I added 10 more pounds to more bench press last night...And I have nothing productive either. Is your team still doing it together?

Working out your wrists would be so pointless Laughing

I know someone is going to tell me some stupid reason why it's important to have strong wrists, but it isn't important at all. You want to be in all around good shape, obviously...But wrists don't matter. Biceps and Triceps are both pretty useless for goaltending, also. You need core muscles, like the abdominal, chest, back, and oblique because they're the first to contract when you move. It makes for quick and efficiant movement. If you're weight training to be a goalie, you don't need anything except core muscles. I do, do biceps and triceps though, but it's for looks.

yeah, we havean abdominal machine, and a back machine. i do those on both days, and i do sit-ups on the decline bench. but the upper body is pointless, if it were up to me, itd just be lower body and core ,like i was doin at home before the team started together. (okay, i did some push-ups and curls sometimes). it isnt pointless thoguh, for the skaters. the upper body is totally base around pecs and triceps, those are the only things that are sore after. like, for the bench press, he has us hold it far apart so it works on the pecs. i sqauted 115 yesterday, is that any good, since ive never sqated before? Confused

i bench press i think like 80. i do everything at half my body weight, just to start off, except for the abdominals and back, i do those at body weight

Upper body is part of your core strength. You need to be able to keep your chest up in your stance.

Like in that picture, his chest is up and sqaure. You don't need to be able to bench like 300, but skipping it and not continuing to improve it wouldn't be good. It's definatly not useless. Plus the better all around shape your in, the easier it is going to be to get up and down and move because you won't have fat weighing you down.

I sqaut with dumbbells, so I don't really know. But if you did like one set of one sqaut and couldn't do anymore, then I would say...It's high rep, not high weight on the sqauts.

You should seriously be running, too, or at least doing some type of conditioning.

I agree with FS one the upper body comments auburn. Not useless by any means.

i get where you guys are coming from, thanks for explaining it to me, i just meant, like, out of the three major areas, (legs, core, arms), if you could only do two, it would be legs and core.
