Rebuilding speed/dexterity

[DeathDaily]

So, I broke my right hand about a month ago. Got my cast off today, and came right home and played for an hour and a half (woulda kept goin but I had to go to work). If you couldn't tell from my moniker, I mostly play fast/tech death metal, and man was I disappointed today! Anybody know of some good exercises to get my right hand chops back?

TAKE IT SLOW!!

Grab a metronome and gradually work it up. Too much, too soon will find you in a different kind of cast sooner than you think!

That's too bad for you. You can start slowly by playing some doom metal stuff, like Skepticism or Morgion. Then try some stoner/ doom metal like Cathedral, and gradually building it up until you can play Atheist! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Get well soon.

Thanks, guys! I was playing Lamb of God today and my wrist went to rubber way too quick. I'm gonna try to get on an exercise schedule asap. I actually played with the broken hand for two weeks before I went to the doctor [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] , so I have a little less work to do than I could.

Hey man, I know how it feels. I broke my ankle when I was 14, and after I got my cast off, I couldn't walk for about two weeks. DId your doctor put you on any type of phys. rehab? If not, make sure you don't overdo it and end up straining something. I wouldn't worry so much about the speed for a while and just work on rebuilding your endurance and strength. Good Luck!

Re: Rebuilding speed/dexterity

I injured my left hand three years ago with radial nerve lesion. Now it's working well but with not so control and finger placing like before. Just got a metronome, a teacher, and a doctors advice. Oh, and therapy if it's necesary. Wish you luck, doctor advise always, a metronome and go for it! [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
