Also due to lack of proper rest and hydration.
<Snipped quote by Sixsmith> Too much training is actually counter productive. Maybe not for tanks like Ivan but for faster characters like mine. Have you ever seen a body builder, they've got all that muscle racked up from the exact kind of training you seen intent on but they would fail horribly in sports like boxing. You know why? Because having all that muscle is actually impeding there body from moving the way it should. They can't extent there arms with sufficient speed and while they might have a massive amount of entrance no one that undergoes that kind of training would be able to swing themselves over a wall or do any sort of intricate climbing maneuvers. That kind of training gives you a lot of power but very little dexterity which is essential to most of the people in PE class at the moment. The characters that could afford to train like that took other classes cause there already that buff.I saw this problem a lot as a Marine. There were plenty of giant muscle-bound meatheads who could barely run a mile. The protein guzzlers would just lift heavy with the sole goal of 'getting big' but their cardiovascular strength would fail as a result of not doing any cardio exercises whatsoever. I believe someone described it to me as the difference between muscle strength - how much a muscle could exert effort towards in one repetition, and muscle endurance - the ability for the muscle to repeatedly conduct an action over and over without tiring and with relatively good speed. EDIT: There also is a such thing as over-training, when you work your body too hard to the point where it goes into this emergency panic mode and begins to eat itself and break itself down in an attempt to keep you alive.
<Snipped quote by harinezumikouken> Nah it's cool. I just had a post typed out all good to go where I eyeballed Marcus' time based off his general fitness and that marine's performance. Posted it anyway because I am a lazy bastard and I do not want to go and redo it :P. ((That is a joke, should you so desire I can edit.))Marine is capitalized, it's a proper noun.
<Snipped quote by harinezumikouken> Wait I just caught this, you get to determine our times?Well, from reading Guess' post, Robert had a bit of difficulty going through some parts of the course. From my personal experience, if someone has THAT much trouble, then it's almost a given that person went over the time limit. Does seem a little unfair though, huh? Hmm... Ah, well it's all in good fun. If anything Esther would just make Robert go again for fuckin' up her name. That, and she doesn't like his face.
<Snipped quote by MULTI_MEDIA_MAN> Oh man that takes me back... A previous character of mine had a ship once called the 'Sic Semper Tyrannosaurus'. Good times were had with that thing.Hilarious. si vis pacem parabellum
<Snipped quote by harinezumikouken> You do not live up to your title.My title? o3o

Boom! Posted. Robert's bad luck returns for some serious play here.Yup, and he's going again for being over 5 minutes. >:3
