Posterior Chain Hockey Power
Posterior chain hockey power builds glutes and hamstrings for stride drive—hinges and hip thrusts balanced with quad and adductor work.
Posterior chain hockey power trains glutes and hamstrings—the muscles driving hip extension in acceleration and top-speed strides—through hinges, RDLs, hip thrusts, and kettlebell swings. Horizontal force matters as much as vertical jump scores for skating.
Keep hamstring volume balanced with quad and adductor work to avoid groin overload from opposing pulls.
Common questions
-
Are hamstring curls enough for hockey posterior chain?
Curls isolate knee flexion; skating needs hip extension from hinges and thrusts. Use curls as accessories, not the main posterior-chain stimulus.
