Strength and Resistance Training

ANNAPOLIS, Maryland — FC Barcelona held a morning training session on Thursday at the US Naval Academy here in Annapolis. The morning workout was held in the Wesley A. Brown Field House and was the first of two planned for the day.

After spending their first night in Annapolis, which is the capital of Maryland and is located about 40 kilometers from Baltimore, the team began their strength training at 10 a.m. local time (4 p.m. in Barcelona). The focus was on resistance training their conditioning.

On Saturday, August 3rd, FC Barcelona will fly to New York to face Real Madrid in El Clásico, which has become somewhat of a summer tradition here in the United States. Following the game, the team will return to Annapolis on Sunday, August 4th, to prepare for the final game of their tour in Baltimore versus AC Milan.
