Protein shakes

As pointed out by about 3-4 people. Protein shakes are really for weight training only and not for your average runner / athlete which technically you should be looking towards for paintball. (my opinion!)
Protein shakes just help repair muscles after 'ripping' them at the gym. Not what you need for running
The only thing to gain speed really is a good diet and training. Again as pointed out this doesn't come over night.
People also mentioned creatine...the normal which is not a good idea considering it actually increases water retention. Makes people look bigger then they actually are Also the powder form can't be mixed with anything and taste's disgusting.

Just a couple of points to raise. Cumulative microtrauma in the muscles certainly can occur after running and a protein shake can be every bit as useful for a runner as for any other kind of athlete.As pointed out by about 3-4 people.

For speed work, a selection of SAQ drills will be all you need. The important part is that the drills are sport specific. E.g. no point in doing a 30 mile run to increase speed when in a game situation you're very unlikely to be running any further than 50 yards at a time.
Water retention with creatine does occur, no doubt about that- it is a cell volumizer after all, but the excessive levels that used to occur with early batches are uncommon now.
As for the taste, you can't have tried the Reflex creatine supps then

just read through all the replies and by far this quote hits it, the basis of all performance is a hard foundation of real fitness, this will help your performance on field or at training by miles, dont just assume you can sit on your ass all week and eat pizza, and down a can of redbull on a sunday morning and slay everthing put in front of you.

As others have said, protein won't do anything at all for fitness or bleep tests. - It's the training that does it.
Protein's required to help repair/build your body after a workout (or any physical activity that you put on your body), depeding on the amount of you've put your muscles through then you 'might' need an increase in protein.
It would depend on how much training you do for the bleep test and the effort that you put in to the training as to whether you would need extra protein than you're consuming now.
screw drinking just take sterioidsQUOTE]
hope you realise the downsides of steroids
shrink your balls
thats cool il have some roids my balls are big enough hahahaha
Well I don't know what biochemistry college some of you attended but here's the low down since somebody has shown interest.
Firstly, protein is the building block of muscle.
These protein drinks aren't full of sh!te as somebody suggested, most are carefully selected menus of proteins and carbs etc, designed to cater for the differing demands of athletes whether it be energy sourcing (carbs) or muscle growth (proteins) or both.
You can get improved performance by eating proteins because you can increase the muscle fibre bundles (by training and eating protein) that are responsible for acceleration and strength.
The more muscle you have, the greater potential for generating a force and since f=m.a, it's reasonable to assume you will go faster, this ain't no rocket science here.
Physical Fitness is mainly determined by your cardio vascular system and energy source and so this is an entirely different set of considerations when training as against trying to build muscle groups.
Basically, human physiology is governed by the science of biochemistry and other disciplines and as such, you don't get something for nothing, not in this game.

out of interest anyone know ho wmany different steriod types there are and witch is "the best"?, there must be a reason that Arny and Mr Olympia havn't die or had their hair fall out whilst symoltaniously losing all their sex drive?
Myoplex protien and utrition shakes= better than Mc donalds milskahes IMHO yummy

Well entire medical journals can, and have been written on that subject. Depends if you're talking about orals, injectables, playing with your insulin levels, GH etc. A lot of what damage is done depends on how well you do your PCT or Post Cycle Therapy. Plenty of times some know-nothing kid gets on a cycle of Dianabol, puts on about a stone in water then ends up with gyno. The bodybuilding pros have teams working with them when it comes to their, err 'supplements'. There are still side effects, but much time and effort is spent on minimizing them by the use of other substances.out of interest anyone know ho wmany different steriod types there are and witch is "the best"?, there must be a reason that Arny and Mr Olympia havn't die or had their hair fall out whilst symoltaniously losing all their sex drive?

You need to define "best".
Also, doping goes way beyond steroids, although that is a common name that people use, like xerox instead of copymachine.
There are so many different supplements, some legal, some not, and they all have their different effects and purposes.
For instances, some people that partake in endurance sports, such as marathons and them long ass bicycle races, use supplements that suppress the pain signals the body sends, meaning you can ignore your bodies fatigue longer. Other supplements help your body build muscle mass faster. So it all depends on what you want. Do you want endurance? Do you want strength?
