Well, I'm back. I was a member when the site was in its infancy (how long ago was that?!?!?) and I thought I'd rejoin. It's cool to see how much has stayed the same.
Background: Div1 soccer, pro soccer for 3 years.
Current Stats (with all time best/worst in parenthesis):
Age: 28 (An all time best!)
Ht: 6ft even barefoot (funny story, it's actually 5'11 7/8: the last time I went to the doctor she put 6' after measuring me, thought about it for a second then erased and wrote 5'11 7/8
). I'll keep it at 6 ha. (This is my all time best since I'm unlikely to get taller at this point)
Wt: 190 (I've been as heavy as 210)
Standing vert: Touch rim ~30 (35.5 on vertec was my all-time best)
3 Step vert off two: Mid-hand to rim (few inches below wrist was all-time best, done when I was heaviest)
3 Step box jump: 54" (also all-time best, never tried it when I was fittest)
Running vert off one: Mid-hand to rim (few inches below wrist was all-time best, done surprisingly when I was heaviest)
Paused Squat: 285 (355 paused was all time best, done when I was heaviest)
Squat: 315 (415 was all time best, also when I was heaviest)
30m: Not Sure at the moment but I still get comments about speed when playing sports (just below 4 was all time best, done with freelap off first movement)
400m: No Clue (55s)
Goals: There's a IM track-meet at my school at the end of April, and I'd really like to win a few events. I'd also like to be able to dunk again. With-that in mind, more specifically
400m: under 55s, ideally close to 50s (this was the distance I thought I was best at back when I was fittest)
200m: under 24s, ideally close to 23s
100m: under 12s, ideally close to 11s
Jumping: touch forearm to rim again from 3 step (2 feet) and from run off one foot. 60" box off three steps.
Wt: under 180lbs
Squat: 2x BW paused
I've had a couple knee surgeries, one ankle surgery, and one hand surgery over the last decade and my body is generally a wreck (thanks soccer) so injury management is key. It's been a hectic last few months, so I haven't been training regularly: I have been active a decent amount, just that there has been no pattern or structure to it.
I'm glad to be back!
