Does FFR Give One Large Forearm Muscles?

[Chymp]

Does playing massive amounts of FFR and eating a lot of high protein foods make one's forearms massive? Does it give one any kind of strength boost at all?

Or does it just wreak havoc on one's metacarpals?

Actually, a high protein diet isn't necessary to gain muscle, but some protein is required of course. Playing really hard ffr songs actually can build some of the muscles in the forearms.

No.. It makes your numpad mad at you.

My arrows, numpad and dfkl keys are all mad at me. And yeah, I think I've gained some forearm muscles.

Back when I played SM a lot and I played one handed, my forearm was definitely larger than it is now.

Can't say if the same is true for other playstyles, but one hand does make for bigger forearms.

By the way, those muscles being stronger won't help you at all in real life. All it helps you with is your endurance and speed in FFR/SM.

No, you won't get massive forearms from playing FFR. You'll obviously experience hypertrophy because you're using the muscle more, but only a little bit, and then it will stop growing. Playing FFR is an isotonic and aerobic(for the most part) exerise, but it's not one designed to build muscle mass. If anything it will make your forearms more defined, and it will definitely improve muscular endurance.

So, in short, you will not get Popeye arms from playing FFR! :P

Sorry, not to be rude, but you're dead wrong.

Lol I don't think it's possible to get more healthy while playing FFR. It certainly won't make you stronger but it probobly does help your hand Eye cordination.

INDEED!!!!

Playing FFR can only benefit hand-eye cordination like Billydude said. Your health doesn't benefit, in fact you have a greater chance of getting Carpal Tunnel.

All it does for me is make my wrists hurt like ****.

You guys play too much, haha. The only music game that's ever hurt my wrists/fingers/whatever is Guitar Hero, and that's after hours of playing.

"High protein diet" is extremely relative. A diet high in proteins is certainly necessary to build muscle, but as long as you eat meat, you already consume a lot of proteins. Protein supplements usually shouldn't be necessary. I'm pretty sure that's what Pinoy was getting at.
