14 year old trying to get 13k (Please help)

Juandan12 · 04-03-2006, 23:21

At the moment my record is 12,734. I'm really desperate to get 13k because my freind at school who doesnt own a powerball and only uses mine in the morning at school has managed it. (13'700) and i dont know how he does it.

Can anyone give me any tips on how they get 13k. Techniques they use or training they do with the powerball.

Thanks

WOW 14 years old and already chasing 13k!! Fair play mate.
I'm 25 and have only just managed my current high score of 12177.

I guess using the powerball for like 30 mins to 1 hr at around 70%-80% of your power (alternating hands obviously), and then resting for 10 mins and then really going for it might help.

Who knows, I guess different techniques work differently for each person so there's really no one method/technique that's a guarantee for everyone.

Good luck though mate!

Someone wrote something about attempting to break a record after having a hot shower. The theory is you are more warmed up and all muscles are looser... I was stuck at 12800 ish for weeks, I couldn't touch it... then one day as I was gettin out the shower, thought I might give it a go, 13123 is my new record. Also just having clean (non greasy) hands helps hugely... Therefore any good warm up and stretching might be just as effective if u wash your hands too.
