*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.
