Dance Game Ergonomics #4
After thugging out the 38" bars on SMX at home for long enough, I can confidently say that the strange forearm bone stress/pain feeling I was having when only playing SMX was just having zero muscle developed in my forearms-- playing sessions of Pump and SMX back-to-back with the taller height bars just seemed to really stress out my forearms. Once my forearm muscles developed, I seem to no longer get the forearm pain. But the most interesting part is that I don't have any issues with playing DDR! It seems like just playing with SMX and Pump's 38 inch bar makes my arms stronger in general. Whenever I play on the 36 inch bars on an actual DDR machine I don't seem to have any issues with my arms being exhausted etc. My twisting ability feels a lot stronger too, and I feel a lot quicker on DDR after having played a lot of SMX and Pump. I was worried that I would lose muscle strength in specific areas used for DDR, but I guess that fear was unfounded. Just feels like not...
