How Fit Are Airsofters?

[BlackRain]

6'5" @ 300 lbs even, smoke like an old chevy with no piston rings but move quicker than guys a 1/3 my age and sneakier then a mouse with a piece of cheese going by a sleeping cat.
Favorite comment about myself.... Where the hell did the fuckin Sasquatch come from!

I could stand to loose a few pounds and quit smoking but over all I can hold my own. I'm far from a fat whale but I'm not exactly skinny joe either...lol.

Hey sorry about forgetting about you Skinny and Smallish dudes! I guess I am more like my Dad than I like to admit. He was a 6'-0" - 250 lb German guy with fingers the size of a Polish sausages. He use to give me the impression that Small Men were fine, but they somehow didn't really count as real men!

I can hear him saying shit like "that little Guy sure is funny, but come on, what kind of Man weighs less that 200 pounds!"

Anyways sorry for missing out on you slightly smaller "less Manly Men" (LOL) I can't fix it now, but feel free to put you responses here anyway.

It's a natural ability for small folk, it's how we escape the big fuckers

I better see someone else a good 20 - 30 feet in the air at one point this summer!

Even though I train in gymnastics and some Xtreme Martial Arts three times a week I would consider myself normal.

If I wasn't so damn lazy I'd probably be an ARMY BOY ...whenever that'll happen.

A wise man (me) once said :

You need to be fit to play airsoft but airsoft does not make you fit!

(I was refering to outside airsoft where you run a lot)

[McKay]

Kinda hard for me to answer that as I'm a fucking twig no matter how hard I work out.
I literally weigh in at 130lbs but I basically do everything in the normal joe selection.

I enjoy long walks on the beach

What the fuck? 155? I had you pegged at 180+!

I'm 215-220@6'3". I aint rambo, though. I could lose some gut, actually 100% quit smoking. Meh. Plenty of time to do that later.

LOL, a wiser man said:
Don't bother running, you'll only die tired.

By the touch of this sword I AM HE MAN!

For those who are old enough to remember the cartoon I applaud you. Especially that phallic testosterone sword of his.

I think that has less to say about my fittness.. than it does about theirs.

Amen to that. I was actually quite shocked at this with myself, really. I'll be 38 in 3 weeks. I don't exercise or work out, don't really watch what I eat (to an extent), I smoke, worked a desk job for the past 12 years, spent 3 years on my ass in college before that. Short of shoveling my driveway in winter and odd yard work in summer, I haven't done any physical labour since my late teens. And I can I've got about an extra 20 lbs I could stand to lose...

Before my first airsoft game, I felt a little intimidated, really, seeing most guys were just over 1/2 my age and looked reasonably fit. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep up with them at all, especially in the hot humid weather with full gear on. Much to my surprise, I not only kept up, but I could lead the pack in some cases. Where these guys were panting and resting, I was still ready to go.

It can't be me. I'm in terrible physical shape, so I've also come to the conclusion that they're just in worse shape than me despite not looking it.

Remember when you were a kid and you watched your Dad do heavy work around the house. Remember how you were amazed at how strong he was?

I call it "man strength". It's that natural, mature muscle power you develop as you push through your 30's and 40's.

It may be more mental than physical, but it still put you out in front.
