I already hit each group 2x a week , now I have hockey 2-3 times a week and it's fucking killer

Then hit everything 3 x and get it out of yr head that it's leg day and instead of doing 15 sets of legs do 5

i do squats b4 ball hockey.

rugby lol

I ended up doing squats the day before last night games and my legs were completely burnt out.

are you a lifter who plays sports? or are you an athlete who lifts?

depending on how you answer, the training should be a good bit different

Well... good question.

I'd prefer my sports performance to be better than my lifting. I want my lifting to supplement my sport andhelp me improve.

alright, so that is how i was as well..when you do any sort of training off the field/court/whatever, you should train with sport specificity in mind

i don't know hockey, so i am useless there..but, whatever you are doing in the weight room should be able to translate in to some sort of specific advantage for your sport, and if you don't know what you are getting from the exercise, then you probably don't need to be doing it haha

i also don't think maintenance is that difficult once you have establish the baseline strength/power..if your lifts go down like 5-15% over the course of your season, but the training and maintenance translates to your sport, it would be well done (in the grand scheme, 5-15% sounds like a lot, but isn't)

Well hockey is pretty damn leg dependent sport. I see pros doing squats in the off season but you never really see what exercise , if any , they do during the season other than practice and games that is.

Well, it's hard to say without talking to them. It is possible that they do very little weight training during the season. I don't know how much you train on the off season (for track we would be in the gym 4-5 days a week). But, over the duration of the season it went to 3 days a week, then down to 2. We still did a number exercises, but changed them up a bit. Depending on where we were in the season, we would mix in the following depending on the goal (obviously wanted to peak at the end):

-decreased volume, increased resistance (strength maintenance)
-increased volume, decreased resistance (equal work, but less taxing on the CNS)
-decreased volume, decreased resistance, increased speed/intensity (more power focused, but since volume is down it doesn't kill the CNS)..that could also include more plyometrics

for throwing, the only components necessary were power/technique (obviously, strength and speed training helped with the power aspect), so never had to worry about the endurance end of it as a throw lasts less than 6 seconds..so, i don't know how that incorporates for your situation
