I get migraines if I crack my neck - be careful!

I was only joking, Rammy has made me aware of the dangers of my neck cracking, I was just pulling his leg

Ironically, the only time I have ever had a proper migraine was after overdoing it at the gym on arm/shoulder exercise ...

*looks at his PowerBall*

Had a quick blast.
Can still type without pain, so obviously didn't do it hard enough

Mr.Boss gave me some strange looks while I had my hand under the desk, wiggling and thrashing about with an ugly gurning grimace on my face

Got just over 8600 before the embarassment threshhold was breached.

I'll have a no holds barred attempt at home later on

I wouldn't...........you might make something go 'ping' in your forearm. Build the intensity up slowly over about a week or you may do more harm than good and have to lay off using much it for weeks

If you overstress an area of your body the weakest bit of it is liable to be the first to be further injured.

I think his arm has fallen off, so he can't type anymore

EDIT: Well, it's either that, or he's just been sacked for Gross Indecency

Hehe, it's ok Rammy I'm not being stupid, I did Sports Studies at A-Level so I know what injuries can be sustained through overworking a muscle or joint.

I haven't picked it up since I posted, I've got a dull ache in my lower arm, but nothing different to playing half an hour of basketball.

It takes a bit of practice ..... use the string, then do wide circles, getting smaller as it begins to do it's thing

Yeah.....just keep trying........smoothly does it!

Jon M · 26-05-2005, 16:47

Starting to think that my technique is wrong.. I get up to about 9/10k and there is no resistance left... no matter what I do with my wrist/arm/hand.. it just stays there ... smaller movements, faster movements.. both together.. nothing :/

bmxbandit · 26-05-2005, 16:59

maybe you aren't pulling a funny enough face..

Jules · 26-05-2005, 17:00

I have heard it is all in the wrist action
