View Full Version : Xaverr's Scores
Hi there!, I'm powerballing since 11 months and this are my records: :p
250 Hz (Speed): 13.659
250 Hz (30sec): 6.012 ( I Made it today... :D )
250 Hz (90sec): 15.985
350 Hz (Speed): 11.580 (A few days)
350 Hz (30sec): 5.129
350 Hz (90sec): 13.508
The 90sec. of 250 and 350 Hz I started doing it just a few days..., so I think that it's not to bad.

I think that I can improve my records, I try spinnig clock ant anti clockwise and it's works a lot for me...
Today I picked a P.B. and made 13.250 with out warming up ( just made 3 speed runs because today I have to rest, but it's impossible, it's so addictive):D
Anyway I will put my future scores here...
PS: The hand grips of ironmind (60lbs) works with the powerball?
PS2: What can i do with my blister?, the P.ball don't but it's killing my fingers..., golf gloves works??
PS3: Here is a video of me doing 13.387, is not my best but a nice score for me anyway...

Xaverr= Xavier= Javier :p :D
The golf glove idea might work...I tried using thin cotton gloves and no grip band one time...it solved the blister/pain problem, but it ended up being serious grip training with the low friction..

Today I picked a P.B. and made 13.250 with out warming up
Hi Xaverr, and welcome. Those are some great scores you've got there, and I'm sure we'll see more to come.
Your score of 13,250 before warming up is particularly impressive. When I am having a Powerball session I always do a speed run first, before warming up, because I will usually add anything from 800 to 1,400 revs to that score when I'm completely warmed up. I usually score around 13,300 to 13,500 at first. If you can do 13,250 when cold, then I would expect you to score over 14,000 when you're warmed up!! :eek:
Thanks boths... :)
About your post Adrenalin, you are right, was very nice see that score with my new powerball ( with the old I made 13.180) because I know that I can do more than 13.660 or something near of that al least..., so when my fingers works again, I will make other session.:D
Regards!

You should try doing a 'UPC' on your stronger hand. Then after this you will be ready for your, near, best scores. It's quick (Takes around 5 minutes) and propels you into hot mode faster then you could otherwise.
Note this HAS worked for me but it varies between different people...so try it out. :)
Hi Pete, Tomorrow I will make my First "UPC", I hope that I can improve my record.
Thanks for your advice... :)
Regards!
Javier (Chile)
Hi there, I made my First UPC this afternoon but I didn't improve my score, after I did it, I just made a few runs speed (13.250) then a few in the metal (11.000) and 5166 ( new record 30 seg. metal), after that my fingers were burnt so I had to stop. ( Actually my fingers were not very well before doing my routine, I rest just 1 day)
This were my scores:
30 sec: 5758
60 sec: 10600
90 sec: 15344 with a little help of my left (My first UPC):D
speed: 12440
= 44.142
Regards!

Welcome to the forum, xaverr. Nice scores!
Thanks..., nice records in youtube too. ;)
Regards
Today my golf glove arrived and with out warming I did 11.070 with the metal and 12.990 with the 250Hz, I think that tomorrow with a nice warming I will break some record :D :p
PS: I bought this Glove because I have to wait to much for recovering...
Hi there, I improve a lot this afternoon:D :
250Hz: Run Speed: I did 13.601 ( Second Time I did over 13.6K) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj4Bmf7zck4
350Hz: Run Speed: New Record 11.761 (last 11.580) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsbqZpRAKqY
30 Seconds: New Record 5.280 (Last 5.160 or so) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB1-YZBUgPU
I made a lot of 13.4 and a few 13.5 ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnI0J9VE814 ) with my 250Hz, so I think that very soon I will pass the 13.6 K ( I hope so) :cool: :)
Regards!
Javier;)

Heheh, I don't know, actually you are winning me for 10 rpm :rolleyes:

Armitage
16-09-2007, 16:52

well im 189cm tall and my weight is 95 or so :D
i do not practice any sport (well if you count airsoft or fishing then yes..) :D
heheh, yes I'm older..., I'm smoller too (like 11 cms) and weight like 83 kgs of pure muscle hehe :p ;) (joke)
PS: I'm very complicated with my sessions because until Wednesday, my country is celebrating its anniversary so we are out of house every day..., that's fun but I wan't my sessions too :confused: :D
Regards!
Armitage
17-09-2007, 16:18
aha, so no speed runs today? If not it's ok you'll just do it after the celebrating :cool:
I make a little session of a few minutes :p , just 11.500 with Metal and 13.100 with right and 12.800 with letf...
Let's see on Wednesday...
PS: Pete have a new record and he is just 15 :p :confused: :eek: :(
Regards!
I made a new session before sleep and after warming up, I did:
Regular: 13.050-13.250-13300-13.270-13.450-13.540-13.390-13.300... :)
350: 11.200-11.250-11.180-11.330-11.500...
I think that it's a very nice session for me... :D , let's see on Thursday ( my fingers have blisters)
Javier
Hey, your scores are improving at about the same rate as mine! Maybe we can use each other for motivation to reach 14k! See you there!
Thanks Ian, i hope we can catch the 14k this year... :D
Armitage
19-09-2007, 18:48
xaverr nice session :)
ianb123: well im actually in same stage as you two :d
you know what is strange? One my friend in CZ had 13425 rpm week ago but and after that record he didn't spin it was about a week or so and after that "rest" he did 13819 after that 14145 and after that 14154 ?! he is on Same level as me(or was week ago) and his left hand is weak at speed he cant make more than 10.5k
he had 16305 on 90 sec .. same level as me.. but that day he did 17221 :confused::confused:
how could this be? :eek:
he is spining a month longer than me but with lower intensity.
so If he can do it, than We can do it. So I'll rest for few days and after repairs on my PB's I'll try it aswell ..
well in 90's your top speed doesnt really count... what count is endurance, mybe your faster but hes more enduranceable then you.... try with the eddo technique and dont let the ball loose it speed so like, if you know the sounds and you can pull 12k easily, try speeding up any time the ball reaches 10500
Armitage
19-09-2007, 20:34
read again, he was the exactly same as me, but now he IS damn 485 rpm faster and have 1000 more in 90 sec :confused:
YEESSS !!! :D :D :D I made a new Speed Record... "13.885":D , I'm so happy...
In the morning made a few weight training and then a Powerball session.
First 30 sec. both hands, then with the right...
Then a few 30 sec. with Metal.
After that I started with the run speed (Metal) : 11.280-11.370-11.450-11.360-11.550-11.650-11.300...
Then with the Regular: 12.900(:( I was very dissapointed)-12.890- Then I picked up my new ball and made: 13.653-13.620-13.885:D :cool: :rolleyes: -13.400... now I have to lunch so I have to stop my session...
Anyway I'm so happy with my new record, actually 14k was not to far now...:D ( I didn't record the session this time, so there's no video)
After lunch I will put a few pictures...
Bye!!:D :)
Hi, here is the Picture...:D :p

Congrats on your new record, xaverr! :)
14k is not so far away now. It would probably be a good idea to record any attempts you make from here on out. Your 14k could arrive at any time now. :D
Keep spinning!
Always Powerballing,
Duane Cash
Thanks Duane ;)
Indeed I was recording all my session since a few days but now I had only 20 minutes..., that's why there's no video:o , anyway I'm glad for my record... :D
PS: The strange is that I can't pass the 13k with my Powerballs (are clean) today and when I change of P.B., I made 13.885 :confused: :D (First 13.653-13.614 and then my record)
Javier´
You've overtaken me again! My hands are pretty messed up with blisters right now so I wont be able to powerball for at least 3-4 days. Don't pass 14k before me!!
Hehe, I hope to catch 13.9k very soon, on Sunday I will make a new session and I think that I can improve a little more..., when I made my record I thought that It was like 13.6k, so I was very surprised... :)
keep training... ;)
PS: After many months of training, I improve. No pain, no Gain...:) ;)

xaverr:
Nicely done! the 14 k is matter of time and few tries now :D
Congratulations xaverr!!!:) Now 14k is just a step away..;)
Thanks both..., I hope to improve again soon...:p
PS: Now it's your time to make a new record ;) :)

14K will come with the correct warm up on the correct day when feeling positive and awake. Make sure you know how to get yourself into that perfect hot mode which enables you to reach your perfect scores.
I went from 13.5k to 13.7K to 13.8k to 13.9K to 14K in a week or too so it will come soon. I made a mistake in laying back off my routine once 14K was achieved, this resulted in a record that lasted for over 4 months until I broke it the other day. So when you get the 14K keep going and make sure your consistently getting 14K scores in your hot modes and this will give you a stepping stone in 14.5K (which I'm yet to reach.) :)
Thanks for your advice Pete, now I'm resting a few days... ( I don't have pain or blisters but I think that it's better take a little rest after weeks of hard training)
PS: My girlfriend today made 9.8 k with my golf glove..., she is very close to the top 100 league ladies... :)
Armitage
22-09-2007, 17:26
so how did your session today go? :D
Mmm..., a regular session. I did:
250Hz:
12990-13100-13300-13250-13290.... I can't pass of this scores with my regulars 250Hz , but with one of my new balls I did 13.630, that was a nice score for me... ( the strange is that is very difficult for me pass 13.2K with the others balls)
350Hz:
11.100-11250-11300-11320-11270-11180..., was not an excellent Metal session but it's ok...
PS: I made a new record in 30 sec. with my 250Hz..., I made 6.020 rpm:D (previous record 6014), improve my 350Hz 30 sec too: 5.285 ( +5 rpm :p )
and with my left hand I made 13.025 ( I made 13.192 in March, so was a nice score too)
Javier ;)

22-09-2007, 20:13
nice :D keep it up
I can't wait for Tuesday so I will make a session tomorow in evening :D
I hope I'll break some record :D I rested 4 days.. hope It's enought.
hehe, I always said the same :D , the problem is that I don't feel pain, but I make a little and after a few minutes the blisters and the skin start to go out :D ..., I think that I must have to rest until my skin is complete Ok, not make session if I feel pain...
Let's see tomorrow night what you will do;)
I made a new session today, it was a Regular day for my right hand (just 12.900-13.400), with my left hand I improved a LOT..., I made 13.250-13.300-13.385( new record...//before: 13192),for me that are very nice scores. I made a video of 2 hands too, 13.284 with my left and 13.255 with my right hand.
I will put the video soon... :D Nº 16 in Dual Hand...
PS: What about your session Armitage??;)
PS2: Here is the video of dual Run... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjTJXG8gf9o

28-09-2007, 11:49
nice job with your left :D I don't really know how my left is now because of the PB problem of which i write down here .
my session... ehm i don't own any fast PB in peak state so i can't make even 13 k with the one i got (the other is cracked and it is vibrating a lot) :( so for now I'm just practisig... like yesterday 3 hours nonstop :D. But i have a flue now so I'm not in best shape... i think I'll have to catch up to you guys next month after i get my new balls.
Thanks Armitage..., I hope that you improve on October with some record... ;) Your package will arrive the next week??
Armitage
29-09-2007, 02:20
the stupid post office can't even deliver one stupid package :confused: I hope next week :rolleyes:
Thanks Tigga...
Heheh, maybe on Monday or Tueday, your package will arrive Armitage, just be patient... :D ;)
PS: You don't have any Powerball in your home, just the broken one? :eek: hehe, I remembered when that's happen to me..., it was very frustrated that's why I have 9 P.Ball now.:p
Hi there!!, today I did a new session and was excellent!, almost made a new record:D
I made a few minutes of the first option of Powerball ( rpm x 100), then a few minutes clock and anticlock spinning, then two 30 sec. and finally a few runs speed with my sloweerrr Powerball (It's very difficult pass the 12.8k with that), then I was ready ( best record in that moment: 12.850)
Then I made a few run speed with my Regular Powerballs (Neon and Regular) and I made like 12.900-12.980-12.850, I was a little disappointed but I knew that I make more rpm with my New Powerball, and my records were:p :) :
13.654--13.636--13739:p (First time I did 13.7k)--13.856k--13.856k again--13.380--13433--13.428--13762--13414--13353...
Then I picked up my old powerballs ( the ones that i didn't pass 13k), and a made:
13.178(neon)--13.158(neon)--13315(Regular)--13210(Regular)--13.179(Regular)
Finally I passed the record of my powerball slow (12.9k), improving more than 200rpm (13.109):p :)
Here are the Scores of this session...:p :)

You've got some very nice scores there, xavver. you could get a new record last session you were just unlucky:)
Maybe you'llget a new record next time;)
Thanks ESL, I hope to break my record in the next session... :)
Anyway I think that spinning clock and anticlock helps a lot...
Regards!
Javier:rolleyes:
Armitage
30-09-2007, 20:45
wow thats really nice session and so close to record ;)
next time in good mood you'll do 14 k :D
I decided to buy "a few" powerballs :D some new regulars .d
Thanks Armitage, I hope to catch 14k or 13.9 very soon... :D How many P.balls do you have? 4?, I have 4 new regular Pballs waiting for January so I think that I will not buy for the next few months ( maybe a Siggy:p for the dark shell)
Let's see your score now... ;)
Armitage
01-10-2007, 16:12
now i have 5 balls 3 regulars 1 neon and a metal...:D
it arrived today (the metal and amber pro) im still exploring it:D as i write this i rotate it in my other hand so far only 11081 rpm:rolleyes: 11031 and plently of 10.9 so i think i can get at least to 11,3 today:D but its really something else than plastic. andi have problem with my right hand it seems to have difficulties to hit 13k..:rolleyes: i guess ill train more and it will recover:D.
Congrats for your Metal... :p it's very strange for me because with my left I can make like 13.3k but with the Metal is very difficult to improve from 10.6-10.7 ( If I can make like 13.3 in Plastic, I should make like 11.2 with Metal);)
PS: October 8 is My birthday..., 19 Years old :D :p :cool: , don't forget it :p
New session Today. All the scores were between 13k-13.4k and the best 13.740 :) , I hope to catch 13.9k this weekend...
Next Monday 8, is my Birthday...:p :D !!
Javier
Armitage
04-10-2007, 14:23
still four days left :D you are going to be older than me :D
hey, nice session so close to record... i think this weekend if you make an extra push you can do 14 k :D
strange i came from school and tried one speed with metal and one with plastic... started with plastic 12662 and metal 11276, ill go walk the dogs and after that wash my car as a warm up :D and then I'll try to beat my metal score :D
anyway you can do 14 k i think that jump over 100 rpm is nothing and i had bigger jumps i think you had also so if you really try and with some luck you can do 14 k before your birthday :D
Good Luck! Thumbs Up!
Hi xaverr,:)
I think after a hard session a rest for a day is always welcomed, so i think if you rest for a day or two then i'm sure you'll be able to get a score over 14k.:D
I used this technique a while ago: i was powerballing really hard though i couldn't reach my goal(10k i think) but after a day resting i managed a score about 10.3k.:)
PS:nice scores;)
Thanks Boths...;) , actually I rest more than a day..., I rest like 3 days because my fingers have a few blisters so I can't make a great session with that things...
Anyway, I recommend you to buy a Suregrip or liquid magnesium..., that helps a lot to have dry hands. :)
PS: I don't know why but my score with the Metal are going down..., this week I made like 11.150-11.300, but my Plastic score are improving.
PS2: I Made 13.4k with my Left... :p
Regards!
PS: I don't know why but my score with the Metal are going down..., this week I made like 11.150-11.300, but my Plastic score are improving.
Hi,:) :) :)
That's what's happening to me too.I think this is because your muscels behave differently when using the metal/plastic so these days i've been using the plastic so your arms aren' used to work with the metal.Though i don't know if somebody had on one day good scores on both:confused:
I think that when you do a lot of Plastic session, your muscule and movement are faster, so when you change to the metal, (the technic is different) you make the movements faster than the Rotor is spinning :rolleyes:
New Session today..., I should rest today but I can't wait.:D
After a few minutes of warming and a couple of 30 sec, I made:
With the New Powerball:
13.571--13.224--13.334--13.775--13.555--13.652--13.611--13.711--13.717--13.547--13.850--13.293--13.556--13.550--13.498--13.202
With the old One, I did just 1 try...: 13.393
I was very near to my record, I think that I will try again on Saturday...:rolleyes:
PS: I clean my new Powerball and now it's slower, why that's happen?, I hope that it come back like was before cleaning(After clean and spinning a few minutes at 10k, I just did "13250":( )

05-10-2007, 11:07
Nice scores! With a lil bit of luck you should break your record very soon!
P.S: my res is 1280*1024 and your post doesn't even fit entirely, maybe you should put a space between your scores? (at least one in the middle)
Armitage
05-10-2007, 14:40

hi, how did your session go today?
Today I just made 3-4 runs speed because I was a little busy and I prefer to rest my hand..., the scores were 12.960-13.040-13.080-13.100..., without warming or something like that. Maybe tomorrow I will try. ( this is a week full of test:( in my studys..)
Today I made a quick session, about 15 minutes of warming (reading post:D ), then a few runs with my bad balls and then a few with my new and half new balls. The scores were:
13.370-13.250-13.400-13.220-13370-13425 (New Left record)-13500...
Then I stopped because I have a pain in my arm (when I open the arm, so I can't make the right movements)
Anyway was a nice session considering that my arm was ill...;)
Armitage
11-10-2007, 13:53
nice session :D I hope that I will have session like that soon too :D
Pretty good session xaverr:D Keep it up and soon you'll get a new score;)
Same as you Armitage;)
Thanks..., the proble is my arm. It's still hurting me a lot, I can't open my arm 180° :(, I think that I will rest a few days, that's pain means something.
Armitage
12-10-2007, 13:44
hey, i know exactly what you mean!!! That happend to me few days ago when i was powerballin with the Beast ball(metal). But it looks like i didn't overdo it like you i tried spinning plastic with my arms 180° it helped.
No,on this i disagree with you Armitage:)
xaverr,i think the solution for every pain is resting:D
Armitage
12-10-2007, 15:49
i was spining slowly :rolleyes: and i did it after the metal run when i felt pain i did this for several minutes and the pain was gone :D
Is more than a little pain Armitage, i think that is the tennis elbow..., I must rest this week or I will have several Problems with my amrs in the future sessions...:(
Armitage
13-10-2007, 10:13
hmm, then gl in recovering!
No,on this i disagree with you Armitage:)
xaverr,i think the solution for every pain is resting:D
Good advice, I think a lot of pain is from tendon pain. Autoplus said once that muscles condition very fast compared to tendons. So you have developed this new skill that your tendons aren't quite up to yet. I have a really sore right elbow that is taking ages to get better. It was from weights not powerball but it affects my powerballing. Tendon injuries are way way easier to prevent than to fix.
Thanks..., I agree with you LTFC, I need to rest a few days more..., anyway I feel a litlle lesspain in my arm without powerballing...;)
A few minutes ago, I found the movement that make me the pain. When I put my arm 180º and move my hand like if I was opening a door (left right), my elbow bown make a little crack and I feel the pain..., what Can I do?, any advice?, I put muscles pain creams and I'm not doing weight training or Powerballing... :(
Armitage
14-10-2007, 21:31
Good luck with your recovering ! i hope it wont take too long !
I don't think so Armitage because today I have less pain, I think that muscles cream and with a week or rest, I will be Ok again...;)
Regards!
Hi there..., my elbow is still a little injured, but I did a few runs anyway...:p , without warming, just putting liquid magnesium I did:
13.199--13.210--13.143--13.672--13.204--13.286--13.545--13.355--13.371..., then I stopped because I don't want to give to much work to my elbow. Considering that I didn't warm up, and with a non 100% elbow, 13.672 is very nice for me.
PS: I miss the 30sec. endurance, I think that it's to much for my elbow..., just a few days more( I can't rest more than a few hours, I make little session every day:p :o )
Regards!
Hi xaverr:)
13672 with a not fully-recovered arm and no warm up is very good:D :D :D I bet when you come back 14k won't be a problem for u.:)
Armitage
19-10-2007, 16:07
yeah i agree nice scores:D
Thanks Both:D , I hope so too (catch 14k soon)... The problem is that for me is very difficult not make a session for more than a few hours, today and tomorrow Saturday, I Must rest if I want to recover but is very hard..., this little ball is very addictive:mad: :p I think that I will try to train my left arm:D
Regards!
Javier...
mybe intentionally break your pball and send it for repairs, then youll get new one and have higher scores :D
me and my criminal thoughts.... :rolleyes:
mybe somtimes painkillers help although they reduce energy...
I had a highscore session once I took a pill and powerballed mm... about an hour later I had highscore of 11320 with my techno...
few tries the next day I had the highscore im currently standing at, 11480.. just have a minimum of 5 minutes per day so you wont "forget" the technique and your scores will start falling like mines :( .
Have Fun & Good Luck,
Ron
LOL, indeed you have criminal thoughts :p hehe
I'm so stupid, I made a little session today, and made like 10 run speed with my bad arm. The Lowest was 12.700 and the Higest 13.280. The problem is that my elbow started to hurt again... (sound like a clack when I move my arm) I really really need to rest, or this problem will be cronic:(
PS: Give me force Yoda to put my P.balls far far away!:p
Hi xaverr,:)
I know it's really hard but you have to rest till you've fully recovered because you may have problems later on and never powerball again:eek: (have u thought of that?):)
May the force be with you :p :D :p
I know ESL, I think a lot about it..., never spin my Powerballs again, or make arms exercises...:( :mad:, I will rest all the next week. (My elbow feels a little better because yesterday night I slept with a bandage and put a lot of muscle pain's creams...):) Anyway, I won't make Powerball, don't matter if I feel better (a few days ago I was OK, but pain come very soon after a few full sessions), I will rest a full week:( :)
Regards!
Javier
mybe let it to your mom or somone from your family to hide it and tell them by the specific date never let it out no matter how hard you ask... thats how youll recover without having to worry of finding it... unless youll start a myhem at your house for searching it ;D
Hehehe, it's not necesary..., I understood that the only person who loose with that is me. If I make session with my Powerball, I will be the only affected, so I won't touch it until next weekend...:rolleyes: :)
Regards!
Javier
Armitage
21-10-2007, 17:52
Yeah i hope so, really don't hurt yourself more ;)
LOL, I saw your video of 13.669 again..., nice Poster in background :D
Armitage
22-10-2007, 13:46
yeah, good times :D scores over 13.4 were easy at that time :D
Maybe was the girl in the wall who helped you...:D , do you have a girlfriend?
Armitage
23-10-2007, 16:03
nop :rolleyes:
LOL, probably if you will have one, that poster will die (or maybe you):D ;)
Today I made a few runs speed with both hand...:rolleyes: :) , my elbow es better, not 100% but it's Ok to make a few runs( And I put a elbow protection), I made:
Left Neon: 12.600-12.640-12.700
Right Neon: 12.680-12.800-12.900
Right Regular: 13.275
I think that without warming, just cleaning my hands, 13.275 is a very very nice score. I hope to make a Normal session this weekend :o :)
Regards!
Armitage
24-10-2007, 14:18
Can you just REST? FOR at least a WEEK?...
I rest 4 days... :( , a full week is to much time, now I will rest 3 days more... :D :p
TOday I made just a little session, and it's great because I didn't feel pain after that...
without warming, just run speed....
Left: 12.650
Right: 12.600--12.900--13.197--13.060--13.250--13.330--13.410--13.280...
Metal R: 11.180--11.050-11.260...
i'm very happy because my elbow looks much better, I think I will make a complete session this weekend, with warming and all the correct things ...:)
Regards
Armitage
25-10-2007, 23:15
ehm... nice session but you really should rest :rolleyes:
what will you concentrate on after you heal? on 12 k metal or 14 k plastic? :D
Mm..., I preffer to work with my 250Hz, anyway Metal is a nice way to warm up. Today, without warming, I did with the Metal:
R: 10820--10890-11040-11.250-11.170-11.570-11.260...
L: Best 10.450
With Plastic, just 1 run: 13.100 (I didn't make much noise because was like 1 A.M. in my house...:p )
Let's see the scores of Weekend...:)
PS: Definitely I want to improve my 13.885 to 14k, than 12k with Metal...
Regards!;)

26-10-2007, 09:31
Greta to see the scores coming bac up to form. I'm sure you'll be hitting 14,000 in no time.
Hi there!, today Friday I did a new session... :p
After warming up a few minutes reading some powerballs threads (low speed), I make a 30sec. Metal Run, and I made a new record: 5323:D :p :cool: ,after that I tried with my 250Hz 30 sec., and a new record again: 6.217 (with a neon), then I started with the run Speed...
First, a few run Speed with Metal:
11.300--11.697(less than 100 rpm of my record)--11.476--10885(new Left Hand Record:D )--11.566--11.300--11.250--11.390...
13.561--13.423--13.500--13.405--13.350--13.602--13.477--13.403--13.215--13.169--13.063(Left Hand)--13.285--13.412--13.858(wow!!,just 27rpm less than my actual record)--13.199--13.233--13.394--13.474--13.659--13.473--13.314(Left Hand:D )--13.475--13.591--13.303--13.260--13.311--13.390...
After all that session was pass like 2 hours..., I was exhausted. I'm very happy because looks that my Left hand is improving again, 13.3k is very nice for me, and Improve my 30sec (Metal and Regular) and also did a score very very near to my current record, so now I will rest until next week, so let's see what will happen... :D :p :cool:
PS: Thanks Tstering..., I hope to catch 14k this year, maybe tomorrow I will upload a video, I think that I need more pulsing in my body, almost all the scord I did it just with my wrist and a little of movement (With my left hand I make pulsing to catch 13k+...
Regards to all!!;)
Regards!
Wow:eek: Very good session xaverr.:D Congrats with your scores and lets see 14k not this year but tomorrow;)
Nice session Xaverr, I can be three days between 13.4k top and 14k top so keep up the good work. There is no telling when you might hit a hot streak.
Here is the 14k vid you wanted
14000rpm on the dot 250Hz (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvbYziXAIzI)
Armitage
27-10-2007, 11:32
awesome session xavier :D if you make similar session next time you really might hit 14 k :D
Thanks to all for the comments!;) :D , I hope to catch 13.886 soon..., today I have a little of elbow pain, but just a little..., considering how I was the last week, this is nothing, and I will rest 2-3 days, so I will be OK soon again...
Thanks for the video LTLFTC, but I noted that all your video have the sound change... (comparing with the image):) , anyway thanks a lot!;)
PS: In a few hours more I will upload the video of 13.858, and you will said If I made pulsing...:confused: maybe my technique is to strange..., I put my arm to the top :D
Hi LTLFTC:)
How do you pulse like that :eek: :confused: I only shake my arm.Did you practise on doing that or did came on it's own naturally?:confused:
Video of 13.858 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3JtnN4GvGk
then I did... 13.659
Video of 13.659 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzyDOBd-mfM
I think that my pulsing is really bad, I only move my arm, not my body..., and I think that I have the strenght to do much more..., give my some advice to improve my pulsing please. :D ;)
Regards!
Hi LTLFTC
How do you pulse like that I only shake my arm.Did you practise on doing that or did came on it's own naturally?
Dam hard work:D:D. And I'm still working on it. I need to reduce my movement and focus the energy into the ball more I'm still all over the place
Thanks for the video LTLFTC, but I noted that all your video have the sound change... (comparing with the image):) , anyway thanks a lot!
Some days Youtube the sound is fine more often thatn not though it is out of sync. I don't know if it is because I have background music or not
Hi LTLFTC, I noted when I put music with the same PC that I'm recording (at the same time), the sound will be very bad, that's why I put music from other PC or Radio...
WHat do you think about my pulsing?, I think that it's very bad...
Regards!;)
Today I should rest, so I did just a few runs speed, without warming:
12.800--12.890--12.815--13.070--13.090--13.440--13.290--13.275...
13.440 was with Adrenalin Advice..., with the arm 180° and only doing strengh with the shoulder(pulsing), I think it was a nice little session...:D ;)
I'm training for the tournament that will be in November in my Country( I hope that this time they won't postpone it)
I think that 14k+´is just a matter of time. In March, 12k was like 13k is now, so I just need to keep spinning it and 14k+´will come ...
Regards!
Totally agree with you xaverr;)
Hi LTLFTC, I noted when I put music with the same PC that I'm recording (at the same time), the sound will be very bad, that's why I put music from other PC or Radio...
I'll try that ta
WHat do you think about my pulsing?, I think that it's very bad...Regards!;)
I have found as my technique improves that I am beginning to understand pulsing better. I will try and describe it.
When you just spin your wrist around it is like you are putting energy into the ball for the whole circumference of the wrist rotation. If you want to go faster you have to monster the ball for the whole wrist spin.
Now imagine instead of rotating your wrist, lock it and simply shake it back and forth. As this gets faster you will feel that the ball wants to get away from you. Doing this it is my feeling that rather than inputing energy into the system for the whole circumference you can do it at the end of each push and pull of your shake. I hate to use the word resonate because you are trying to stay just a head of the ball, but thats what it feels like, so I guess pulsing is a good word.
I liken it to riding a bike without your feet strapped to the pedals all you can do is push. If your feet are strapped i you can push on the way down and pull on the way up. Imagine doing this with the powerball. When I do this I feel there is way more potential to go faster without necessarily being stronger. If i'm just rotating my wrist I feel I have to be stronger to go faster and I don't feel like I can.
Now within that technique try and use your whole body to to it.
Imagine throwing a punch.
Stand still lock your shoulders and just punch with your arm. Slow and weak right.
Now lock you hips and throw the punch with your shoulders and arms faster and stronger.
Now through the punch from your hips through your shoulder into your hand
really fast and really powerful.
The other good part about using your core is that the muscles of your arm can be loose. A fast punch isn't tense it is only tense at the impact point. Bruce Lee likened a good punch to a chain with a ball on the end, loose and fast with one hell of an impact.
Try to do this with your powerballing. use your arms and hips and core to shake you hand back and forth and pulse. I find simplyt rocking my hips with no extra effort on my arm will add a huge aount to my score.
Ultimately coordinating all this together will be pulsing.
Having said that I'm only up to 14206. I don't know how much holds true as you get higher.
Hope this makes senses and is helpful:)
Thanks a lot for your full explication:D ;) , I think that I will practise your technique on Wednesday.
Thanks again...;)
PS: Try to make a new video with the advice that I gave you...
Hi there, just a little update.
After warming I made:
350Hz: 11.482--11.331--11.437--11.537
250Hz: 13.481--13.290--13.370--13.269--13.350--13.358--13.372--(DUAL:13.305 L/13.175 R)--13.417--13.321--13.428--13.358--13.409--13.542--13.804--13.606--13.427--13.257--13.245--13.353--13.268--13.305...
13.5k, 13.8k, 13.6k and 11.5k (Metal) were with my new technique..., is like Pako when he did 14.6k with his Screamer..., I improve like 400 rpm after that. When my fingers heal, I will try to improve a little more that technique because 13.8k was not with much difficult...:)
Regards!!

Awesome scores you're getting Xaverr. You definitely have the potential in you to go much higher - just keep up the good work, always looking for ways to better your technique. Good explanation on pulsing by Robert too, sounds right on.
Nice scores xaverr:D I'm sure quite soon a new record will knock your door;) :D
Thanks Both!, I hope that too... even I know that I can made a new record, but when I did 13.8k I went to the kitchen and my brothers started to tell me what they did in halloween and the problems of a concert they went and others problems in a Restaurant..., I was just listening and when I want to start again, I was in a cold mode...:( :p
Regards!
Oh, I'm so glad!!!:D what I said yesterday was true..., that new technique is mucchhhhh better than the last. After a shawer, I did(without warming):
13.060
13.290
13.800
13.692
13.562
13.560
13.615
13.505
That are great scores for me, specially because I didn't warm up, just with dry hands..., tomorrow I will make a full session. I think that tomorrow I can pass 14k!!! :D

02-11-2007, 18:52
Whoa! 13800 without proper warmup is crazy good. 14k is no problem for you dude. :cool:
Lets cross our fingures for tomorrow then;) :D Erm... what's the new technique you use? :confused: (if you don't want you don't have to answer:o )
Lets cross our fingures for tomorrow then;) :D Erm... what's the new technique you use? :confused: (if you don't want you don't have to answer:o )
with my new technique..., is like Pako when he did 14.6k with his Screamer
I suppose that it's like that :

Thanks to all!!, let's cross our fingures for tomorrow lol:p , and you are right RyuKa, my technique is very similar of that video... Pako was my inspiration :p :D

congrats for the scores :D
I didnt understand anything from the video hehe the grip the rotation... nothing :D!

03-11-2007, 12:00
go xaver go!! You can make it :D
Today's session was very nice..., considering that 2 days ago, 13.4k-13.5k was a verrry good score.
After warming up I did:
13.300--13.500--13.600-13.580--13.450--13.720--13.620--13.570--13.560... ( the rest was between 13.4-13.7k):) no New record, but I noted that my arm, my fingers and legs are very tired for the exercises of yesterday, so maybe on Tuesday I will make a new session.
I think that I can do much more. Yesterday when my muscles were warm, I did 13.8k (without Powerball warming, just weight), so on Tuesday, after a weight training and a Powerball warm up, I hope to make at least 13.890
:D :p
Regards!
Armitage
03-11-2007, 22:30
nice session!! i had nice session today myself :D you are very close to 14 k :D GL
Very nice session xaverr:D Don't worry, if you continue like this you'll finally get a new record;)
Nice work Xav, your a just one spin away. My record went from 13.5 to 14.1 in one spin and I still can't tell the difference between 13.7 and 14k. Just hold it that bit longer and think faster.
Nice :D
when I get sessions with records that are close to my highscore I wont give up, try giving 150% of your powers even if it will hurt your hands, no pain no gain :D hope youll get to touch the 14k asap :P
Regards,
Ron
Thanks to all for the nice comments..., it's very confortable read that...:)
Let's see next week..., i know that I can improve a little more, that technique it's much more confortable for me. Thanks Pako!!
PS: Nice Avatar LTLFTC :D
PS2: Next session I will upload some video...
Regards!;)
Hi there, just a little update:
* Now my elbow is 100% OK...
After warming up I did:
13.313--13.353--6.195 (30 sec. L-R hand)--13.312--13.642--13.707--6070 (30 sec. R hand only)--13.481--13.472--13.358--13.717--13.493--13.490--13.459--13.449--13.596--13.429--13.561--13.404--13.507--13.381--13.364--13.332--13.310--13.524--13.597--13.626--13.443--13.588--13.372--13.285..., then I was to tired and a blister appeared in my ring finger..., but after 30 run speed I think that it's normal...:)
I hope to make a new session on Saturday...
PS: It's strange that the other day after a shawer I did 13.8k and now I made just 13.7k... :confused: :rolleyes: , anyway was a nice session...
Regards!;)

A very solid session there. Certainly should build on that.
Nice session xaverr:D And don't worry if you continue like this you'll surely get a new record:)
Armitage
08-11-2007, 15:43
Very nice session i would be happy to hit one 13.4+ :D you did get more than a dozen of them :D
What hand did you use?
Was with my right Hand..., with my Left my best score was 13k
I thought that I can make 14k because the other day I made 13.8k without warming up.
I think that the problem was that I'm a little sick, I can breath well and my body don't feel very well, indeed I didn't went to class today:D
What about your scores Armitage?
PS: I think that I will buy other Hand grip from Ironmind. When I read 60 lbs I thought that It was a lot, now I see that it's not difficult. I can close it like 1 minute without problem..., #1 or #1.5?, Which one will be better...?:rolleyes: , I now that this little things help a lot, because after I make a few reps., my grip and scores improve a few hundreds, let'see what'll happen with a more heavy gripper
Regards!
Just a little update:
After 2 minutes of free Powerballing, I made 30 sec., then:
13.133
13.550
13.569
13.577
13.537
13.588
13.570
13.659
13.462
13.381
The Orange record were with a Powerball a little slow because I cleaned yesterday...
Was a quick session, maybe if I'll make a longer session I will see better scores, it was all in 15-20 min.
I try to not kill myself because I want to recover the blister of my fingers...
Also I'm trying to improve my new technique, because 30 sec. is very difficult with that tech, are a new kind ot muscles, so I'm trying to train more that ones... (triceps shoulder and back I think...:p )
Regards!;)
----edit----
In the night, I made a 30 min. Metal Session. After 2 min. free spinning:
30 sec: 4880--5150--5250--5230...
Run Speed (R): 11.316--11.629--11.687--11.548--11.570--11.416--11.428....
(L): Just 1 try: 10.499... :p

no session on my side :/

12-11-2007, 16:20
Nice little session there, onwards and upwards to 14K now.
Good session xaverr:DThough I think that if you try a longer one you'll get much better scores:D ;)
Thanks to all!!:) , today I try to make a session again, but my fingers were to tired yet, the Metal session of yesterday killed my fingers:D anyway, I did 6.150 in 30 sec. Regular..., best Regular score 13.280
Now I will take a few days off;)

14-11-2007, 13:57
Great session, Xaverr. :cool: I've had a couple good sessions following weight training, but for the most part it makes me too slow.
You may want to try mixing a one handed 30s in with your speed runs here and there, that helps me alot... although theres no telling, we're all built differently.
Armitage
14-11-2007, 15:49
So close :D Next sess you definetely hit 14 k :D
Very nice session xaverr:D 14K is very close;)
Thanks to all for the comments.... ;) , today I didn't make any session (was very difficult, to vicious this little ball)
I will try your advice Installed, a 30 sec. endurance between the speeds, and I Accept the challenge jihmmie :D , let's see who will catch 14k first (Maybe in February we will catch that scores:D :p )
PS: Just 2 weeks more and Summer will start in my school (with 3 months of holidays:cool: :D )

I know how that works, but it just looks funny! Here, the temperature is dropping and we've even got a little bit of snow. :p Not to mention that school is in full force.
Good luck with your next session. :cool:
Same here, except I don't quite know how that works. School's in full swing and the average temperature has dropped about 20 degrees here.
Hopefully though, Javier, we'll be able to catch those scores before the month of February!
20 degrees less??, in my country, the Temperature is around 25°C...
Yesterday I did a 30 min. session ( I was a little tired for the school)
After a few 30 sec. (all around 5950-6000) I did:
Regular:
13.486
13.442
13.350
13.429
13.394
13.332
13.361
Metal:
11.390
11.622
11.597
11.505
11.451

It was a Regular-Bad 250 Hz session, but the Metal score were very nice for me...:)

Great session Xaverr. I usually dont to 30s to start with; I personally prefer a more gradual warmup, with some 30s runs thrown into my speed runs every 5-15 minutes
Thanks for the comment. I like to do 30 sec. endurance, but always after a few minutes of free spinning (and I don't give all my energy in the first 30 sec :D , don't worry...), I hope to catch over 13.8k next week...:)
Regards!
Very nice session xaverr:D And aim for more i'm sure if you can get 13.7k constantly, 14k won't be very difficult;) :D

Way to go mate...at this moment you are an example to follow for me as well. My plastic technique is so bad that my average scores lies around 13300 these days, which is only 1000rpm below my record :o :o .
Regards,

Thanks to the comments.
I think if you spin a little more with your Regular Balls, you will catch better score very soon Force..., the tech with 250Hz and 350Hz are not very similar.

hey Javier,
You may want to try a fast target warm up followed by resting before you make your speed runs...just a suggestion.
Try spinning 3-5 30s with both hands with no break inbetween. Afterwards, rest for a minute or two and clean out the debris from your powerball, put it back together, and try making as many speed runs as you can before your score starts to decline a lot. Take another rest, clean out the debris, and then give it a few more power runs! That's how I did it to break 13.3K, and I've been following/tweaking the warm up ever since (now at 14.0K).
Let me know how it goes!
Armitage
18-11-2007, 20:20
How much force do you put in those 30s runs Jihmmie? About the cleaning when i clean the ball its not that fast as it was before.
I try to put as much into the 30s as I can. I think this forces my arms to warm up quickly (preserving energy) as opposed to gradually (loss of energy).
How do you clean the inside? I just remove dust from the internal wall and wipe off debris that is on the track (bits of support band which have come off), as well as the dust/lint material that may be stuck in the support band's axle holes and blow out (with breath) the dust/lint material around the washer housing. The debris should make it less smooth (slightly lowering the performance) on the tracks and especially in the support band/washers/axle area.
I'll try this Jihmmie. Anyway I use other Powerball for warming, so it's not necessary for me to clean it in middle of the session (I entered in a cold mode). 3 30 sec. endurance,rest a little, after that a few run speed until be dead, then another break and finally try to make a new record...,let see next week what'll happen...:)
PS: Today I had to rest, but I try to make just a few run speed after a shower, with out warming:p :
12.809
12.750
12.850
12.950
---- Then I change to my best Powerball----
13.450
13.290
13.550
13.590..., then I stopped or my hand will be useless for next week session.
Regards!
Armitage
18-11-2007, 22:15
hmm, I do pretty same thing as you but not so often as you. I do this "big" cleaning every 3-4 sessions. Depends on a ball. For the track cleaning i use cotton applicator with some medical alcohol (the alcohol cleans all the dirt and debris and it instantly dries out). Well the ball is so clean after my cleaning that it takes some time to run in again (the performance is much lower)
Really? I usually use the inside of my cotton shirt or some paper-towel (napkins, serviettes, hand towel, etc).
Armitage
18-11-2007, 23:13
I've learned that from the people in distributor company of powerballs in Czech. They clean them like that. :o
Alcohol swabs will dissolve any grease or bacteria. There isn't need to disinfect the tracks, but getting rid of the grease is a good idea! In that respect, it should speed up though with increased friction shouldn't it? How and how often do you clean your support band/washers?
I don't use alcohol anymore, it takes to much time to recover the speed of my balls again. I usually clean them every 10 days or so. It's not neccesary clean them every day, why you do that??? :confused: , if you do that, when your balls will be in a high speed???:rolleyes: I just clean them when I noted that are doing more noise, when I knew that I have used them a lot, or when I see dust in the shell...
Regards!
Really? I've been cleaning them practically with every session (Sometimes more than once) and I've been hitting new records with almost every session in the last 3 weeks:confused:
[Sometimes I think the debris-free tracks in combination with the amount of time I rest when cleaning is the reason for the scores]
I clean my powerballs when i see they've become VERY dirty i.e. once a month:p :D
with the amount of time I rest when cleaning is the reason for the scores]
Indeed when I rest to much, I enter in a cold mode, so I don't think I will clean them in middle of a session, I rest just spinning very slow, or spinning the other hand, but never in a chair, fixing the powerball...:)
Hi there, I think that I'm a little stupid with Powerball..., it's so addictive for me that I can't rest even 1 day!!, I make session almost every day. I think it's because I see every day this forum, and always are nice session to read(I want to make session after that), so Today I have a session of 1 hour and 20 minute...
I made 5 times: 30 sec: 5750--5890--5850--5500-5350 (like Jihmmie said)
then the score were:
13.315
13.402
13.186
13.501
13.616
13.504
13.466
13.672
13.641
13.368
13.380
13.410
13.405
13.378
13.487
13.482
13.401
13.550
13.250...
I know that if I don't rest my muscles, I'll never improve my scores. I hope to catch 13.8k again soon...
PS: It's very frustrating, a few days ago, I made 13.8k-13.6k, with out much problem (without warming), but that magnific technique flew away now...:(

I know what you mean. I suck at resting as well. I'm trying to steel myself to take a week off and let my hands and arms recover but it is so dam hard. My session last nights should be good incentive though it really sucked.
Haha, Javier,
Those look like my scores from my session last night! I think we are just looking at rest as the big issue...which you have already address is a darn hard thing to achieve with this crazy addiction...

Hi there, I think that I'm a little stupid with Powerball..., it's so addictive for me that I can't rest even 1 day!!, I make session almost every day....
I know exactly how you feel. In my first 3 months with the Powerball, I had a session almost every day...except Sunday.
The daily sessions help me improve quickly for awhile, but soon scores really started to "level off" somewhat. My fingers were getting worn, never really having a good opportunity to heal much from the previous session.
As much as I like to Powerball, I finally found a good incentive to rest at least a few days. Just before I hit my first 15k score, I found that I was experiencing even better improvements when I actually rested at least a few days from a heavy Powerballing session. I started to see the real value of rest. Rest actually helped me to rejuvenate enough to push a little harder in the next session.
Currently, however, I have found myself again in a bit of a rut when when it comes to my 250Hz scores. Recent obligations with work and school are placing me into more of a maintenance phase with only one session per week. I still get many 15k+ scores during the session, but my scores have not exactly been improving in great leaps lately.
Hopefully, I will be able to go back to a 3 or 4 session/week routine again soon. I just finished a rather tough term at school, and I hoping for a bit more my time to be freed up soon for more intense Powerballing! :)
Never underestimate the power of a single day of rest. Certainly the Powerball is something you want to do every day, but that rest can actually do wonders for your scores.
Go for 14k! :)
Always Powerballing,
Duane Cash
Thanks to all for the comments, I really appreciate...
I know that I can improve a little more if I rest my muscles and hands, and after reading this post..., I'll put my Powerballs away for at least 2 days. Today I didn't make a session, so I need just one day more...:p :D
PS: I hope that you can make more session soon Duane, just 1 per week for a person like you it's not tu much...:) ( I think that you are one of the person who really loves doing Powerball)

You are quite right, xaverr. I have been itching to fit in some more sessions during the week. Work, school, family, and church have been filling up so much of my time recently.
I will get back into more sessions per week soon. Even with one session per week, I am glad that I have seen improvement at least in my Metal scores. :)
Always Powerballing,

Hi Xaverr,
I have the Signature run video on my computer hard drive. I will put it up on youtube sometime around my next session if you are interested in seeing it. Perhaps I will attempt a better Signature run record on my next session. ;)
I am studying Information Technology (Management of Information Systems) in school.
Always Powerballing,
Duane Cash
It will be great see the Siggy flashing white at 15k :D
Information Technology ??, nice..., I'll study business next year, the next week is the last one in my school, I'll graduate...:) :o

S**t, I press the buttom to go back..., all again:rolleyes: :)
First of all, today I should rest, but after cleaning all my Powerballs, I decided to make a Session. My last session was Monday afternoon, so now, Wednesday afternoon, have passed 2 days...:D :p
After a few run speed in cold (12.8--12.9--13.1), I made a few 30 sec:

Then a few runs speed with my Blue Light (I cleaned it today)
13.584
13.362
13.512
Then with a regular:
13.656
13.343

13.532
13.651
13.470
13.487
13.349

After all this session, I was dead, it's very hard to writte this post indeed...:p
I'm very happy with that score, and for passing 3 time my record: 2 times at 30 sec. and 1 in the Metal...:D :cool:
Last session the best was like 13.670, now my best was 13.737, I hope to catch some 13.8k next session...
Here some videos: :D

Wow Javier! I guess it does all come down to rest. Too bad you didn't get a need plastic speed record--although I can see why... Another 2 days now? I haven't powerballed since Monday night, I will probably wait another 2 days or more as I don't feel 100% yet.
Nice 30's action there. Are they dual hand gripper or one hand??
PS don't answer that i just watched the video
Thanks both!!, I think that I can make a little more in 30 sec..., I didn't make a endurance since a lot of time, so the last 6 sec, are very difficult for me, so I'll work on that the next few session...
PS: Do you think Jihmmie that I need more days for rest?, I think that after the last session, I will need until Saturday or Sunday, it was a really intense session for me. I want to see some 13.9k there!, 1 year of constant spinning and not 14k yet?, I'll give up...:) :o

not sure if this is a good idea or not,but what i have tried doing is after a session do loads of push ups,untill you can barely do one. that way you can feel the muscles ache over the next few days,when the aching is gone then surely the muscles in your forearm will be fully rested?
nice scores its amazing with such endurance my arm is too tired after a 30s run
13.8k should come soon i expect
Thanks for the comments... :)
Mmm..., I don't thing so. In my case when I stop doing the powerball session, is because my fingers are completely dead, so a pull up will be imposible...:D My problem is not my muscles, I thing that I have a very nice endurance with that (for the Weight lifting), so the problem are my hands... (Was a session of 2 hours and 20 minutes, now are full of blisters and little muscles of fingers pain)
Regards!!
Wow Javier,
If you are pushing your hands THAT harshly, a few extra days of rest is definitely good...afterwards, maybe see if you can find some good gloves (golf, football/soccer/rugby, raquet sports, etc)...that way you can put that energy 100% into the gyro rather than losing 20-30% into pulling back dead fingers which are full of blisters?
Wish you luck!
Very nice session xaverr and congrats for the scores:D You had a nice hot mode though i think if you had a rest that day today you'd get even better scores;) :D
Hi there!, thanks for the comments...:)
Jihmmie..., you didn't see my videos eh?:p , the new Metal Score was with a golf glove, it help me a lot when my fingers started to hurt (I use liquid magnesium too)
My blisters are 99% recovered, so tomorrow Saturday I will make a New session, after a little warm up with light weight lifting (like Installed said)
I'll be glad If I see a 13.8k tomorrow...
PS: I agree with LTLFTC about your video Jihmmie..., when you improve your pulsing(shoulder), 14k+ will come...:o :D ;) (wait for me please!!):D
Regards my friends!!;)
Ah, haven't seen the video yet but will have to make time to do so. You use magnesium AND gloves?
I'm not sure about pulsing-shoulder techniques yet, haven't ever explored anything like it yet...
I'll wait for your 14K, but no guarantees!
lol, 1 minute is not much time Jihmmie...:p, I use liquid magnesium when I'm not using gloves, when my fingers are more tired, I use the glove...
Let see what'll happen tomorrow, now I'll sleep, Im very tired..., next week are the last days of school, I'll enter to the university!!:o :eek: :rolleyes: (I'm a little sad with that, much remembers)
Regards!!
Had anther session tonight, no luck. Didn't do a proper session (other things on my mind/things to do/things happening), but I walked away with 13.5K Max, minimum of 11.9K, and mostly hit around 12.4K. It was probably a combination between too much rest and being too busy with other things...
Hi there, today's sessin was Ok but the last one was better..., now I improve a little more: 13.739 (on Wednesay like 13.735 :p ), but on Wed., 13.6k was more constant...
Today was a 2 hours session:
Regular: First 3 without warm up, 13.4k was a great score, but I didn’t improve to much…
13.405 (I thought that 13.9 will be easy..., in my case I never improve too much between cold and hot mode, just like 500-600 rpm:confused: :o )

You definitely are gradually improving, Xaverr. Those arent really bad sessions at all.
By the way, I don't usually warm up with weights, it just happened to work for me that time, you should try some different types of warmups from day-to-day. Have you tried warming up with plastic endurance only? There have been times where I absolutely killed myself on endurance then made a speed record afterwards... although not all that often. How about starting with 1 minute endurance on each hand at low speeds for at least 15 minutes, where you feel plenty of burn but dont completely wear yourself out. Then start working yourself up to some 30s runs, and ultimately a speed session.
Thanks for the comments...
Actually I try weight training (just with very light weight, for not overtraining the muscles), then a few minutes of low speed, then a few 30 sec. and then the speed, just like you post, but yesterday I tryed a new type...:D ;) (thanks anyway)
Regards!

you are having constant 13.4+ scores lots of them every session :D
i would be happy for just one :D
Keep this up! :cool:
Thanks Tim, buy now that I improve a little more my tech, I want better scores, 13.8 will come soon again...:D
PS: I bought a Techno and a Screamer yesterday...:p :rolleyes: :cool: :D

Hey Javier,
I hit a 13.9 yesterday. So far to date I've only ever hit 13.9 twice and 14.0 once, though I have a handful of 13.6s and 13.4 I cannot remember ever hitting a 13.7 or 13.8...weird.
I really want some 13.886+. I'm training a lot for that. Saturday'll be my next session...
My 2 Powerballs, my 2 Handgrips (N°1-1.5) and a pedometer, are travelling to Chile now... :)
Regards!!
Chile? What are you doing in Chile? Out of curiosity, what's the altitude change?
What I'm doing in Chile?? :D , here I live Jihmmie..., and it's a nice country (a lot of peple think that CHili is just the food:rolleyes: )hehe, what do you mean with the altitude?, I'm in ocean's level...
PS: I want to make a session tomorrow,but i'm a little nervious, on Monday and Tuesday I have test (is a test for all the students that go out of school, and if you have a nice mark in those test, you can choose better university...., I don't know if you have those test in your country, is a test for all the students of the Country: The PSU, in english: "UST" University selected test...:o )

wow thats a score with neon :D i thought neons were at lest 1% slower than regulars (1-5%) which means you could have smashed your record. I don't get it. nvm. Awesome scores in all session!!! way to go!!!
Edit1: btw. thans for the tip i will order the N°1 next week
Thanks!!, I hope to break a new record soon... (like all of us I think:D )
I know that the Nº1 for you will be ok ;)

Congrats on your new record Javier! I gotta start picking up the pace or you'll soon "run over me" (was this a polish expression or was it a different language?).:D
P.S. Do you have any videos yet? When I made my 14055 I scrambled afterwards to make a video f the 98%...make sure you have videos ready!!!

Great session there. 14K is SOOO close now.
You need to reduce the size of those images though. They are FAR to big.
Thanks!!!!, I'm so happy with that new record, I know that I'll catch 14k this summer..., hhehe, I hope that you pick up the pace too Jihmmie,to compete again.:p ( I lost anyway, you catch 14k first), and I don't have a video yet, the cable of my notebook is dead, so the battery turned of..., and the cell phone have no battery too, so I just picked a picture...:D
LOL, both of you posted very quick. After I saw the images, I edit the pictures in 3 minutes, and both of you have posted... :D
Many congratulations again xaverr:D Agree with Tstering 14k is very close so don't let us wait ;) :D
Hehe, thanks ESL, About 14k..., I hope so too :D
Regards!

Thanks Tim..., what about your scores??:)
Well done. Honestly I can't tell the difference between 14.1 and 13.8. So it could be just one spin away. Go for it!!!!

Thanks Tim..., what about your scores??:)
rubish as always, doesnt mean i will stop :D
That's the spirit Armitage;) Try out those UPCs, they really helped me;) :D
Yeah, I agree with you ESL, over 13k and just a few months, are nice scores...:)
Armitage
06-12-2007, 20:55
don't say its nice :D it's just not enought!! i was over 13 k after 3 weeks (13.3)
Yes, but a lot of people have the same problem of you (I made 13.2k 5 weeks after start, and then I was a few months catching 12k to 12.9k), soon your arm and muscles will be ready to make 13.5k in each session...
Regards!!

What strikes me is that your current plastic scores are higher than mine, while my current metal scores are higher than yours.
How can this be explained?

Hi:D
Force, the technique of the metal is quite different from the plastic.:)
So maybe you're better with the metal and xaverr with the plastic:)

Hi:D

Funny, my technique with the Metal and Plastic is pretty much the same.
In my case they are quite different;)

I also think that in my case they are the same.
For some reason I am able to apply more torque at lower revs, but I am not able to reach the required pulsation speed at higher revs.

Funny, my technique with the Metal and Plastic is pretty much the same.
Same, I often do dual runs with a metal and a plastic. It feels to me as thought they are doing the same rate but the plastic will be 13.xk and the metal 11.xk so obviously they aren't
In my case, I use the same force and tech. For me, 11.660 Metal, are 13.660 with Plastic, and they are very similar... (for example: best Metal score in a session: 11.700, best Plastic score: 13.800..., just a few revs of difference:) ) Anyway, a few weeks before, the history was very different. Metal score were a lot under the Plastic.

when i did my three 12 k spins in same session i did only 13.2 plastic
When i was in form i could easily get 13.5k in plastic but only 10.5k in metal.:o For me, is impossible to mix up metal and plastic in a session.:o Now I can only have a full-metal session or a full-plastic session:)
No..., I can mix both of them. Anyway, I use a glove sometimes, because if my fingers starts to feel pain for the metal, the Plastic scores will go down, so a good glove to protect them is ok...;)
DIc. 9 will be my next session..., today was my graduation.:D
Today I made a session of 90 min.
After a little of light weight lifting, I did 13.150
Then a few 30 sec:
6.298 (Record)
6.354 (New record!!:D )
6.265
Regular:(the slow one)
13.662 (New record with my slow Powerball..., the one I use to warm up)
13.563
13.456
13.443
13.585
13.431
13.399
Neon:
13.429
13.404
13.346
Metal:
11.750 (-40 rpm than my record):D
11.643
11.715
11.658
Regular:
13.334
13.380
I think that was a nice beggin, but when I want to use my Fast Powerball, my fingers were a little tired, and the Wounds of them started to hurt... I think that my Powerballs need a little fix too, I didn't clean them since 3 weeks :D :p (Anyway, the worst score was like 13.350, that is not to bad for me:) )
