3 workouts to drastically improve your paintball game.

Theres a ton of workouts and exercise regiments you can do to help better hone your body for the competitive paintball scene. Here's a few most people don't get around to that can help you drastically if done correctly.

1. Box Jumps- Start at a medium- tall level box. Do 4 sets of 6-8 reps resting 1-1.5 mins in between. This is a great interval workout to get your heartbeat moving and also help with your explosive movements.

2. Goblet jump squats- Get yourself a dumbbell you can easily squat with 30-50 lbs. Hold the weight as pictured, squat and on your way jump up. These are going to help build strength but also your explosive movements.

3. Single leg box squat- The image best describes this one. Do as many reps as you can on each leg, if your competent in these you can add hold some dumbbells to intensify things. This is really going to improve your overall balance which is going to directly relate to being in crotched positions on the paintball field.
   

Good Luck

Constantly pushing the envelope.

Pbrack started making paintball gear in 2010. Our first year we made some pretty basic paintball pants but were lucky enough to have them worn by Pro NPPL team (at the time) Vancouver Vendetta. 2010 was our transition from transforming our clothing company in to a performance gear driven brand.

A lot of people think that you can't improve the paintball pant or why would I spend $150+ on paintball pants when I can buy last years model for half the price. The only argument I have for this is I need a job so keep buying them ;) In all reality you could get away with buying last years pants from a discount super store and still be able to play paintball. I think a lot of times people get held up in buying the newest gear before they focus on what really matters, playing paintball. The most effective way to improve your game hands down is practice, practice, practice. Which in paintball costs a good amount of money.

With that in mind, if your a competitive paintball player and are constantly honing and improving your skills you don't want your gear to hold you back. At Pbrack we are all players, and we strive every day to innovate what currently exists and to give our user the most streamlined carefree playing experience possible. We got a few weird looks and some people called us crazy when we originally brought our Flow pant technology to the market. We have also innovated a new style zipper system that no longer bothers your crotch region while playing. All things brought to our products to allow you to play your best game possible. One thing you should consider when buying your paintball gear is what does that company specialize in? Are they a paint or gun manufacturer selling pants with logos plastered all over them? Or was there meticulous thought in every stitch put in to this product?
