Red Meat and lots of it :-)

Red Meat and lots of it :-)

Works three ways.

1. More Iron in the blood
2. Harder Arteries and Veins :-) I know this "technically" is a bad thing and leads to heart disease, but hey, ya only live once :-)
3. Cholesterol!!! Can we say "Padding" for your arteries?

but really folks, iron is a good thing, I went 6 years without bruising do to high iron intake (red meat 4 times a week and iron suplements) broke a hand, 3 toes, and took a bone splinter off my shin on a trailer hitch in the dark without a bruise :-)

but then again, anyone who knows me will say I'm a freak anyways

I dont really welt when I get hit. Only if I get hit in the wrists.

Actually, This is the best tip to reduce welts and brusing.... Run fast to your bunkers, never have more than your head and your gun out unless you're making a move or you're just being crazy.

I've never had a close call. I've even tried bunkering people and I didn't get a close call.

i have seen a couple of guys take hit straight into there "swedish meetballs" and let me tell you that is the first time i've seen a big grown man break down and cry like that, man i feel for the guys who get hit there and i myself have had some close calls but not enough to make me want to use "Renforced armor"

i say suck it up and where a t-shirt or just a jersey or something. first off i don't see why u stopped in the first place just b/c your frineds got electro's and u didn't. 2 weeks ago i was shot in the "boys" and i had to sit out hte last couple of games(about 3) and they hurt the next day, but i don't wanna wear a cup even though i know i should, but oh well to each his own.

Just deal with it. Jeez, you aint gonna die... I got so lit up last weekend, it looked like I had HIV. My roomie saw them and decided he didnt want to try paintball out after all.

[EnderWigginPballin]

i wouldn't wear just a short sleeve shirt, or shorts.

but I play a more woodsball than speedball so i'm trying to keep the assorted ticks, and biting/sucking insects off of me.

I've never actually had a welt on any part of me that was visible with just a short sleeve shirt and shorts on.

and one more thing, wearing thick clothing so you don't welt doesn't work. because if the paint bounces off of all your shirts and 3 pairs of pants, They're just gonna empty half a hopper onto you then ask the ref to make you lose the padding.

Well, I eat red meat about 5 times a day, and still that doesnt seem to help. Does help towards the cause of heart disease.... oh well.

I just wear a jersey and a t-shirt. The bruises are still apparent, but always makes for good casual conversation.

[mutant_zeppo]
