SB39 2 Report post Posted October 4, 2004 Only way your sentence works is if you substitute "supplements" with "quick feet." But that has been beaten to death already. I swear to God don´t start this again, honestly. If you read some scientific literature instead of simply pulling this stuff out of your $%&, you would get my frustration. Also, just out of curiosity, define a supplement for me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadd 916 Report post Posted October 4, 2004 do you knwo the % of guys in the show on supps? Not according to some of the AHL guys I've spoken to recently. Mostly the guys who are struggling to keep a job and are willing to try anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gongshow11 1 Report post Posted October 4, 2004 it's just a cardio routine, it's not making your brain or trigger nerves and muscles do anything. when do you do quick feet ont he ice? when you accelerate. what helps acceleration? plyos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted October 5, 2004 quick feet for defense to close gaps at the blueline, to cover mistakes. I guess it could be called acceleration. I've been with power skating teachers who worked on quick feet, while others concentrated on power. The "quick feet drills" which improve your cardio could also be looked upon as improving your quick feet because it helps the body stay fresher longer and not get lagged as easy. All in all I think plyos and a good work-out routine should give you all you need. It'll keep your fresh and powerful. I would suggest going to public skating and working on your agility, it should help with your quick feet neeeds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SB39 2 Report post Posted October 5, 2004 Plyo is for training speed-strength and power, not quickness as much. Quickness, which I take to be close to agility, is more centered on coordination and the strength of balance muscles like ankle flexors and knee stabilisors and such. Work on that strength by doing some off-balance exercises; balance board work, 1-leg squats, whatever you call that ankle exercise... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
