How to win a copy of the Rapid Response Goalie Training System
Sorry for the second post this week and it is only MONDAY! – but I wanted to tell you about a way that you can get a FREE copy of the Rapid Response Goalie Training system. This is the first of two contests that I am running this month, so if you don’t qualify for this one, don’t worry, you will qualify for the next one! Read on to learn more about it.
Read this Top 10 List if you want to marry a Brazilian model.
Bet that subject line got your attention! It was not just a ploy to make you open this either – it was the actual subject of a blog that I follow regularly. I did not read this post because since the blog is written by Tim Ferris, I assumed he was interested in marrying a female Brazilian model. I happen to like boys, so this does not seem like pertinent info for me. Then I thought, well maybe he has lessons for marrying female and/or male Brazilian models, but I don’t really go for guys in speedos so that puts it on the back burner too. Add to that the fact that I am already married to a guy who is a way better catch than any Brazilian underwear model and I had to shut this one down. But it may still interest some of you, so here is my top 10 list of blogs that you may wish to check out:
This is better for your abs than crunches.
As promised, today I am sharing with you the exercise that gets 5-10 times more rectus abdominus (six pack muscles) activation with less stress on your spine when compared to the old school crunch. It is tough – click below to see the video:
How many hockey players are making this core training mistake.
Paul & I were lucky enough to be in Toronto over the weekend – unfortunately the Leafs were in Montreal (losing again) so we did not get to see a hockey game. I attended a great course on spinal stability with Dr. Stuart McGill. I know most of you are thinking that sounds about a stimulating as watching paint dry, but for a geek like me – that is the sort of thing that gives me goosebumps!
I learned a ton over the weekend and I hope I don’t bore you by bombarding you with facts about core training over the next little while. Check out the video (by following the ‘Read More’ link) to learn about an exercise that lots of hockey players (and trainers) still use thinking they are building core strength (or a six pack) which only actually gives about 10-20% activation of the rectus abdominus and puts some extra wear and tear on the lower back.

Save $30 and why hockey players should do chin ups.
I had a question posted over at the blog in response to my post last week on “How Hockey Players Can Dominate Chin-ups”. He asked how chin-ups could help a hockey player. Good question – I posted a little video to explain my thought process – you can check it out by following the link below.
Also, remember that the Rapid Response Goalie Training system goes on sale Tuesday, November 16th and I am giving you $30 off the base price, so for a limited time you can get it for only $67 before the price goes up to $97. As soon as it goes on sale Tuesday morning (and it will be early because I start training clients at 6am ET) I will post the link over at www.hockeytrainingpro.com
How hockey players can dominate chin-ups.
For some of us, chin ups are a total frustration. We are left there swinging from the bar, pulling with all our might, huffing and puffing, but going no where. Today I want to share with you a few strategies that I have used in the past to double the number of chin ups that I can do. Check out the video and try some of the techniques.
My new baby!
Tell me, do you think a dryland goalie training program that you can complete twice per week with no workout lasting longer than 40-minutes could help you be the goalie you want to be? Could it help you move toward the goalie you want to be? Would it be better than what you are doing now – nothing? Would it be better than what you are doing now – going to the gym and working out on machines?
The 3 pieces of equipment any hockey player needs to train at home.
I had a good email question last week from one of you who was wondering what equipment he would need to do workouts at home to help with his hockey – he was a right wing. I like getting this question because it does not take much to set up your own home gym and all for the cost of about 3 months membership at the local gym. So here was my reply to him with the three essential pieces of equipment for a home gym.
