Hey I've noticed after most of my brood war games my hands get cold. This is really annoying and seems to slow me down some what. I try to keep the room I play in warmer then average. Does anyone else have experience with this?

My hands get colder too but only after the first couple of games. When my game count goes up to 4+ then they get warmer and stay warm. You may want to consider wearing a sweater/jacket when you start playing, it certainly helps.

kewt...

when i play beyond a comfortable apm or when stressed my hands get cold and abit shaky... its probably due to stress. take a break after each game and dont push yourself too hard over a game.

unless you're a progamer....

i used to get cold hands too, i think it was because of the way i used to sit before, really laid back with my arms resting on the edge of the table. I think that caused the bloodflow to be slightly obstructed and thus made my hands feel colder. Maybe you have the same problem?

I try to keep the air conditioner not as high so I can move my hands around faster

i also have that during winter, but not during summer

wash your hands with really warm water between games, so the blood keeps flowing, that usually helps

or you could buy one of those fancy hand warmers, but i think it's a waste of money

Cold hands are most likely because of the blood flow. You should do some minor physical excersizes with your hand (like pinching hard on something soft) every other day and you'll lose that problem totally. People that work out regularly don't often times have this problem. Let me state that I am currently not very physically active so I use this method aswell

My hands seriously go freezing sometimes when I play. Its kinda weird but really only happens in the colder months (makes sense eh). I usually take a hot shower to warm and relax them :D

it just might be the way your hands are elevated and how like upwardly bent your wrists are.

This and make sure you sit properly.

Had this problem until just a while ago, but now everything's fine.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.
