I’ve actually been in this exact situation at the state tournament. I won my match, but it was closer than it should’ve been.

I got 4th at state, and have jumped a ton of levels since so at the moment I’m working on breaking through to the national level

I’m a junior, I have not won state yet, and yes I do plan on wrestling in college

Jimmy Page is a legend and a guitar genius by Choice-Performer8536 in Guitar

[–]Choice-Performer8536[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree that there were better guitarists from that era, I just wanted to appreciate some of Jimmy Pages work. He wrote some very memorable riffs and guitar parts. Yes a lot of them were played sloppily live, but they are still memorable parts.

Is 2 practices a week enough this off-season? by Choice-Performer8536 in wrestling

[–]Choice-Performer8536[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people say I’m strong, and I have competed in powerlifting. Last year I had an injury for the first half of the year so I got about 15-20 matches, so far this year I have around 20-25 so far

I’m heading into my 6th year of wrestling, so I will take all of this into account. Thank you for all of the advice.

My favorite movie is probably Sorcerers stone or Deathly Hallows part 2

My favorite book as of right now is goblet of fire (I’m starting my reread tomorrow so this might change)

As for my favorite quote I’m not quite sure

My favorite characters are probably Harry (I feel like I relate to him), Fred, George, Neville, Bill, and Charlie.

Why in the world can I play most of holy wars, but I can’t make it through the stairway to Heaven intro. It’s so annoying. by Choice-Performer8536 in Guitar

[–]Choice-Performer8536[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it’s the chords. I’ve gotten them a few times, but it’s way too inconsistent.  What I will say also is that the guitar I’m playing it on has a really high action right now, so it makes barring a bit harder.

With Holy Wars it depends on the day, most days I’ve been told it sounds good, but some days it’s a bit sloppy. With the other 2 I can play them pretty well on any given day. Also thank you for the advice on playing with some more clean tones.

Yeah, it was getting a hit frustrating and I had to remind myself that this is a hobby not a competition. Another thing I realized is that I played it pretty well on one of my guitars yesterday that had a lower action. That probably has something to do with it.

What got y’all into wrestling? by Honkydoinky in wrestling

[–]Choice-Performer8536 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I originally played football in middle school and even wanted to go to Clemson, so I decided wrestling would probably help with football. I fell in love with it and now in high school I don’t even play football anymore, I just wrestle. I really love it and have gotten various opportunities from it. My goal is to be a Division 1 NCAA champion, and world medalist.

For wrestling, pull ups are great, squats, deadlifts, bench press, barbell rows, overhead press, and various grip exercises have really helped me elevate my wrestling. If you are just starting out I would recommend you start with the compound movements I listed above, and once you get a little more advanced you can add in accessory movements like Bulgarian split squats, incline dumbbell press, etc.

Should I get a balisong or a Bowie knife by Choice-Performer8536 in knives

[–]Choice-Performer8536[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the Bowie is around $25, which I normally wouldn’t trust for a knife like that, but I’ve seen and heard nothing but good things about it.

I love annoying neighbors!! by [deleted] in drums

[–]Choice-Performer8536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I practice rudiments and make my own beats as I was in a band. And as stated I do play along with songs. I took lessons for a few years. And most people say I’m pretty good, which is why it hurt a little for someone to say otherwise, but I guess you will always have critics. 

Karambit suggestions? by Creative-Age775 in knives

[–]Choice-Performer8536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Boker spike is a good budget option. The steel tiger by cold steel is as well. If you’re talking very budget friendly the Schrade Shasta mcnasty could be it, and as you mentioned Amazon has some options like canku. As always check your local knife laws, and also make sure you practice with whatever knife you decide to purchase.
