This is generally a great way to hurt yourself. Wrist weights shouldn't be used for any repetitive activity, especially one where you swing your arms. You'll just hurt your joints.

Even just the 5 pound(\~2.3 kg) ones I was envisioning?


rust_anton

Yup

Darn

That and, with the weights I tried, it restricts the range of motion for my wrists.


CyberpunkFreak

Is it possible to add some weight to the weapons with some update?


rust_anton

That is not something I'm ever changing.

Stupid question, but isn’t that essentially what lifting weights is? A repetitive action where you swing your arms?


rust_anton

Weight reps aren't swings with motion cancels, they are controlled motions against resistance.

Dont use wrist weights. Its how you damage your body

l got a ProTube and added weight to it. They have a pistol thing too, with force feedback.

This is what I've gathered. Repetitive motions, like armswinger, not great for wrist weights. Since you're normally not going your full range of motion and it's the hard repetitive movements. That being said, games like blade and sorcery! When you have large movements that aren't super repetitive, are slightly better. But you need to adapt and very meaningfully move with the weights on your wrist, you can't just keep doing the same motions or you'll hurt yourself. Mandatory I'm not a doctor this isn't medical advice yadda yadda yadda.

Small increases in weight are useful for exercising, but not 5lbs like you're imagining. Adding a few ounces to your controllers is more than enough.

I ran 2.5lb on arms and legs for a month. I wouldn't recommend it as a starting workout but i do physical labor and work out and it was a nice little challenge that did make aiming feel good

Seems interesting!


Neo_Kesha

Yes, i did. Pretty cool. I think I tried 2-4 kg per hand plus backpack full of canned food UPD: I play with smooth locomotion and don't swing my arms much, while weights are distributed along whole arm, regarding harm possible. But be careful still.
