Waffle Knit Questions

Just got my Waffle Knit in and while I like it, I dont know that I love it(at the price point). It’s a little baggy around the midsection, neck seems slightly oversized and the seams up the sides are not flat. Is the original version cut the same? My daughter loves the box though!

I’m 5’7” 175 in a Small

EDIT: Jordan personally called me and walked me through steaming the seams, excellent customer service as we’ve come to expect. Ultimately, I did decide to return it, the value is just not there for me given the price point. But I’m looking forward to seeing what these guys come up with in the future!

First pair of Nick's: Falcon or Ivan and sizing help needed

Considering my first pair of Nicks. These would primarily be casual/weekend wear but would see some action on some of my cleaner jobsites(just walking projects). Some days I'll be on my feet quite a bit. I dont like a high arch, I'm a believer in strengthening your feet and letting them do the work vs arch support. I guess both these boots are on the same last with the moderate arch. I wear a 8.5 EE in White's Perry Selects (had a qc issue which is why I'm trying Nicks this time), foot measures 10 3/16" long and 10 1/4" circumference measured per the Nicks sizing print off but the brannock device doesn’t exactly line up with those measurements

Thoughts on what size to get and which boot? I'd probably go with the Predator Orange leather either way.

ABC Form Re-check (follow up)

This community has been a great wealth of information as I get started with KB. I posted this [FORM CHECK](https://www.reddit.com/r/kettlebell/s/qnu3H0tUa8) video on Monday and got almost universal response to fix my rack position. I tried to work on that with today’s EMOM, it definitely felt better but and hopefully is improved.

Other things even I see, 1) banging into my wrist at the top of the rack, it was super sweaty and I forgot my chalk but I still have room to improve 2) Am I trying to “curl” into the rack position too much? Possibly not getting enough momentum from the hip hinge?

This was bothering me so bad.

My KBs are all mismatched and one of my 24s has a red handle for some reason. And my 40 was pink. $9 pack of tape and I’ve got them all right. May have to replace it eventually but I’ve got 30’ of each color.

Wanting to add 2 X 20 KG. Will the Rogue finish hold up better over time?

I’ve cobbled this set together over the years (small ones for the kids) but I’m finally getting serious about KBs in the last couple months. I use the 16s when I do doubles and the 24s for most single stuff but 8kg per hand is a big jump so I was thinking about getting some 20s. I don’t mind spending money on quality equipment and the single 32 Rogue bell I have looks like new but I haven’t used it much.

Newbie ABC form check

Relatively new to specific KB workouts, have used them as accessory for CrossFit and BFF for years. But I’m 41 now with three kids under five so I’m prioritizing function and longevity lately. Keeping the weight light until I get form dialed, how does this look?

Note that this is after a 20 min EMOM so this is basically worst-case scenario

Trying to get the hang of this before working on my baby. What angle for EDC?

I’m pretty sure the stock angle is 25°. The guy at my local knife store recommends 22°. What are you guys doing?

Pioneer Duffle - 200 miles by boat

Took my duffle on its first real trip. 200 miles to Charleston, SC. Really is the perfect long weekend bag. Love the water resistance, pockets and boot garage especially.

Have you found ceramic coating to be worth it?

My boat is three years old, I keep it on a covered lift, but it does get some pretty harsh afternoon sun on the port side. I was starting to see a little bit of chalky finish and some wear where my fenders hit. I had a local detailer do ceramic coating and they said it’s good for 2 to 3 years as long as I maintain it. I’m happy with the result but damn it was expensive. What are you guys doing to maintain your gel coat?

Homeless encampment being demolished- Brookshire

Looks like they’re about to disassemble and trash this homeless encampment at the 85 exit of Brookshire. On the one hand, I get it, but on the other, it definitely made me sad.

Is low dose Reta right for me?

I am 41 years old, 5’7”, 185 pounds. I’m thinking I’m right around or a little over 25% BF, I’d love to be around 15% while maintaining the same lean body mass. If I do a low-dose of Reta, while eating plenty of protein and lifting, is it fair to assume I’ll be able to not lose muscle?

I’m a Big Boy, I’m a real Big Boy.

I got a big truck and I drive around town, I got a big old wiener and I make mommy proud. I drive around town, I drive around town, got a big old wiener and a drive around town.

Jokes aside, this thing was bad ass

Watched the first episode last night, realized that I had a picture of Sugar’s Bar framed in my office.

When I was 20 I lived in Huntersville, NC and had an old Honda Shadow I would cruise around on after work. I took this picture in June 2006. Paused the first episode when I saw the SW and CS Davis sign and went and grabbed the framed photo to show my wife. They changed Company Store to Forge for the show but it’s the same building. Guess I have to finish the show for sure now.

Me. Reading to my Papa. (1988)

My dad went out for milk one day when I was about this age so Papa was really the only father figure I had. Lost him about 5 years ago.

Turtle Box gets some hate but this new Cub is awesome

I’ve been wanting one of these for boat/beach days but the original was too expensive and the Ranger apparently sounds pretty crappy plus it DOESNT FLOAT! They announced this Cub last week and I reluctantly pulled the trigger (still very expensive). Honestly thought I’d send it back but it’s impressed the hell out of me. We played it at a little over half volume on the sandbar all day and it barely lost any battery life. Not for everyone I know but it’s a great option for a specific application
