When does your OH hand get tired?

[Steve]

When I started OH I had very little endurance and Icould only do about 20 solves a day before my hand started hurting. Now I can do about 70-80 straight, taking breaks in between for scrambling. I was just curious as to when you guys tend to wear out.

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

About 20...just starting out, too, kinda.

 

[brunson]

I have about 20 great responses to that question, but there are too many kids on the forum. ;-)

It used to be that I could do hundreds without being tired at all. I could do multiple averages of 100 in a day. But now I"m starting to lose my endurance, I think all those solves I did hurt my hand so now I only do like 50-100 solves a day.

 

[Johannes91]

I always get bored before my hand gets tired, so I don't know. But I've done a couple of averages of 200 at least.

I always do like 20 solves. Then practice algs like 50-100 of them.
It takes 2-3 PLL time attacks to be tired. Like right now I just did 2.

well, for me is quite a lot
i do less solves a day


anyway, a way to gain strength in the hand is doing secuential moves
like RURURURURURURU.....
things like that that make the hand get tired
also PLL attacks...

I could probably go a whole day solving 400 cubes one-handed... I havn't really kept count as I don't try to focus on just one event(though I do set aside a specific time slot or number of scrambles for one event when i feel like I need to improve). I don't ever really notice my hand getting tired so much as getting an ache which hapens sometimes when I just cube too much(which means you have to stop cubing for a few hours!). Maybe in the morning I am limited with the number of OH solves I can do but when I am fully warmed up I can probably solve a bunch.

I can solve about 3 average of 12s before i get tired. And the next day I can't do L turns at all. (i use my right hand)

 

[Steve]

I just did an average of 150 in 2 sets of 75 with a small break between and now my hand is burning

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

I don't practice much, my hand hurts at the end of an average of 12, lol.

 

[hdskull]

After the first solve.

I'm just kidding, haha.

It reallly depends on the mood, sometimes if you're in a good mood, the pain goes away.

 

[ExoCorsair]

5 solves. >.>

 

[qqwref]

Well I get tired easily, probably around an average or thereabouts, but the reason is that I deliberately go fast on solves to reach the best times I can. When I just barrel through and do 50+ solves in a row I can definitely complete the solves but my times are 1-2 seconds worse, and it's really worth the break every few solves to shave that time off. For example when I did the real man's average I got an average time of 29 seconds, much worse than I usually do (because I take breaks). But there was no problem actually completing the solves...

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

Two solves, not even kidding.

Then again I don't practice ever and will be forever stuck in the 30sec range.

 

[fanwuq]

OHed all day yesterday. less that 20 solves. Mostly practicing algs.

 

[Lucas Garron]

That reminds me, I did an avg100 OH yesterday. My hand didn't feel any more tired at the end, really. And even if I had a really bad period (or two) in the middle, my solves at the end weren't any worse than the ones in the beginning (I could prove it with a chart)...

 

[Dene]

Never. I win

 

[jackolanternsoup]

Only if I've been OHing the whole day.. And it's not that my right hand gets tired it's that i feel twinges or like I have a cramp in the back of my pinky due to L turns.

 

[signaly]

After about 6 or 7 for me, lol. Also I'm not sure but does it help to have bigger hands for oh because I have fairly small hands?
