Hockey Strength Trainer | Eric Hinrichsen

Hi! I’m Coach Eric. After stepping away & a lot of life changes, I’m excited to say that I’m back to offering personal & online training! But it’ll look a little different. I’m now focused on helping hockey players become faster, stronger, and more durable! 👇

Your talent will be forgotten unless your attitude and work ethic give them a reason to remember.

What are we training today? I’ve got a day at the PULL planned. Deadlifts, rows, and Pulldowns galore. Gonna be a great day! 💪

I don’t care if you play hockey 7 nights per week, hitting the gym is a MUST. Stronger on the puck. Bigger size to win battles. Gain explosive first steps. Injury resilience. Stamina and endurance. Why would you NOT want to lift?!

The gym isn’t just for getting strong or building muscle. It’s also for improving athletic performance, creating an injury resistant body, moving more comfortably through life, building confidence in your body, and boosting your mood and energy. What do you want to achieve?

I don’t know too many people that have strong glutes and a bad back. Peaches > Pancakes

Be coachable

The efforts you put in at practice will lead to the opportunities you’re hoping for on game day.

6a practice > 6p practice

Repetition builds competence. Competence breeds confidence. Stop stopping because the first attempts don’t strike gold. You have to suck (sometimes for a long time) before you get better. Keep going!

The gym isn’t therapy. But it is therapeutic.

We reap what we spend our time thinking about. So stop spending hours talking about the behaviors you want to change and start talking about the person you’re looking to become. Create the clear vision of your future, and let the past be in the past.

We’re gonna make it. Idk how exactly, but we’re gonna make it. 🚀

I completed my first (full) marathon this past weekend! The festivities were amazing. The crowds/support were next level. Seeing friends pushing their own boundaries was inspiring. But no moment from that day will top crossing the finish line hand in hand with my wife. ❤️

Holy shit! It’s just starting to hit — I’m running my first FULL marathon in 4 days! Oh goodness! 😵

CBJ are 2-1, could this be the year?!? Prolly not, but maybe! Go Jackets!

Landmine curtsy lunges are elite for hockey players. One of the best exercises to mimic skating - primarily crossovers. 2 sets of 6-8 reps per side will be enough to get you going.

My online client, @CDonnelly_GG, came out to help backstop our team last night. Great to meet in person, get a good workout in and have some fun. From the coaching side, we identified some things were going to work on. 💪🏒 Can’t wait to do it again.

No, your back should not round on deadlifts. Unless the purpose of the deadlift is to strengthen the muscles that support your spine and posterior chain and you’re doing it with good control… Then your back should round on deadlifts. Zercher Jefferson Curls ftw

Screen time has been waaaay too high recently with little to no output of value. All consumption. Gotta try and right the ship. The brain, body, and soul are feeling it.
