Saw that earlier- he looks pretty jacked! How would you like to take one of those shoulders into the boards?

Risto work hard. Risto strong.

Pshhh, I do 2 of those tires before each shift....

That just looks like a back injury waiting to happen. Seems like there are much safer exercises that would focus more on hockey movement than lifting heavy objects.

I don't get the sense that Risto's huge on carefully conceived approaches to things.

[LTS]

It's a pretty typical workout these days.

 

And yes.. he looks jacked.

This guy apparently isn't afraid, from his comment:

Yeah pretty sure Danny Briere was the cross-fit hipster.  I remember him talking about these farm workouts moving tires and stuff before it was a mainstream thing.

Ha, great find!

 

I don’t want any Sabre catching those iron fists. Kane will always hold a special place in my heart for his three fight game against Florida. I was there and he whooped Petrovic each time. I’m generally on the fence about fighting in hockey. Most of the time it’s useless “lift the team” or needless “you checked my guy so I’m gonna fight you” nonsense. But man, can it ever rile up a crowd. Sabres lost that game 7-4. Yet it’s one of my favorite games despite the blowout.

Ott is the one I remember going to some dudes ranch or something and doing crazy workout stuff.

[WildCard]

If you go through his posts Eichel is constantly chirping him to have fun with Risto. So, guess the team really is broken...

Yes! The NHL's Paul McCartney worked out with a Quebecois strongman.

I'd flip the crap out of that tire to the right of the one Risto is lifting.

• rasmrist@evander9kane dump it to my corner everytime then

That is freakin’ awesome.

Awright Risto!

It perhaps makes sense that Kane and Risto would be on a similar ... wavelength.

That'll be fun to watch for when we the Oilers play the Sharks next year.

This is Walter Payton & Jerry Rice kind of work ethic.

 

While other players are vacationing with their families or lifting at their local gyms, this guy is out in Spain at one of the most challenging gyms killing it each and every day.

 

Besides his immense talent, only being 23 years old, and signed under a very friendly contract, this guy is driven to get better like few in the game.

 

You just don't trade players like that.  Give him another year or two and his work ethic will be infectious with the rest of the team.

I don't know whether or not he has a family, but I do picture a few less things getting in the way of this kind of workout for a 23 year old as opposed to someone slightly older.

I don't doubt Risto's willingness to work, sweat, lift, push, grunt, and so on.

 

I do doubt his ability to think.
