Meet Fletcher - Paintball
bodybuilding is oddly tied to paintball...

Paintball has been a big part of my life.

me rocking the JT Flex 8s
It was my first proper job.
It was a game I loved to play.
It’s always been there for me.
Recently I was pretty bored so I took a look into the beginnings of paintball. i was shocked 😳
Turns out this entire time bodybuilding and paintball have been attached at the hip.
Ever heard the phrase pumping iron?

yeah i guess this is a big deal…
Pumping Iron was largely what brought bodybuilding out of being a stigma.
It brought it to the people.
So the guy who invented pumping iron, made the book on it, was Arnold’s close friend and helped him become the man he is today.
Well he invented paintball 🤷
Who knew it was that close.
Unrelated paintball is a great first job…
So yeah, that’s that.
My unrelated meet Fletcher personal life is really oddly attached to this industry.
Who would have known!
oh and btw… the guy who invented it was called Charles O Gaines 😭
Your Hypertrophy Hero,
Fletcher
