Comments / thoughts - Well I've come a pretty long way from the first time I tried this workout.  I was relatively pleased with my score (for the capacity I am at right now), but we (Chris and I did it together) passed my original score at like minute 8 or 9.  Good and fun day.

Comments 2-7-13 - MAPs always feel like they are getting better.  Maintained a pretty good pace throughout, and tried to keep consistently moving. 

Comments 2-8-13 - Good day, felt good. Lactic is still terrible but much much better than it was a year ago about this time. I don’t feel like 225 is my 1RM on snatch, but then again my time wasn’t awesome on the 20 reps. Right knee is starting to give me fits after lunges, looks like I need to invest in some of those knee braces, I am gettin old.

1-29-13 till 2-4-13

Its been a really long time since I posted, so this is all of my stuff from Jan 29th until today (Feb 4th 2013).  Gotta get used to blogging again.

Side note - Trying out some nutrition changes, I'll make note of it as I think it is important.  Basically I am upping my caloric intake (by a pretty good bit) and protein intake (also by a pretty good bit).  If you follow me around on a given day, I don't eat enough because I am so wrapped up with school and junk, but I am trying to figure out the easiest way to keep up the intake because my output is getting pretty high.
