Building 60 supply of zerglings gave me a 1000 apm peak (regular apm in replay). It was for a very short time so I'm not sure how much it influences your average apm, but it isn't bullshit. | ||

It does count towards apm but contributes a tiny amount to your overall apm otherwise every zerg player would be walking around with 500 apm simply from building units. | ||

'how can marathon runners run at average speeds of 20 kmh for 60 km's and then swim for 5 km and bike for X kilometers?' because they trained for it. And if you experience pain when playing with low apm, consult a doctor or examine possible problems with chair/keyboard/mouse etc. | ||

Now, i don't know in what way you hand exactly hurts, so i could be totally wrong. I play classical piano for a long time, and when studying hard parts it is possible to not notice how your 'stance' changes into a very cramped one. For example you hold your shoulders way higher than you're supposed to. After a while, you arm will hurt. The same with your fingers: when practicing a piece were you need your fingers to be spread wide, your fingers might hurt a lot; not because they are spread too far, but because you don't relax you fingers enough. I understand the urge to be faster and that you have different techniques you accomplish that. But the advice i'd like to give is to be aware of your hand's state during practice. If it isn't relaxed, relax for a while (could be a few minutes, or longer) and then try again. I don't know if this will help. It helped me during piano practice as well as gaming (sc2 or osu). i wish i wouldve known about that when i was trying to become a pro ;; | ||

I think my pain is due to my bad hand placement, for instance I always Use the hotkeys 1, 2, 3 for OC, Rax and Starports/Factory when I play T and Hatch, Infestors/Mutas, main army when I play Z, so my hand is placed at a bad spot, but i can't seem to be able to play with the classic OC/Hatch on 5 and army on 1. So if you have tips on how to get rid of the old way and get better at using 5 for hatch/OC then i'll take it | ||

I'll admit I haven't read the entire thread so I apologize if this has been said, but if this is becoming a serious problem to ANYONE they should see a doctor. I play with an average of 100+ APM. I spam lots in early game and then usually my natural macro/micro will keep me on a steady 100-125 once the game has been somewhat established. I personally find I can play easily for 8 hours a day without any serious hand cramping/pain. I do take several breaks throughout, but still play quite constantly. My brother on the other hand has around the same APM if not a tiny bit higher, and he literally gets pains within the first few games even if they are short. He then went to the doctor and then had to be referred to an Osteopath and needs to go for regular appointments and do several home treatments. One of the treatments involves submersing your entire arm into extremely hot water and then alternating with icy cold water. I think I don't have to convince you that you don't want to have to do this every day just to play SC2 or use your wrist a lot. So basically my point is if you have any bothersome pain, PLEASE get it looked at! It may be too late if you wait too long like my brother and then have to do daily treatments to do something you love. | ||

people think about this to much ,like its game breaking.. you can sit on 200 apm and still lose against a terran /protoss with around 40-70 apm.. but i digress. i play zerg and the thing i did with my apm practice was.. I completely stopped spaming in the beginning of every match i played. i only did the necessary clicks that i have to do, so by doing so i easily could see what my apm was and see when it got higher , and it felt only natural doing so. when i started get better after a few weeks i was about 70 apm, i started at 50apm. now few years later and in higher league i am around 150-170 apm in every match i play ,simply because ive practiced alot without the spaming and knowing what to do.. this is something i recommend and it really feels alot better than constantly spaming at start when you really dont need to ,right? it can hurt your hands like OP said. | ||
