So Mr BiG has asked lil ol' moi

To do a piece on fitness an' training/nutrition for pball. Questions is, do y'all actually want it? Is it gonna be of any use to ya or do none of you take the physcial side of ball - rec or tourney - too seriously?

Lemme know, cos I ain't sure if it's a waste o' TJ's time or not...

Peace

Teej, I'm pretty sure there's a number of serious guys out there that would be interested. In fact, not doing it would kinda be like saying paintball ain't never going to be a real sport, so it ain't worth it.
Personally I'd like to read about the fitness bit, just to find out what I'm doing wrong. The fitness and diet routine I stick to now is the same as the one from my defensive tackle days. So it's about upper body strength, quick short sprints, lots of strength in the legs and all that. Probably not exactly suited to paintball, but it works for me, and I'm too old to do new stuff, I'll probably fall apart.
Oh yeah, no way I'm changing my diet of pastas, white rice and loads of chicken! Oh, and piles of meat too.:D

Do it, my man!

As long as the article discusses the nutritional benefits of Fried Foods and Beer and how these products can, and will improve your game:D

Otherwise, don't bother.

TJ whats your point?

Fried Food and beer is a staple diet!!!

I would like to get fit and healthy and being that I quote Paintball as my sporting event then I need to be fairly good on the food.

Write your article,

Help me out,

Heres a little story for ya

The Rushers are standing in a foyer of our hotel in New Orleans and some interested member of public comes up and starts asking us where we from and what paintball is like.

He than hazards a guess that we have just left college (we arent overweight) and after picking ourselves off the ground we inform him that one is 28, one of us 30 and another 33.

The guy is dumbstruck and then turns to his other, muchly overweight bud, that they are going to go to England as soon as!!!

So fried food and beer a British trait - I thankyou but no!!

Somtimes finding a slim yank is like trying to find a working public phone box in London

See ya

Mark

PS not a bad idea about teh diet thing - if people thought about p'ball between sundays
