Not too bad! It was still warm enough to sweat a bit, but since it was so dry out, the moisture would just evaporate out of you. So even though it was very comfortable, it was still easy to get dehydrated and tired out. All around a great weekend for sure!

The armour is original from Churburg. You're actually inside Churburg when you're panning around. This fella it appears is doing something a bit like what Peter Johnson does when documenting historical blades, and the square thing he runs along the arm opening of the breast plate and the jots down stuff on his drawing is a micrometer ( the square layout allows you to measure deep into larger surface areas ). It looks like he's doing the documentation at Churburg.

That's a good plan. I'm getting pretty sick of my physical condition too. I was exercising and avoiding excess carbs last year, and it was starting to help, and then I slacked off. I really need to get back to it. I'm clearly never going to lead an athletic lifestyle, but at least I can do something more than sit in front of a computer all the time. |

really great answers all around. i figure there diet had a lot to do with their conditioning as well. in reading you always hear how knights were invited to stay here or there so you know they ate better than the rest of the crowd.
i asked this cause I'm on a life style change of food and exercise. it's not a diet cause i don't wanna stop it hehehe. watching what i'm eating, plenty of water, and running or stomach conditioning each day. I'm tired of being fat and out of shape hehehe |

I agree. I doubt they spent two hours a day lifting weights. Rather, they were doing athletic activities that build stamina and strength, not pure bulk.

Probably pretty fit like an athlete who's rather flexible and agile but definitely not musclemen. Got a friend who thinks everyone back then was buff and strong like him, what he fails to realize is having tons of muscles and mass lowers your stamina and makes you less agile. Knights and soldiers HAD to be agile to avoid attacks and swing swords properly. Stamina matters more than strength especially in a heated battle.

Cool armoury, wish I could visit Germany one day to see all that stuff. Only issue is this originals? Or is it reproductions?
