Day 9- Eric Edmonds

 Day 9 started at 10:30 in the gym where I got a good 15 minute light bike then about a 10 minute dynamic warmup before getting into the plyometric routine below:

pogo jumps 2 x 20

squat pulse 2 x 10

rotational broad jump 3 x 2 EL

SL broad to bound 3 x 2 EL

depth jumps 4 x 2

loaded jumps 4 x 3


I was focusing on performing quality reps and really taking my time to get these right because I haven’t done some of them before. I got out of the gym at 12:15 which resulted in an hour and 45 minutes in the gym. 


I got some lunch and rest and headed out for a run on my usual course  (two laps around campus/rail trail) at 1:45. I went out to Carr field at 2:15 to perform some close control ball work that I got from these two videos.

I left the field at 3:15 so I was out for 1 hour and 30 minutes. 

Lastly I got into the gym at 4:30 and did some low intensity biking, abs because I forgot to do them earlier, and my 30 minute stretch from this video. Pro Footballer's Full Deep Stretch and Yoga Routine | 30 Minute Yoga for Soccer Players

I left the gym at 5:45 for dinner 


Total Time: 4 hours 30 minutes .

Eric Edmonds- Day 11

  Day 11 started at 10:00 in the gym where I’d do some quick warmups then get into a prolonged upper day because I spent some extra time doing extra workouts. I performed the routine below: Bench 4x8 185 LBS Incline DB bench 3x6 70’s Standing shoulder press 3x6 105 lbs Lateral raises 3x8 30’s Neutral grip pull ups 3x10 Machine rows 3x12 100 LBS Cable pullovers 3x12 42.5 LBS Rope Face pulls 3x12 30 LBS I did this longer upper day because I wanted to do some of my older workouts and I think I will continue to do this every other upper body workout. It is a lot of volume but it is worth it. I rolled out and got out of the gym at 12:30.  Time at gym: 2 hours 30 minutes Next I went to lunch and rested my body and mind until 2:30 and went to the gym for some stretching following this video Pro Footballer's Full Deep Stretch and Yoga Routine | 30 Minute Yoga for Soccer Players I left the gym at 3:15 after rolling out after. I spent 45 minutes there. I am going to go out to the field...

Eric Edmonds- Week 1 Reflection

During week one I was working on putting my routine into motion and figuring out how to tackle each day one day at a time. Every morning I’d wake up for the first three days I was working on how the timing was going to work and how to plan my workouts in a way that I was getting the most out of every session. I usually start with an hour and a half and sometimes two hours in the gym. I am lifting for usually an hour to an hour and a half and stretching from 15-30 minutes depending on how my body is feeling. I am focusing on what is tight and sore which is usually my hamstrings, calves and abductors. All around I am focusing on having a strong start to the day and getting ready to hit the field after lunch. I have been going to the field for around an hour and a half in the afternoon from 2:00-3:30. Then I finish off the day with some plyometrics and mobility/recovery so my body is ready to go again the next day. I do conditioning 3 days a week. Usually in the morning or after my ball w...

Edmonds Project Day 1

    My first day of project period consisted of gym and field work. I needed to get my times for the mile(6:02 seconds), 100 meter(12.1 seconds), and 300 meter(58.4 seconds). This was very important information because these are the times I will be comparing to on my final day. I got to the gym at 10 A.M and did a R.A.M.P warm up on the turf strip along with a stretch (Raise, Activate, Mobilize, Prepare). This took about 20 minutes as I am being very cautious of injuries because of all the stress I am going to be putting my muscles through for the next two weeks. I ran the mile on the treadmill, but for my second test I will be running outside with an app on of my peers told me about that tracks your speed and time. After the mile I went out to the field to run the 100 and 300 meter and recorded my times. After this I got some ball work in with some close dribbling drills. This took me to around 12:00 P.M when I took a lunch break. I went back to the gym to preform my explosiv...
