So Mr BiG has asked lil ol' moi

Mark

I know many of my countrymen like their Pork n grits a little too much (not in Cali, everyone's waaaay too vain and beautiful), but let's not confuse fat and fit.

There are some fit fat guys, an' some seriously unfit skinny dudes. This would be pball specific training tips, debunking fitness tips, explaining terms and basically just trying to make everyone's game that bit better.

For example; point guys. You know when you're set in your front bunker ready for the runner - or waiting for the snapshot - up on one knee, gun ready, locked. Now you stay in that position for a long time and your leg or your arm starts to ache, then shake, then you can't hold it any more. Same players can do it waaaay longer than others.

Y'all with me on that feeling?

Well that's lactic acid build-up - and you can increase your lactate threshold easily so you can hold that coiled spring position waaaay longer than before. Thass the sorta thing I mean - I'll tell y'all how...

On a more serious note....

An article on basic fitness would be more than welcome. A sensible approach to a fitness with regime applicable to paintball with a pre-tournament warmup routine should be well recieved. I'd listen to ya!

On a less serious note....

Mark T - You's fat boy! You may play 'ball real well but ya still the wrong side of chubby!. Oh, see ya sunday. oh dear, what have I let myself in for?

Note to self - Keep big gob shut.

Go for it then

I see far too many people rely on stamina rather than explosive speed (some great players are so slow over the first 5-10!!!)

And even more that dont concentrate on anything at all!!!!!!

PS - Coran - 5 on 1 drills on sunday - no guessing whos the 1
 
Buying a magazine won't make you fit

That's where you Brits get it wrong - you think wandering down to the newsstand and then carrying a magazine to a bar is training.

Anyway Rancid, I bin told you used to do training drills in your cellar, least until your Splatmaster jammed that one time and the Filipino maid wouldn't play no more...

Peace
