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

Anyone ended up having shoulder pain issues, but not anything hands related from playing?

Try not to tense up so much or find a more comfortable position.

When i would relax i would last longer. (ooh Sexual)

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.

I've actually have two years of experience of VSRG's, but some of those points still apply to different players

I've been really sloppy on my stamina training, i don't know exactly what files i should play for stamina, it's funny how in JS getting a SDG in it will most likely still give me burns. so that has been a bad thing for me in harder files, i can do them but my stamina always pulls me down when playing, i was hoping if i pushed myself harder i'd actually end up with good stamina (ps i'm the guy who can 0.9 SDG serious shit but can't pass it on 1.0 due to stamina) :<

[Soul Evans]

No that's not what i meant, i meant the reason why i push myself because my stamina is not good, i end up with burns on files that i can FC - single digit great
and files what i seemingly suppose to ''93-96%'' i always get held down by my stamina so i thought in order to get a good stamina to maintain my performance on these files which i'm suppose to do well is to push myself, the pain part is what bothered my so i've been wondering about people's thoughts on that

I get more elbow pain than wrist pain from this game and have no idea why
My elbows feel cranky after every session

Building stamina is nice and all, but don't rush into it. You don't run a marathon before first building stamina through a 5K, and so on

Have you considered going for 500mil in a day? Seems you're well on your way to building up the necessary stamina! (Also, play songs that are about the same density for most of the way through it.)

Let's not encourage behavior which is encouraging the destruction of Soul Evan's body right now...

When I played from midnight to midnight for the 24 hour gamewhore competition I had severe muscle pains for the following day.

If you haven't been playing this game for very long it is probably having a similar effect because you haven't extensively used those muscles for long periods of time yet. It's possible that over time it will take much longer than an average session of playing to cause muscle pain. Just have to play in moderation and stop when it starts to feel too uncomfortable.

I'll try not to overdo it, but sometimes i just like to push myself in order to achieve well, my goals. i feel like i want to improve and i wanna work hard for it
i'm currently (hopefully true) high D6, and i want D7 so i'm practicing a bunch but my stamina always gets in the way even if i try to play on a daily basis, believe it or not but i have been playing VSRG's two years ago from day 1 have i not stopped from playing at least 1 song a day with the exception of two separate weeks for exam studying, this game is all i have it is all that i am left with it became emotionally tied to me, it might aswell be the very thing keeping me alive (for various reasons) so that being said, i hope i achieve my goals if i just kept practicing
