Don't worry, I'm not over-doing it with the Metal...just a small amount of use is painful enough! I've only done three 90s runs and about 20 top speed runs in the week I've had it...less than I would do in one evening with a regular Powerball, yet still it hurts. I think it's probably because it's that much bigger...the grip is different. (Might put the rotor in a regular Powerball case some time to see what I can manage.)

As for your new record The Force, perhaps it was the sleeveless tee-shirt that helped...tends to be what Akis wears! I don't have one, but now my arms are a bit bigger than they used to be, (thanks to the Powerball), perhaps I should get one and see if I can break my record soon!

damn! I will REST as much as I can and re-start my extreme endurance training. I like it more than speed runs. I MUST recover 2nd place and hunt for Akis.

I also start to enjoy the Metal, but will have to be very careful, my weak fingers r driving me crazy

Hi there and thanks for the warm welcome!

I've been following the Gyrotek league for a while now and decided to join the forum as it seems to be as friendly as the powerballs.com forum.

Sorry about my 90-sec submission, Pako. You're still legendary, and wil always be. You've been immensely stimulating for me to keep on trying and I have the utmost respect for your performance. I hope you will enjoy the friendly competition that has emerged. I've been working hard om my left-handed endurance. I figure that if you do the same, you'll hit 18.5k and possibly pass 19k before I do. I know it's not encouraging to train something you're not good at (i.e. left-handed endurance), but in the end it'll help you a lot.

Good luck and kind regards,
Dennis

Welcome to the gyrotek forum Dennis

Nice 90s score, mine was an Ed tech score, which is actually 2nd on the top strength scoreboard, nothing comparable then...

But nevertheless one day or another I ll train my endurance again to increase my scores in non ed tech maybe...

How much do you train in a week for such a good progress of your scores? and how do you train?

Hi Manudo, nice to see you here too!

Well, Obiw4n, I've been Rock Climbing for three-and-a-half years now. I think that has helped me a lot to rocket up the Score Boards. Don't know for how long I will be able to maintain this momentum; aiming for 15k of course (who isn't, eh?). I train 2 to 3 times a week between 2 climbing sessions each week. Try to get my rest as well, because I think that is one of the keys to success. It's hard to lay down the little orbs, but I've found a way to resist their calls (by putting them away in the cabinet).

For the rest, I'm still exploring many different techniques. I don't know if you've followed the powerballs.com website, but many submission of mine were done with totally different techniques. I now have found one with which I might be able to break the 250Hz barrier. We'll see in the next couple of weeks (months?).

Good luck guys (and girls of course)! I enjoy this kind of competition very much!
Dennis

[Obiw4n]

Okay thank you for your answer and good luck for the 15k!! You're fighting against Pako and MAnudo in this battle!!
