you should work both sides of the forearm not just the flexors. the muscles that open your hand are just as important. if all you do is use a squeezy ball youll end up with strong flexors and your extensors will be atrophied

only on the right fist

I tried that before, and my fist does not close right, so my index and middle finger sticks out and took all the weight. Real painful without cushion like thick carpet...

you can do inclined push ups with your closed hands (fists) instead of open hands on the ground to make your wrists stronger

if your wrist hurts its probably the muscles in your forearm causing the soreness. your wrist is all tendons, the muscles cause them to get uneven tension. try massaging the muscles in your forearm

11 Jan 02:03

meat

yeah same, but after about 26 it doesn't work anymore, and I'm forced to spend 2 absolutely unproductive days just recovering... physically unfit-ness probably contributes to that limit as well

Hmm, I notice that "vibrate a lot" thing only when doing digital as well, after long unbroken hours of monitor-staring, and usually preceded by insufficient sleep
