    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

            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.

            post-dumps abstractly represent the existential nihilism that the song invokes in the listener with negative space, evoking the ephemeral nature of the mind - the journey of stepmania begins in hope yet soon becomes corroded into a dialectic of futility, leaving only a sense of dread and the unlikelihood of a new synthesis

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

                    is expressing my inability to create a creative signature an act of creativity in and of itself?

                          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.
