I dont even give a shit about improving anymore but with 14 years of fps experience i find your videos very interesting. Keep uploading pls :)

Nice video, hope you get a lot of views.

thank you :) spent alot of time on this...

Nice video as always. Do you think you could come up with a routine for people suffering from/want to prevent cubital tunnel syndrome? Or elbow pain from resting on the table too much? I think its a less common injury but happens to quite some people as well, considering Faker got it too

[@1HP]

yes we'll put this on the docket, we have a few ideas of things we are doing but want to continue to publish routines

[@AngelTyraelGM]

i can help you with that, usualy bad life style, low amount of exercice, low muscle mass, to much body fat, and most importantly bad eating habits, its crazy how many people dont eat enough protein, and eat a lot of overly processes foods and wonder why their health goes down, also sleep u want 7-8h consistently and it needs to be quality sleep the part of it that ends u kicking into proper recovery, why do i say this? i used to have diabetees and hardcore carpal tunnel where it would hurt to even move my hand, now i can once again play all day, people often come up with bs exercices on this or streches, i wont say they dont help but that is a very very crapy bandaid that doesnt fix the actual issue of very low health in your body, hard for your body to maintain your nerves and general hand recovery, when your whole body is going downhill

[@Gershy13]

Can you do a video on the best normal exercises to do at gym/home for gaming/aiming as well as health in general? For instance do pull ups or push ups help a certain muscle that is beneficial in gaming etc.

[@1HP]

This is a great idea I can definitely work on something like that. I've posted some shorts on exercises gamers can do as "cool-downs" before they leave

[@L0wSkiller]

Make sure to include a variety of stretches 😁 it's a super ez way to relieve that groaning when you wake up and get out of bed / out of the office chair

great video

thank you!! spent alot of time on this haha

when i got addicted to play Osu (6 hours sessions of anime opening gaming), i make breaks to stretching my entire arm and hands (and back), and never got an injure, i literally start when start to got hurt, only stretch save my entire day and i never stoped, today i take some break in work only for that

If I didn't know you, I would've quit when I saw tracking issues related to bad performance in Valorant

[@ryanbrown5141]

I hate you goofy ahh opinion

[@2smartfn552]

No offense meant, but if you think tracking isn't a critical skill in valorant aim, you're inexperienced in aim training/improvement.

[@j5rofficial]

great stuff!

[@Katze822228]

interesting stuff but is there any evidence that suggests more strength actually improves tracking? Mice are light nowadays and for tracking heavy games people usually use a fast mousepad so the force required is minimal. It's all about precision, not strength... And endurance is not an issue either. I can track a target for minutes without needing a break but in most games you only need to track an enemy for a couple of seconds max.

[@1HP]

All of the evidence is anecdotal from our experience working with a bunch of aimers. There is limited research since aim training is relatively new however with what we have seen + our current understanding of the physiology around motor control, we're confident it can be beneficial. we have consistently seen is an improvement in moues control (all aspects of aim) as a result of implementation of regular endurance and coordination exercises

[@KNGBSTY]

@@1HPto add on when I was in peak condition working out everyday I was on top of my aim on not only Kbm but controller to now that I don’t work out often my tracking is lacking on both I’ll be hitting the gym soon and see the results myself

[@backfire8744]

How would you go about balancing these exercises with aim training? One of the things I’ve been trying to avoid the most is overtraining, as certain scenario types can be hard on the rotator cuff and wrist (like you were saying were the common muscles used)

[@1HP]

This is a really good question and I wish there was a simple answer - I'll do my best. You have to listen to your body to understand how you can best integrate it into your life. What I typically recommend is trying to incorporate it 3-4x/week and on those days or even within the first week realize it might temporarily affect your capacity to aim train. But once you build the initial endurance you will be able to handle alot more over a 3-6 week period. It's all about consistency So maybe something like W1 3x/week, play 75% of what you normally do. W2 3x/week, 100% of what you normally do W3 100% W4 Slight increase It won't be linear and there will be some days you feel more sore and just deload in response to that. There are a few more variables to consider but I would start there

[@backfire8744]

@@1HP Thanks, that's very helpful, and it's more than I was expecting! At the end of the day it's all about listening to your body, so I understand why you can't give any hard advice

hey ive been watching your videos for a while on wrist pain and forearm pain and have been wondering if you would have any tips as i cant sit down for more than a few minutes at my desk before feeling pain in my forearms I've tried everything from moving things around to different positions. i think it might be my desk im not sure any kind of help would be appreciated. also really good vid

[@1HP]

Hey Lucasaro, it's hard for me to provide any specific recommendations without really knowing how you are doing. What we have seen is that poor endurance and schedule management is typically the cause of persistent pain so small modifications with ergonomics may not lead to lasting benefits. I would really encourage you to check out our free wrist pain guides 1-hp.org/gaming-wrist-pain Or if you want to try something we recently released that automates alot of what we do in our personal consults you can also check out 1-hp.org/wristwizard/ Let me know if you have questions!

[@WheresDXninjaDX10]

I have a very low friction mousepad paired with a very light weight mouse + a very high sensitivity, and when I track I try to use basically no tension at all. Would this be a bad thing, should I be applying tension to work the muscle group and strengthen it?

[@1HP]

Typically with all of those variables we see increased overall hand and wrist movement as a means of controlling the mouse since the larger joints (elbow / shoulder) would lead to larger movements

[@WheresDXninjaDX10]

@@1HP Okay, would applying tension to control the mouse better while practicing do more harm then good for my hand and wrist? Or would that tension actually be similar to working out the muscles that are used. Because I recently just been trying to avoid any tension in my wrist and hand overall while playing.

[@FortniteOG420]

I have a mouse that is just small enough for me to move it with my palm and with my index and middle finger over the left and right click, I hardly every use my pinky with this mouse and my aim is almost a laser once I get warmed up
