Love it. Just a question. Looking at this video I’m assuming it’s better for hockey players to combine things like strength, hypertrophy, and conditioning into one program instead of focusing on just one at a time? Especially if athlete is already “fit”?
Thank you, Nik. Correct, one program with different training phases prioritizing different physical qualities. I talk about programming for strength and muscle gains in detail in Chapter 8 in Strength Training for Ice Hockey: hockeystrengthbook.com/
Hello Yunus, thanks for this workout, I have a question concerning the superset. In the gym I go to, it's kinda impossible to have a superset between bench press and chin ups because benches are in a different room that chin ups bars + too many people so you can"t leave your bench and find it available once you're back from the chin ups. What are the pros of a superset? In a case where we can't do a superset would you recommand chin ups first or bench press first? Thanks a lot best regards.
Glad you liked it! The advantage of antagonist supersets (such as bench press + chin-up) is that you can complete the same amount of volume in about half the time compared to doing them separately, because you can keep the rest periods shorter. There's a detailed discussion on different ways to superset exercises, and the pros and cons of each, in Chapter 8 in my book. You can check it out at: hockeystrengthbook.com/. When doing these two exercises separately, exercise order doesn't matter much because they train different muscles. So if you bench pressed first, it wouldn't negatively impact subsequent chin-up performance - and vice versa. Pick the one that is most important to you and start with that. Instead of resting 2 minutes between sets, take 4-minute breaks.
@@NextLevelAthletics Great ! Thanks a lot for your answer! I am really interested about your program but I have a question : At the gym I go to, there are not a lot of weights AT ALL (100 kilos max for bench press and squat, 200 kilos for leg press, and the heaviest dumbells are 22 kilos). I know your program is all about " you need to push pull and press heavy with low reps " but I'd also like to know if your program also offers an alternative for guys who can't have access to heavy weights. Thanks a lot, best regards
Nobody gets strong from squatting 100 kilos or dumbbell pressing/lunging with a pair of 22s. It would be like asking, "How can I become a race car driver when my car's limit is 80 km/h?" There is no alternative to lacking equipment. Go to a better gym with heavy weights if you want real gains.
