LMishkin:
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  :uhhhfacepalm: ). 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!

That was it, I tried for ages to remember it. I'm gonna log out of this account and back into it since I just figured out the password too. Adarq, can you delete this account (LMishkin)?

Thought I'd attach this pic in honor of his big contract day. CJ and I went to the same school and are up on the same leader-board in the athlete's gym (here's a screenshot from the old athletic website). He is being compensated slightly better than me at the moment though haha

Today was meh training wise. I had been kicked in the head (soccer game on Sunday) and definitely had a minor concussion so I took it easy yesterday. Felt ok today but definitely didn't want to lift. Went into the gym just to do some box jumps but the room where I usually go was being taken up by a martial arts class. Had to go somewhere else so I did 3x10 standing at 44". On the best one I landed in maybe a 1/4 squat so I felt pretty good. My left knee is swollen but I think it's just a bruise (from Sunday). Fingers crossed.

I made a sled out of a tire so I'm gonna break that out tomorrow. The rest of tonight I'm just gonna go for a long walk.
