So, you want to be able to do this?
These are a couple of basic positions every goalie should be able get into. Especially if you want to play high level juniors, college and pro.
"But, there are more important things than flexibility and I can't do that because..." You think you got FAI or other restrictions but you stretch only 10-30min / week? Great news! You just haven’t worked for it or don’t know what to do, so most likely you can do what I do.
For me MRI shows hip impingement but it hasn't stopped me exploring what is my maximum. It should be obvious that what you do should not hurt but if you don't work on your flexibility on daily basis or several days in a week you will remain stiff.
If you are one of those people who isn't making excuses and want to get better join The Splits Club and I will show you how normal people can achieve extreme flexibility.
No splits = no pro hockey? Really?! I say that for two reasons:
1. Most of the goalies can do splits pads on because of the knee stack elevation.
2. Flexibility is one of those things you have to do on your own when nobody is looking. It takes dedication and determination to work on your flexibility on daily basis. If you are not motivated enough, you'll always find something "more important" to do and all kind of excuses why you can't stretch 5-10min after practices and do 1-2 longer stretching sessions per week.
Don't want to buy The Splits Club access yet but want to start the improvement on your on, here is what you need to do:
- Before training do dynamic warm up and dynamic stretching
- After training do cool down cardio and static stretching
- 1-2x / week do longer stretching sessions and foam rolling - Lift full range and do specific end range strength work - Deep tissue massage by real pro can unlock extra 5-15% if you do all the above already.
