-January 19th, 2012- Last year I attended the US Lacrosse Convention for the first time and had a great time. I got to experience something that just doesn’t exist in Canada. It was amazing to see how many people traveled from all over the country to attend. It was literally all lacrosse, all the time. […]…
-January 11th, 2012- Years ago I wouldn’t have bothered wasting my time discussing Yoga on a site geared for lacrosse players. They simply didn’t try it because it was feminine, for women only. Now however more and more players have picked up attending a Yoga class as a means to improve their flexibility and help […]…
-January 6th, 2012- This post is very fitting in that it is Friday! Every guy knows that Friday is chest and arms day at the gym (atleast I think that’s the rule since the squat racks are always empty!). Anyways, today’s pairing of exercises to include in your Complex Training program (that was featured on […]…
-January 4th, 2012- The answer is Complex Training. Complex Training is a superset where you perform a high-intensity strength exercise and follow it with a similar plyometric exercise. As Complex Training is very demanding on the Central Nervous System it should only be used for the final training block immediately before the season starts. As […]…

Complex Training is a superset where you perform a high-intensity strength exercise and follow it with a similar plyometric exercise. Today’s pairing is another lower body grouping […]…
-December 21st, 2011- As the NLL season approaches, players should be focusing on turning the strength they have gained into power. Increasing power production is what will make the biggest impact on a players performance during a game. Speed and quickness are directly related to your ability to produce power. The best way to increase […]…
-December 15th, 2011- Too many lacrosse players are still training like bodybuilders. All over twitter I see updates from pro players saying they are going to crush chest and back today. Or even worse that they are really looking forward to training their arms that day, which always seems to be a Friday oddly enough!! […]…
-December 9th, 2011- One of my favorite strength coaches, Mike Boyle, wrote an article a few years ago that I think all athletes should read. It is called Training is Like Farming. To briefly summarize it, Mike explains that being consistent with your workouts over time is the key to achieving results. There is no […]…
-December 7th, 2011- I saw this video last week and was impressed by it (well impressed by everything except the sit ups that is. You can find out why in my Core Training for Lacrosse article). Can’t say that I’ve ever seen a video like this featuring lacrosse, and certainly haven’t seen one featuring a […]…
-December 2nd, 2011- I have long advocated that CrossFit isn’t the way any lacrosse player should train to get better at their sport. CrossFit is a sport in itself, not a way to train for another sport. Well I went on Facebook today and in my feed Coach Rashad Devoe posted this video of some […]…
