I'm very similar to bishop. Preworkout, BCAA's, and protein. I treat it like it's a cardio based workout in my cycle. I make sure I do my heavy lifting on Monday. (Deadlifts, squats, cleans, ect) My practices are on Friday/Sunday so I want to be fully recovered by then. I push myself at practice lik...

Super fun tournament. Was hoping my fight with Hassan was on there, that was an epic fight!

Euric Germanicus

No worries. I was like wow Northshield really plans ahead! haha

Euric Germanicus

You mean 2014?

Euric Germanicus

Did we have any Mandrake issues the year we used the BB's? I saw the best spear calibration I have seen in 10 years that war. Since the BB'd do not degrade and allow the tip to squeeze between a grill why again did we move away from them? I know after they were banned we did a test here in the East ...

Too bad we missed each other on the pickup field, Euric. That's ok though, Pennsic gets crazy! Your new kit that you posted is looking awesome. For everyone following the training video series, we just uploaded a new instructional video. This one is the 'Crucifix', consisting of a defensive ward fo...

Euric Germanicus

New kit is 80% there. Still need new gaunts and some updates to the pturges/skirting.

Euric Germanicus

Yeah I see who you are talking about. I think Sir Angus (the Roman) turned his head toward him right at the last moment. But, I was on the other side of the field at the time, and on the other team. For most of that segment the guy was hunting down Duke Lucan. The field battle was a bit nuts this y...

Was about to share this

What a great weekend with friends. Looking forward to next year!

Unless Zoombang has gone down in price (dramatically), it's not that much more. And after watching the videos, it looks like it might function better. Just wanted to see if it had been evaluated for use. My Zoombang Shirt was 175, one of those shirts is 394. (I'm comparing the jacket, it has simila...

Euric Germanicus

Can you make stickers large enough for a shield?

Euric Germanicus

Awesome I thought I recognized the helm! I will be at Pennsic, also with a new kit, and will look you up for some pickups. I will be there the second week and will live on that field!

Euric Germanicus

Dietrich,

Off topic, but is this you on the left? I am on the right. This was two Pennsic's ago. We chatted for a few during that hold. (You were trying to club me, I was trying to avoid being clubbed

)

Love the videos. Been a subscriber since you started. Keep em coming!

Euric Germanicus

I practice with Dukes and high end pole fighters that are powerlifters. I wear zoombang under some light armor. I have been absolutely crushed with only the zoombang being hit. It hurt, but I was fine. It's the real deal and I friggan love the stuff.

Euric Germanicus

The pads look great. Their shin pads would be perfect under greaves. For the compression shirt I would stick with Zoombang. The G-Form shirts do not have enough coverage I don't think. As someone that uses Zoombang, it would take quite a lot of convincing to pull me away from it.

Euric Germanicus

I know who made the musculata. I will pm you later, on my phone right now.

Euric Germanicus

Thanks for this. Was looking at picking some up. This sealed it for me.

Euric Germanicus

Been looking into a weighted vest for a "simulated" armor feel. Outside of that, as others have said, Kettlebells! I've been an athlete all my life. 3-4x a week in the gym as well to stay fit. Switched to kettlebells about two months ago and they have been kicking my ass in the best of ways. I went ...

Euric Germanicus

If you guys are having trouble getting the zoombang off due to a fit, just put some Under Armor underneath it. Works like a charm.

Euric Germanicus

I placed an order October 6th. Should I be making sure you received it?

Euric Germanicus

I hit him up on Facebook. He has a current que. Been his que since Aug 8th, still no word back.

Euric Germanicus

Sir Arminius has great video on his youtube channel.

Pics?

Might have a bid for you tonight. Have a new fighter, gotta see if this works for him.

Euric Germanicus

I will start you at $100

Euric Germanicus

Find someone way better than you. Does not have to be Chiv. Put time aside each week to work together outside of fight practice. Do slow work, come up with fighting specific workouts. Talk about the psychology of fighting, work on footwork. I'm in pretty good shape, and I've fought in amazing, rippe...

Euric Germanicus

Freiman covered most of it. Can you show us some photos so we can help a bit more?

Congrats on getting in armor! It's the first step on a long and awesome journey.

Euric Germanicus

Awesome videos. We need a lot more of this.

Who made your helm? I love it!

Euric Germanicus

PM Sent, dibs on the helm

Euric Germanicus

Town- Whatever side was attacking was sure to win. The town was a bit too big to defend for long. Bridge- LOVE the 5, 15 min Bridges. Made it far more intense, and caused more aggressive play. Woods- Always love the woods. Field- 5 battles was a great idea. Gave us all plenty of fighting, and allowe...

Euric Germanicus

No more Birka fighting for me. Hurt my back last year bad enough that I had to re think how I play the game as a whole. My lady went and said it was a lot of fun. She came back and said some guy got knighted and she "thinks" I know him. It was friggan' D! I cheered, out loud! She thinks I'm nuts, bu...

Euric Germanicus

I'm excited to use, and be killed by the new spears.

Anything that makes it look less like we are using giant Q-tips to stab each other with.

Euric Germanicus

Sir Kennric is my vote!
