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 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...
