    Chuck Norris once lost his keys and couldn't remember where he put them. So he tortured himself for half an hour until he gave up their location.

    you need to train for muscular endurance as well as strength. I would alternate training sessions of moderate reps 6-10 for strength and high reps 20-75 for endurance.
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    maybe you are doing too much exercise on your legs, so they have no chance to heal? i dont know how many times ur training your legs per week, but hockey 6 days a week seems like it would put quite a strain on your legs... im not expert tho, dont listen to me.

    I definitely agree with that. If you are playing hockey 6 days a week and lifting, then you are putting a serious strain on your legs and central nervous system. I would do only very moderate exercising of your legs while hockey season is in session.

    hockey is a TON of outer and inner thighs.

    my buddies who all played had huge legs, and to get them strong they did those "girlie" machines. the ones where the pad is either on the inside, and you squeeze your legs together, or the pad is on the outside, and you open your legs.

    plus i remember one of my buddies had this like "slide" thing. it was probably about 5ft long, real slipperly, and had almost like "stopper" things on each end. what you do is where socks, and go back and forth, which mimicks skating.

    Plus, you are prob. not getting enough rest.
    But shit bro, you're prob. in High school right?
    i used to go to school, lift after school, THEN go to the toughest basketball practices in the world (literally) for 2.5hrs.
    Granted, i'd be so beat i couldnt even stand up after i showered/ate at night after practice, but you're young bro, and full of test.......
    You're a funny guy, Sully, I like you. Dat's why I'm going to kill you lahst.

    When I played ice hockey when I lived in New Hampshire I used to supplement with biking and cross country skiiing for my legs.. But everyone else here is right, it sounds like you aren't giving yourself any time to recover and heal. Good luck.
