After i do my six step the right side of my right hand palm starts to hurt. Can anybody tell me why it hurts and how to fix it?

[lil'kiwi]

Are u just learning the six-steps or u are really good at it already?...coz if u are just starting,maybe u use ur hand a lot to balance urself(this based on my experience)....that's y it is hurting...give it a rest will be a cure...but if it still paining after 2-3 weeks....u know wat to do!...DOCTORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

How are u supporting urself?

[uncommonstyles]

i use my hands to support my weight because im a beginner. what do i do to take some weight off my hands?

[Xero0197]

Use ur fingers to support the wheight instead of flat palms

[uncommonstyles]

im not strong enough to support my weight on my fingers. do you know any exercises that i can do to increase my finger strength?

[talib kweli]

get a stress ball that may help

[huzey]

get a "grip master" its what people do to strengthen there wrists after they break them. maybe youve been doing them wrong, send in a video.also do pushups, roll your wrists. etc

if u cant support ur weight on ur fingers maybe u arent using enough of ur hand


when u go on ur fingertips make sure that ur four fingers r completely on the ground and not raised up and dont kick ur thumb with ur hand *ouch*


i still have problems with my thumbs but it doesnt happen while i break

[soviet]

that's really odd. sounds like your doing something wrong.

that should be in the newbie guide...

i don't know anyone who breaks who hasn't sprained at least one finger in their time ... it takes time to build up the strength in your hands to practice footwork consistently without pain . Try using a grip ball if you want to work on finger strength- i do my footwork on my fingers, but not my fingertips. It took a few days to get used to but gives me more clearance andi have long legs so that helps a bunch . Ice your hand when it hurts , and remember to circle your wrists and move your fingers all the time to keep the muscles working and warm . In tme you'll learn how to balance yourself better on your hands but for nowjust keep on trying. You also might want to try just telling yourself to put weight on a different part of your hand for a while and see if that changes anything
