Two days ago I almost had a combo (Konami Code) down smooth. Then I did a HIIT workout and now I can’t move my arms. Or walk. Every time I want to practice, I Remember. Time to indulge in pure unadulterated online yoyo browsing. ---

I feel you. One time I hurt my right arm from lifting and couldn’t perform a breakaway for nearly a month without making it worse. I had to throw left handed in the meantime. I hate taking rest days because it feels like I’m not making progress. But recovery is important! Sometimes I have to force myself to remember that. ---

When I first started, I was in the middle of a series of hand surgeries for a finger that didn’t work after an infection. I was really kind to myself during that and only rarely got frustrated when I was inhibited by my finger movement. Now that my finger works I’m way more intense about practicing. Which has resulted in a lot of fast progress. But also a bit of unhealthy obsession lol. It’ll be good for me to rest for a bit. ---

Do you think learning how to throw left handed was worth it? ---

Hiit workouts can be intense but after about a month the soreness wont be nearly as bad. Then you’ll have a sick ■■■■■■■■■ :joy: ---

Nah I didn’t retain any of it lol. It was super obtuse to learn and I didn’t enjoy basically starting from zero with my left hand. ---

I don’t do them very often—I only think there were a couple months in my life when I regularly incorporated them into my routine. So basically they kill me every time!!! ---

see thats your problem, you always have to consider how your actions will impact your ability to yoyo 🤣 i kid obviously but seriously, i used to do commercial electrical work and i swear they make those materials as if they’re TRYING to hurt ppl with all the crazy sharp edges and such. even using gloves most of the time i still ended up with my hands torn up most days of the week. i didn’t yoyo then and i think now how much that would have sucked. i would have been throwing every night with a handful of bandaids ---

I tried yoyoing with a bandaid ONCE and it felt disgusting. Also I’m imagining you looking like Edward Scissorhands. Poor guy wouldn’t stand a chance with a yoyo. ---

i helped someone do some work a few weeks ago and had to throw that night with 3 bandaids plus a couple extra wounds that were in places i couldn’t bandaid them. i could barely feel the string and it made it both extremely difficult and painful lol ---

I use nuskin or in a pinch some super glue to cover a crack or cut on my throw finger. It’s not smart of me but it works ---

talk about makeshift field dressing, i cut a knuckle on a stainless steel wall plate once and could see my bone and i wrapped it in paper towel and electrical tape for a whole day and then glued it to avoid stitches. smart and necessary don’t always row the same boat 🤪 ---

My dad does this kinda stuff. And then there’s me—cut my finger enough to get stitches, took every precaution, and it STILL got infected and ended with 3 surgeries and 10 days in the hospital 🙄 I don’t have the right composition for electrical tape solutions ---

Don’t be like me. I blew a disk in my back in my 20s and took a decade to get it looked at requiring surgery mostly due to waiting so long. Currently hurt my knee and rarely sure it’s bad enough to warrant a dr visit but I’m hobbling about still ignoring it ---

I’m usually pretty proactive, but I’m also kind of ignoring a bad knee right now because it’s not quiiiite miserable enough yet (took a bad fall climbing last year and tore my MCL… guess I probably jacked some more parts up too). Bad knee solidarity, Captain 🫡 ---
