SUMMER TRAINING

Our flagship training program has entered its 8th year!

Summer Elite has been the staple of Pulaski Strength Training since its inception.

Our program revolves around the newest concepts in the strength and conditioning field.

We are dedicated to pushing the bounds of our athletes' potential in their pursuit of their sports performance goals.

DURING THE SUMMER WE INCORPORATE THE WEIGHT ROOM, sprinting, AND skating INTO OUR TRAINING

SUMMER STRUCTURE

Phase 1: we begin by building the foundation with corrective exercises tailored to attacking issues that have built up over the long playing season. Some areas of focus include the ankle, knees, hips, and groin. This is also the time of year we encourage athletes to take a break from skating & focus on off-ice sprint work.

Phase 2: introduces strength/ power movements that are placed in a sequence that helps develop muscle size and growth. This, paired with proper nutrition, adds the greatest benefit during the summer.

Phase 3: we begin to incorporate more complexes, velocity-based training, & olympic-style lifting to further our athletes' power and speed production.

Phase 4: we put all the pieces together and we begin to move weight as fast as possible: the training becomes more strictly based around movement velocity. This allows for the best results heading into tryouts/ camp based on the athletes' team and level of play.
