Eric Edmonds- Day 13

 Day 13 started at 9:45 when I got to the gym to stretch out. I was feeling slightly sore because I ran a pickup scrimmage last night and didn't stretch very well. I rolled out for about 15 minutes and biked for 5 before I did my timed mile. I was feeling good after I stretched and warmed up so I decided to do it today on the treadmill. The treadmill isn’t ideal for timed runs but I varied between 10.5-9 miles per hour and got a much improved time of 5:46. As opposed to 6.02 that I got at the beginning I was happy with my time. After this I did some more stretching and got into my leg workout below:

Back squats 3x6-8 265lbs

  • Box jumps 3x4-6 36 in

  • Weighted jumps 3x8 20 lbs DB’s

  • Assisted jumps 3x8

 - split squats E/legs 6 reps superset RDL’s 6 reps

  • Splits squats 6 reps E/leg superset Split jumps 6 reps E/leg

This routine is continuing to serve me well and I also included arms (biceps and triceps) at the end again. I left the gym at 12:30, which was 2 and a half hours in total. 


I got some lunch and went out to the field at 2:00. I did my 100 meter which I got 11.75 seconds (1st time was 12.6) and my 300 meter which I got 56.4 seconds(1st time was 58.8 seconds) My original plan was to do a workout from my independent program but I was joined by An and I took him through the workout. We finished in about an hour and 15 minutes and then we cooled down by doing some long and short passes. I left the field at around 4:00.


Time Total: 4 hours and 30 minutes (2 hours at the field)

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
