Give yourself time to recover. In your next sessions, pay more attention to your body when it's telling you to relax: push yourself, then gradually bring yourself down again until you feel like you're not straining, then push again, then relax, etc. It's easier to prevent injury when you can push yourself just a little bit past your limits and then cool down. Figure out what's "comfortable" for you to do in addition to knowing where your limits are, and you should be able to improve more.

Also worth noting: don't take bad sessions as you losing skill either. Bad sessions will happen -- remember that your muscles do need to recover between intense sessions. :V

As soon as anything stops hurting, stop. I'll usually take a 24-hour break after a really intense session. I'm generally too worn out to play well the next day anyhow, although this is a case-by-case thing.

try to relax and let your arms rest by either laying down or resting them on something

you don't realize how important your arms are until they're gone... tough times ahead for you friend

Well you didn't listen to any of the advice afforded to you in your previous thread, so I can't say I expect you to now. But I would say that much of the advice given here is still very applicable, and that you absolutely must take breaks when you feel pain.

it's like you don't understand how muscle growth works

Sanjixcon · 08-3-2016, 03:14 PM

just take a week off, go camping or somethin

**Walrusizer** · 08-3-2016, 03:16 PM

you might think that taking a break will hinder your progress, which it will, but guess what will hinder your progress even more

fucking up your arms

**j-rodd123** · 08-3-2016, 03:26 PM

Ah you're playing SM, there's your problem

**ItsOnlyDanO** · 08-3-2016, 03:36 PM

hey guys I just got shot in the hand

but it's okay i can still play stepmania

Soul Evans · 08-3-2016, 03:52 PM

I know i shouldn't be playing this seriously, but i was just mad that one month of hard practice did nothing for my stamina, it just as i feel useless in aspects of this game and it's been effecting me so much to the point that i just played with anger over something that ridiculous, i don't know why i'm taking this game so seriously but frankly, i just feel like i wanna improve faster than anything else so i don't know how bad my arms would get.

Spenner · 08-3-2016, 04:21 PM

They got real nice artificial arms now, don't sweat it kid.

Soul Evans · 08-3-2016, 04:32 PM

Okay i just took some pain killer for sore muscles, that means i can keep practicing today hopefully

**drizzleRomanceGirl** · 08-3-2016, 04:57 PM

take two days off and rest your arms

**Charu** · 08-3-2016, 05:28 PM

Didn't you read though?

He took some pain pills so he can practice some more today!!!

**Walrusizer** · 08-3-2016, 05:34 PM

has arm pain, risking permanent damage

instead of taking a break like everybody has said, takes pain killer to play even more and fuck his arms up even further

inb4 he can never play again because he fucks his arms up horribly

**j-rodd123** · 08-3-2016, 05:57 PM

good, no one likes a quitter
