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 after dinner at 6:30. I am going to perform some shooting drills because it is friday and I want to have some more fun drills since I have been doing ball mastery all week. Since I don’t know if I am going to be back before 8:00 PM I am posting my blogpost prior.

Eric Edmonds- Week 2 Reflection

  Week 2 things were a lot smoother because I learned how to make my routine flow during week one. I stuck with lifting in the morning, playing soccer in the afternoon, and stretching out and mobilizing my body. I was a lot more focused on the recovery aspect of things this week for a lot of reasons. Obviously I was waking up sore the majority of last week and I wanted to learn how to fix it. I also just wanted to build good habits and figure out what my body needs and how it recovers. I was eating well and stretching, but I realized that I am missing an aspect of recovery. I wasn’t sleeping long enough. I also found that taking a 30 minute nap after lunch really benefited my afternoon sessions. I saw in a video about sleep coaching and professional players often nap midday after lunch because it is the body’s natural shutdown period. In Spain, they have siesta which is exactly this. You do a little body reset and it sets you up better than tackling the next thing right after. I took m

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
