferred core activities are.

The solution is to hit first: It's a shame Oshie isn't have a great year for my hometown team. Eating whatever Ryan Miller ate Sunday morning can't hurt either .

Hi,

Have you read stuff by Mike Boyle? He has worked with lots of hockey players and his book "Functional Training for Sports" has a training routine for hockey players.

I think you play more than me NYR, but my experience is that if you can't get knocked over and can skate well, then your lower body isn't bad. I usually find that it's the one handed stuff that puts me off the puck, but I'm 6'0 and 150+ish. I only have a wrist shot and can get out of the way of hits...a very different angle compared to you .

I'd start with a 5x5 program (madcow, starting strength) which has an emphasis on legs and midline stablization.
