Off-Ice with Adam Francilia: One Arm Goalie Pushup Progression

Last week San Jose Sharks consultant Adam Francilia shared the Swiss Ball Groin Buster with InGoal Members, looking at both the important strengthening components as well as key muscle-firing patterns and the relation to the biomechanics we employ on the ice.

Today he has a goalie-specific twist on the classic push-up. It comes complete with progressions so that even the young goalies in our audience will benefit  — and let’s not get distracted by the “one arm” part of the title – hang in there. You’ll go from push-ups that are easier than a standard two-arm push-up all the way through to a one-armed push-up that includes some eye-hand coordination. 

Check out the complete video below. As always, there are important form tips worth seeing before you jump right in and the progressions come. a bit later on as well. Add these to your workouts and before long you’ll be crushing one arms and making saves at the same time.
