Thomas Liebold works out a lot but he always follows one rule in the gym, that rule is to never do cardio. he thinks it is boring and useless, he does not think it helps on the ice either because most of the cardio that people do includes running or biking and those are clearly much different than ice skating so there is no way there is any correlation between the movements and therefore no need to do it. instead he prioritizes strength and skill training because being big and strong is important and he is a skill player so he needs to be able to score. to make sure he can do this he works on his hands and puck control and he shooting because it is impossible to score if you cannot shoot the puck. strength is important so he can check other players and help play defense but it is more fun to score so he focuses on his skills the most
