By Wayne Burke -February 9, 2016- Single leg strength training might be the most valuable group of exercises that every player could do. This group of exercises challenges your adductors (groin), abductors (hips, glutes) and stability in a way that squats and deadlifts can’t. It also addresses strength imbalances by training the left and right […]…
by Sean Holmes -February 4th, 2016- The Anti-Rotation press is a great exercise we use to develop core stability with our lacrosse players. The primary function of the core is to be stable, and as such we must train it to resist flexion, rotation, and extension. If you need more info on the core check […]…
By Wayne Burke -February 2nd 2016- I had a session with a client yesterday and after a set of chin ups she asked “how strong should I be?” (I think what she was really asking me was how many chin ups should I be able to do?) This question led us to a great […]…

By Wayne Burke -December 29th, 2015- I love the holiday season. Lax players everywhere are posting on social media all their new heads, mesh kits and other gear they got for Christmas talking about how sick their stick is or how they can’t wait to get back playing. The new year means there is only […]…
By Sean Holmes -December 16th, 2015- Over the weekend I was in charge of performance testing for the Toronto Rock.
