Take Breaks :(

Well after playing casually for almost a year(except in May cuz I broke my pc) I decided to grind to 6 digit. I’m pretty close but I have finally sprained my arm/ bicep :(
I knew it would happen eventually and I completely ignored the take breaks advice that I was told on the first day lol (I played 5 hours straight that day) I guess I played too many 2.5 stars. Now I’m in agony. I’m not sure if my playstyle was wonky enough to cause more harm than good but I’ll figure it out. Once I get better I’ll try to hit 6 digits and take it slow

TLDR: take breaks or you’ll regret it

i have drastically reduced pain during sessions being cautious of this stuff, it may help you too:
-am i comfortable with my playstyle? if no then why shouldnt i change it?
-am i holding the pen/mouse correctly?
-am i tapping too hard?
-how much more can i push myself without risking injury?
-is my performance getting worse? if so, should i end the session?

Play with a larger tablet area.

It will reduce the risk of injury

Taking breaks are good and bad at the same time

Good because when you will comeback, you will be fresher than never, and bad because you have to derust and it takes a lot of time

Take care! Remember that your osu playing session doesn't always needs to be butt-clenching hardcore at all times

It still amazes me that there are enough active 7 digits around nowadays to make getting out of 7 digits a challenge. Before, 7 digit took like 3 or 4 hours to get out of, now it takes longer.

Remember when a 50pp play as a 500k was crazy? Yeah, cuz I don’t but would have been an experience to the “Then” and “Now” comparison

if youre spraining your arms on 2 stars then I don't think its the playtime thats causing it lol
