Warwolf Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Howdy. So I have a question for all of ya'll who bring the thunder (or just play drums like normal people, pshh). Life has been good and thus my band has been blessed with decent gigs every couple of days.My concern is with working out. I'm afraid to work out the night before (or in cases of the Advanced Bodyweight Workout 2-3 nights before) a show because I'm worried about being sore or fatigued and messing up. Also, one of my 6-week goals involves climbing sideways a fairly long distance that takes a hefty toll on my hands even with gloves. So does anybody have any recommendations or similar conundrums with how to stick to your workouts (and make progress) without crippling your ability to play well the following night? Any advice is appreciated!-Warwolf The body is just a vehicle for the soul...I wanna build a racecar!

Frost of the Gloaming Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I don't play gigs, but I totally understand what you mean about getting a good work out in and then sitting behind the set the day after and feeling it; arms feel so heavy lolAll I know is if I had a paying gig the next day I might cut back on my work out a little bit and try to make up for it after the gig Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........

Warwolf Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Thanks DJ! Yeah that's kind of what I've been trying to do but getting myself to work out when you get home at 3:00am is like @_@ . I wish drumming didn't use all 4 limbs, this would be a lot easier The body is just a vehicle for the soul...I wanna build a racecar!
