@ZacGoodman_ Most overkill "conditioning" thinking that's what makes them better.

*Strength is critical for performance...yes. But strength and physical size is critical for injury prevention and defense against high impact hits. The take away is to get stronger and build your "relative strength". We do this off ice. Train, eat and rest

*Summer amateur/youth hockey players. Critical to get stronger and bigger in the off season.

According to the International Society of Sports Nutrition @IntSocietySN creatine monohydrate is the most effective ergogenic nutritional supplement available for increasing high-intensity exercise capacity and lean body mass.

Creatine is extensively studied and deemed overwhelmingly SAFE for healthy individuals across all age groups, including adolescents and older adults.

This was just on the local news. This is really cool! And special! Tomorrow morning the Flag City Honor flight will be flying veterans out of the N.W Ohio area to Washington to view the war memorials. The wall and Arlington cemetery etc... all totally free of charge!

Low Rep Strength Training is specific to Athletes.

Here’s why…

1. Develops tendon/ligament stiffness

2. Teaches CNS to fire at optimal frequencies

3. Less damage, faster recovery.

4. Develops coordination faster

5. Easily measurable

Low Reps are KING💪🏻

@MonroeBlade @ToledoWalleye Absolutely fantastic! What a talent!

[Mark Monroe @MonroeBlade]

Super cool moment today at Comerica Park. St. Ursula junior Abby Karakas sang “God Bless America.” Phenomenal performance as usual. Abby has been performing the National Anthem at @ToledoWalleye games since she was 9. She’s become known as “Toledo’s secret weapon.” 👏

Summer/off season training has begun. Schools are out. It's GO TIME! Time to maximize profit. Don't have to worry too much about their CNS like in season. We must show up at the start of the next season better! Both physically and mentally! #DIGIN! #EAO!

My wife Sandy and our daughters attended a baby shower today. A close friend of our family growing up. They took the "little man"! Our grandson Luca Jay. He just turned seven months old. He is the funniest little dude! He is always so happy!He makes everyone smile and even laugh!

We don’t plan Deloads for our athletes.

We train as fresh as we are. If they are beat up, we simply pivot during the training day.

Time off is built into their schedule already… no need to plan off time every 3-4 weeks. Strike when the iron is hot, pivot when needed.

@MonroeBlade @georgemalik He is a Hero! Love it!

[Mark Monroe @MonroeBlade]

@georgemalik My father, Larry Monroe, was among the infantrymen in the later waves of the invasion on Omaha Beach. He was a machine gunner with the Big Red One (1st Infantry Division). Truly, my hero. The Greatest Generation, without question.

Want to get faster?

Stop depleting your legs with gassers every day.

Simply having fresh legs will add noticeable speed to your performance.

[Zac Goodman @ZacGoodman_]

Strength Training should never take away from you Sport.

Strength Training should only aid in increasing sports performance.

For that reason, we use very low volumes year round.

*Message from the highly regarded strength coach Mike Boyle.

[Zac Goodman @ZacGoodman_]

Summer Time is the best Training Period for most High School Athletes, in which you can make the most meaningful progress in the shortest amount of time.

1. Optimal Sleep

2. Low Stress

3. Good Weather

Don’t underestimate how much progress can be made in a few months🙌🏻

[Zac Goodman @ZacGoodman_]

Before big games, many coaches have the instinct to practice longer and harder.

This degrades Force output and skill coordination greatly hindering performance.

The bigger advantage is to do less.

[Zac Goodman @ZacGoodman_]

Conjugate Training allows you to address various necessary abilities: Strength, Speed, Power, Range, and Size simultaneously…

Without the need for taking breaks away from training.

You just get a steady dose of everything you need year round. Can’t beat it for Athletes🙌🏻
