Matt Lofland 95 Days of Preparation for NFL REGIONAL COMBINE

[DocHollidy]

Starting 12/17/2012 I will begin my training and efforts for 95 days to prepare for the NFL Regional Combine.

I recently attended a combine for BSN at the University of Maryland-College Park and did well, but was not prepared and out of shape... I will begin a set schedule beginning tomorrow morning. I will use this log to hold myself accountable and to be able to look back and monitor progress being made. Today I will post my current stats, video, and my goals for the March 23rd Combine.... Lets go, any support and subscribers would make this journey that much greater!
