Seems like a great option! Increasing load capability is a good way to reduce injury risks. However non specific exercises can also help, not to mention sleep, diet, hydration, stress etc. I can get some elbow pain when I’m grinding cs, especially if I’m stressed at work too
Wrist injury is absolutely not something to be taken lightly. It's easy to avoid, hard to get rid of. So take precautions while you're healty. Have tendonitis for 3 years (without even gaming) possibly due to bad shoulder positioning and using too much wrist. I somehow don't have any pain anymore even when I game all day but my wrist is very weak to the point I can't hold a phone comforably a few minutes. I have a hard time lifting objects with my right hand. And of course, I can't work out my upper body anymore. Not even the doctor I saw knew what to do with it. The worst part is that tendons are much harder to heal/strengthen compared to muscles so It will probably take months or a year to fix once I'll get a physiotherapist who knows his stuff.
I know your frustration brother. I am having another go now, at rehabilitating a 13 year old injury. Don't give up looking for a good physio, they are out there but they can be hard to find. Good luck man, stay strong.
Great and informative video to make gamers aware of some injuries/pain they could get over time if they don't pay too much attention. Interesting exercise and not only for gamers ! 👍
Thanks Oli, I used to do this a long time ago when I was boxing, at that time it was in an attempt to protect my hands from the impact. Its a really good exercise if you give it a chance 😁
I guess dough goes off over time? I suspect rice is more consistent, less maintenance etc Rice also has physical resistance, give it a try and you'll see 😁
This could actually be an incredible exercise for me and with downhill mountain biking hobby - I have terrible hand pain issues after long sessions due to the excessive vibration that my hands endure in the tough terrain hand have already done all the optimizations on my bike that I could possibly do in order to minimize said vibrations, but this might just be able to help me build up those much-needed muscles well enough. Thank you so much for making this video, I will come back to you if I end up doing this!
Hey Jakeu, I plan to follow up with some other exercises targeted at adding depth/padding to our hands, building strength in our wrists etc. I do think this rice bucket exercise would work well as part of a routine for you though. I need to do a few weeks/months of testing on myself first, but I'll fire another video out with some other exercises for this, that I hope will help you further - with a more balanced/targeted routine. Many of the exercises I plan to investigate are recommended in the comments section, from fellow gamers (awesome community), and others I have found on arm wrestling YT channels 🤣
Hey Struth, I guess it's possible, but I've never seen anyone do it. I'd be concerned about the angle I'd need to position my shoulders in to get both hands/arms into the same bucket, also when youre extending your fingers your hands take up a fair chunk of space The rest between sets is also a factor for sure
Honestly, fantastic video Log! As someone who has injured their shoulder a few times and broke their collarbone, I have never heard about this exercise but gonna check this out since they still give me trouble every now and then. Appreciate the different type of content and gotta say, love the younger boxer Log 🔥
Great video! There are so many gamers that are uneducated about wrist/arm/shoulder health. In the ARPG genre it's not uncommon that players blame their injuries on the game or the balance decisions of the devs because they make them click so much. This is absolutely absurd to me now but a few years ago I used to be one of them and I always got RSI from playing too much. When I got into fps games and aim training a couple years ago I started looking more into wrist health. I looked up posture guides, started doing hand streches and using a gyro ball. Since then I haven't had wrist problems anymore. Also learning how to aim smoothly, without unnecessary tension and switching to a light ergo mouse and low resistance mousepad may have helped too. I did not know about the rice bucket workout yet, it looks interesting. Thanks for sharing!
You could couple this with the wrist flick manuever as well, though I've heard the wrist flick exercises make you go blind if you do it too much. Interesting video Log!
@@LogPile444 Oh thats true, it doesnt really work out your fingers, but I definitely feel it work my forearms and wrists, but again maybe i feel it in my forearms because i just have noodle arms 😭
@cosmo8771 I really enjoy my gyro ball, it gives a good deep burn if you use it well (noodle arms or not 😅), I got mine from steuth gamings store, it has a light that comes on when you get it going fast enough, and it makes my room look lile a disco 🤣
Most of gamers doesnt know hand problems are serious thanks for video dude.
Thanks for being here Trilecebey 🙏
@@LogPile444 anytime ❤️

Great advice there 👍 👌 sleep, stress, diet and hydration play a huge role in this too.

@@LogPile444 Yeah, I will def try it 👍
bro you are SHREDDED
🤣 it's been a while since anyones said that brother 🤣🤣
Wouldn't some form of dough be better as it has physical resistance? I am confused as to why specifically rice.
I guess dough goes off over time? I suspect rice is more consistent, less maintenance etc
Rice also has physical resistance, give it a try and you'll see 😁
Nice one Log. You might develop a whole new audience subset from this😂
Thanks Flux, I've definitely seen some new names in the comments section this time!
with love from Russia, great video, thank you
Thank you Jonjujek 🙏
Bro's ripped 🤤
💪
That reminds me, I'm out of rice.
Hahahahahaa
jaja

Thoughts on training both arms at once to save time? Or do you alternate so each arm has some time to recover between sets?

This is apparently how bodybuilders get huge popeye forearms, it does work
19 year old log was a Beast! Great video as always.
Thanks Trolle 🤣🫡👌👍
0:49 BROOOO you're so cool!💪Very interesting exercise, it will 100% help most people improve their mouse control faster
Haha those were good time brother 💪🫶 I love the feeling of muscle fatigue too, I guess I'm a glutton for punishment with these targeted exercises
I don't even game anymore but I might just do this to get bigger forearms, cheers!
That's definitely a fun part of this exercise too!
someone wanted to show their guns off
busted 🫡🤣
Arm wrestlers use this training, also can be used with sand instead of rice
I think I'd prefer rice over sand personally, as I suspect sand will get stuck to me during my sets, but rice is easy to manage in that sense
yo, you use to box or you still training?
I boxed until I tore my rotator cuffs (that was 12 years ago). I'm hoping to get back in the gym again if I can rehab my shoulders. Do you train?

Thanks Volta, I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😁 keep me posted how you get on with it, if you do give it a go - I hope it helps 🫡

It's funny how these things catch up with us, isn't it 😅 It's great you managed to fix your issues 🫡

I'll have to look in to the exercise you mention for flicks! do you have a link? thanks thunder ⛈️ 🫡
on 2nd thoughts, having just realised what exercise you're referring to, I'm happy for you not to send me the link 🤣
Great video, tip for shoulders, try hanging from time to time.
I plan to put a pull up bar in my garden at some point, will definitely hang when thats in place 🫡
Amazing video. You've convinced me to try this.
Rice bucket gang
The video was worth it 🫡 Let me know how you get on 🤙
Will do 🫡
I recently bought a gyro ball, also works out your forearms and wrists, what do you think about gyroscope balls as an exercise for gamers?
I have one of those too! Great fun, good exercise too, I would say it's potentially less targeted at fingers, more so at wrist, would you agree?
@@LogPile444 Oh thats true, it doesnt really work out your fingers, but I definitely feel it work my forearms and wrists, but again maybe i feel it in my forearms because i just have noodle arms 😭
