Hey guys, Jeff Lovecchio here. Owner of RIPT
hockey training.
And I'm Derek with Total Hockey.
We're in the gym today, showing you exercises
to bullet proof your groin and hips.
Do I need a cup for this? Probably.
Okay.
"Pallardy moving in, shoots, scores!"
"Lovecchio scores another one!"
For the groin sliders, we're gonna grab these
SKLZ slides which are available at Total Hockey.
Derek's gonna stand one foot on the ground,
one foot on the slider. All the weight's gonna
be in the base leg heel. The foot on the slider
is gonna come back in a straight leg fashion.
From here, your chest is up your abs are tight.
We're gonna pull in with a straight leg, using
only the inside of your leg. The groin, your
adductor.
Just like this. Perfect. Exactly how you want
it to be done.
I'd say maybe eight each leg.
Look at that form.
Moving on to the next exercise, we'll be doing
lateral monster walks.
SKLZ provides these bands at Total Hockey
with three different resistances. We'll go
with, remind me how many years you been retired
Derek?
Three.
We'll go with the easiest ones.
The trainee is gonna place these around the
ankle, over the shoes. The position I want
you to be in is an athletic stance.
Chest up, butt down. Now, you're gonna step
out about six inches, keeping your butt down
and chest up. Come in slowly. What I would
like you to notice is the trail leg. How he
picks it up and squeezes his abductor. That's
how we want it to be done. Working all these
muscles. Not just stepping in and out like
you see some people doing in the gym. That
ain't right. Get the work in, so you get better
on the ice.
Set me up with the heavies next time. I don't
think so.
The last exercise we're gonna be doing is
a simple hip lift. We're gonna work the hip
flexor.
I'd like to see you beginner trainees doing
this against a wall so you can't cheat with
your lower back. All we're gonna do is you're
gonna flex your base leg. With the other leg,
you're gonna lift up only in your hip flexor.
And come down slowly. Working that eccentric,
that negative phase.
The biggest thing you want to make sure while
you're doing this. You don't want that lower
back going in to hyper extension. We wanna
only be working the hip flexor muscles here.
So, I can't help you guys with a wall, because
Total Hockey doesn't sell walls. But, if you're
looking for the slides or the bands I had
Derek using, click right up here.

We're back on the ice here with Jeff, to show
you some drills to work on your groin and
hip mobility.
Ahhhh
Take it easy.
