Just stuck with my reps today, cause I felt like it. That’s about it, hopefully get in more kettlebell work tomorrow.
*Meant to post this on Sunday – it is for last week
Did more than normal this week,
Monday: swimming
Tuesday: Kettlebell training. Each of the following performed 1 arm at a time with my 35lb KB.
Kettlebell swing:
5 sets of 8
Kettlebell bent press:
5 sets of 10
One-arm overhead squat:
5 sets of 10
As always, found a great article over at EliteFTS.com; Top Five Kettlebell Exercises for Football Strength – go check it out.
Wednesday: more swimming
Saturday: Coach training from 9:30 to 2:30, part was classroom, part was skills training on the field. Had a great time and am looking forward to this next season of soccer. Then went to a swimming at a friends house.
Definitely better than most weeks, need to find more time for the kettlebell though, it’s actually pretty fun.

Deadlifts are always a good time. Been getting in more conditioning/cardio/mobility days too. Will likely just create summary posts once a week on those though.

Everything just felt heavy today – when it really should not have. Happens every once in a while and I won’t stress it.
I am changing things up a bit for now and will be training Squat/Bench then Deadlift/Press. Between these will be a few days of conditioning; I’m thinking this is a good way to make myself get the conditioning in that I need. I’m no fan of it, but really need to get that in a LOT more often. Likely this will consist of mixes of the following; kettlebell, pulling the tire sled, hill runs, swimming, walking, and anything else that I can get in. I may also dedicate days to stretching and mobility. Ideas are always welcome.

Just went in and got my lifts, now we’re off to spend 4th of July with family. I hope everyone has a great holiday, now for my favorite 4th of July reference ever:
“Celebrate the independence of your nation by blowing up a small part of it”
