Starting Strength and Beer League Hockey

[pmmInWV]

I began using the Starting Strength program a few months ago to improve my Hockey Skills. I play once a week in a recreational, adult league; and a few more times each week in pick-up games.

Prior to beginning Starting Strength, I was into running ultra-marathons. Last year, I did a few 32 mile races, and one 50 miler. My weight was down to just over 150 pounds. Great for running - Not so great for hockey. I was getting knocked around like a ping-pong ball.

I've given up distance running, and am now focused solely on getting stronger, adding weight back on, and improving my hockey skills. In just the past few months, I've already noticed a difference in my game. I'm skating faster, winning battles for the puck along the boards, shooting harder, and not getting pushed around so much.
