Hey guys, Jeff Lovecchio here owner of RIPT
hockey training.
And I'm Derek with Total Hockey.
Today we're in the gym with a couple of forearm
exercises to make those snappers go bar meow.
First exercise up, we're gonna grab the stress
balls.
I don't think Total Hockey sells these yet
but I'm pretty sure you can get them free
at any local bank.
All we're going to do.
Very simple, work on those hand strength.
You're going to squeeze as hard as you can,
hold for three to five seconds then release.
Right away, again, hold for three to five
seconds, release.
Depends on the level of the stress ball.
I like to go for time under tension as many
reps as I can.
If it burns try and bang a couple more out.
One thousand one, one thousand two!
Let's drop those.
We're going to go to band hands.
Really, just a funny name we're actually just
going to be working the opposite of the squeeze.
Now we're going to be working the extensors.
You're going to place the band - I do- around
all five fingers dace your hand to yourself.
You're going to release your fingers, squeeze
out as hard as you can and come back in.
You want to make sure you place the bands
towards the top of your fingers.
If you got baby hands...
It might be a little tough but just work with
it.
You want to push out hold for three to five,
come back in short rest right away again.
If you did fifty with the ball I think maybe
thirty.
I think Derek said he did 999 probably half
that about, uh, I don't know 500?
Perfect.
Next up we're going to move to the SKLZ bands
forearm snapshot.
If you have a partner he can hold it.
If not, what I do personally when I'm alone
in the gym, I just wrap the band around one
of the poles...
That support the ceiling.
I bring in the band from here, just like a
snapshot we're going to go with one hand,
tuck the elbow in the middle of the chest
with your free hand you're going to grab the
outside of your wrist.
It's going to look just like a snapshot.
You're going to come forward in a quick motion,
pause, really work those flexors.
Come back, nice and slow.
Forward, pause- work the flexors, come back
slow.
I like to imagine going low blocker.
BING and back.
CHEDDAR and back.
Sometimes I just mess up and it goes in anyways.
Obviously you want to work both hands.
You want to be able to go forehand, backhand.
I'd say depending on the length of the band
and how tight it is anywhere from ten to thirty
reps.
A few tips here, I really want you to focus
on the isometric squeeze so that is when you're
holding that ball.
Those balls, stress balls.
Squeezing, holding.
Same thing with the bands- come out, squeeze
and hold.
Same thing with your shooting with the bands-
squeeze and hold.
Time under tension for those forearms.
I know for a fact you can get these SKLZ bands
at Total Hockey.
To find stress balls...
I don't know.
Go to a bank, college orientation, new shop,
cell phone store- probably get one of those
for free.
Rubber bands, think I went into my Grandma's
house, went into her old school desk top drawer,
moved the blue Bic pens and I found, like,
three rubber bands there.
They were free.
Everything else, total Hockey sells right
up there.
