When you just play and have pain in your fore arms...
 

My arms and hands and fingers everything hurts ouch but you just wanna keep playing which ends up in more pain.... it's a bad habit of mine that i developed,
i wanna know if people like me get this too if so how do you deal with it?

I don't think I've ever actually had pain where it hurts just to touch o_O Perhaps there are some other issues causing that.

My normal training "regime" is to start off with songs at my level, and play progressively harder and harder things throughout the day until I end off songs way above me, like difficulty 75 songs, I just play until I'm sweating and physically can't play more lol. By the end, forearms and fingers are sore and tired, but it isn't extremely painful.

Actually that's the thing xD i played from 1 pm to 7: pm, i don't know if i should stop now xD as for songs that i play, i play any song i can sometimes i can AA sometimes i can FC and maybe SDG, but that's about it, funny how i feel stingy pain in my arms but i just can't stop playing even if it's been 7 and a half hours ;w;

When you feel pain, your body politely tries to tell you to stop playing.

How to stop my body says no but my brain says yes

Re: When you just play and have pain in your fore arms...
 

Improve your brain function so it can comprehend tasks and concepts, I suppose is the only approach now :p

Or just yolo it and go against it :p

Pretty much you're over-doing it

you should always take breaks when playing and not no like 5 minute breaks in a block that thick, you REALLY don't wanna over do it because the constant pain you'll deal with afterwards isn't worth it.

Imagine it getting bad enough that if you went to pick up a 5 pound box, there's a 50% chance you'd drop it

take better care of your self :D

Aaahhhh I remember these days. You make me proud!

Re: When you just play and have pain in your fore arms...
 

Take like a 20 minute break and watch a tv show or a youtube vid or something. Your brain might say yes atm, but your body will thank you down the line.

This post is strictly related to playing Melee, but the tips and stretches apply well here as well. Your body is important, take care of it!

Since you've been doing long, long sessions though I'd recommend avoiding the stretches until your forearms and wrists feel well rested so as to not overexert them.

Hey I have the same problem as you. I think it is just because we are new players (both are profiles were created about a month ago) so it will probably take some time to build up the stamina. I started off playing about a 100 games a day bc of how addicting this game is :) but after a couple weeks my hands hurt pretty bad. I took a few days off and now only play about 25-50 games a day and my hands/forearms feel minimal pain. So yeah pretty much what everyone else said lol take a break or play less games per day. If you play spread maybe try different setups, I'm currently using ZX23 and it feels pretty comfortable to me.

You mean 2 and 3 on the numpad, right? I'm sure you do, but I have this mental image of it being 23 on the regular numbers, and it's hilarious to me.

progressive overload
ss + gomad

Try lifting?

Re: When you just play and have pain in your fore arms...
 

Keep this up and you will end up with tendinitis. You are stretching and causing micro tears in the tendons that reach from your elbow to your hand, which leads to inflammation and compression on the nerves, especially the median nerve.

The only reason i know all this is because i have tendonitis currently and am having to take a break from gaming to let my arms and wrists heal. I also know how hard it is to force yourself to take a break, especially if you are improving well, as i was before this happened to me, but your arms/wrists are more important than your improvement, and no you are not invisible, the more you play through the pain, the more damage you will do.

lol yes 2 and 3 on the numpad. but using 23 on the regular numbers with zx feels like a dog sitting pretty ;)
