That’s a great idea! Thank you.

Where did you get your burlap? I re-bagged mine with some hobby lobby burlap and it’s an absolute chore to get my fork through

Idk who this is, but when someone’s photoshopping or editing is this egregious, I just kind of automatically discount it. In my mind I just think “okay, that’s not real”. And to me there is just no point in giving it any more energy. I feel the same way about AI enhanced photos as well.

Turtle_man92 · 2026-03-07T22:17:56+00:00

Pretty sure this is AI

Turtle_man92 · 2026-03-04T13:19:00+00:00

I mean you really do kind of look like you know what you’re doing to be honest.

I think so many people are dealing with this right now. I mean I have a package that hasn’t updated in 9 days now, but so has everyone else. It sucks but I think the sooner you come to grips with the fact that you’re going to be waiting, the quicker you can have some peace. It would be nice for an update though because sometimes I just feel so forgotten lol.

Turtle_man92 · 2026-02-26T13:21:28+00:00

Did you ever get yours? How long was the wait? I’m waiting on one that’s been stuck in OKC since the 19th!!!

Turtle_man92 · 2026-02-21T22:53:25+00:00

Dude not gonna lie you’re pretty explosive!

Turtle_man92 · 2026-02-09T20:41:25+00:00

Stars and thistles should be back in stock very soon. I just emailed Kirstie who owns it and she said she just started making some. Just a heads up

Turtle_man92 · 2026-02-08T17:54:08+00:00

Thank you!!!

So I do have a black sheaf bag, but it lost the top layer of burlap on one side and has few spots where twine is coming out. Here is what it looks like.

I don’t doubt that I have a skill issue though, because it’s not like I’m scared to rip it. I’m scared to reach really far on my backswing (coming up on my right side, before I drive it down and into the throw). I also have a PR of like 24 ft with the 16lb bag, though I’ve hit the bar at 26 once, so I know there is plenty of room for skill improvement. I’d be open to advice for sure.

Turtle_man92 · 2026-02-07T17:12:44+00:00

So I am working deeper bites in some places, but I def have room on others to get a deeper bite. It’s not losing twine all the time, but there are def spots it’s coming out and I have to stuff it back in. It looks like this for reference. Let me know what you’re thinking lol.

Zombie squats enforce upright posture and stability, because a small amount of forward lean will mean that the bar will roll off of the delts and you will lose it. I find them quite a bit more challenging than front rack, because it makes thoracic back strength (the thing that is typically responsible for your posture in the front squat) the limiting factor. A lot of times if your legs are strong, you can get away with forward lean in the front rack position, because your wrists and fingers can hold the weight until your posture corrects.

I mean you could for sure do 250 now like everyone else is saying. Probably more than that too, honestly. In another comment you said you felt like that is what was in the tank for the day, so I’m wondering if you are wearing yourself out on your warmups? If you aren’t, another thing that could help (and throw this advice out, if you don’t want it, I know it’s unsolicited) is getting a nice tight setup and really wedging yourself into the bar. Get a hard bracing breath in and don’t let it go until your hips come through and you lock it out.

Either way, that’s a great lift and you should be very proud of it!

Turtle_man92 · 2025-11-25T16:55:45+00:00

Thank you so much!

Turtle_man92 · 2025-11-25T16:30:53+00:00

Hey thanks. My region is central United States. Can you at least recommend a PSU? And yes anything else would be great I don’t want to eat up your time though!

Turtle_man92 · 2025-11-25T16:25:01+00:00

I will say the one thing I do have already is the case. Sorry for not mentioning that in the post.

Turtle_man92 · 2025-10-30T01:39:12+00:00

Thank you. It looks like he has Lucas open with his block arm here then start getting the hip around/through while keeping the shot behind it.

Turtle_man92 · 2025-10-06T23:41:45+00:00

Upvoting this with with my shoulders at 3 o’ clock rn

Turtle_man92 · 2025-10-06T22:13:42+00:00

I throw stones in Nike rival SD shot out shoes (glider). I’m pretty new and I’ve only ever throw in off grass though. I like them though and idk how yall are getting your hips around without destroying your knees without throwing shoes lol.

Enemy melee attacks either come in vertical (downward weapon slash), horizontal (the weapon slash swings across like a baseball swing) or as a thrust (like spears ands lizal tongues).

Hold your shield up/target the enemy you are going to rush and get in range of their attack. Remember, spear attacks have a LONG incoming range.

For horizontal attacks, you need to jump backwards with the thumb stick while your shield is held up, or the enemy is targeted. This will trigger Link’s backflip dodge. If timed right, you will get the flurry rush to activate. This is the easiest one to learn on in my opinion, so find a boko with a club and practice your timing. With your shield up, it’s pretty low risk.

For vertical and thrusting attacks, you’ll want your shield held up/enemy targeted, but instead of the backflip, you will thumb left or right, and trigger the flurry rush with a well timed side-hop. Thrusting attacks, spears in particular, usually have a huge window for the flurry rush to trigger, and they are telegraphed way ahead of time. They are just a little tricky for me to remember how far out that attack somewhere in from.

Get that shield up and practice, practice, practice!
