There is also no point to making it harder for yourself and that in no way will improve your mechanics. The right thing to do is practice your timings, keep your money low at all times by having good macro, expanding, microing when necessary, watching your minimap, and basically doing everything correctly/at the right time...these things will naturally increase your apm. Play efficient and play smart but don't make it harder on yourself...the more you practice the easier all these steps of the game will become and they will become encoded in your muscle memory so you can do mechanics and have high apm without consciously thinking about it. After you reach this level, where you know build orders, timings, and mechanics like the back of your hand, you can focus on strategy/tactics and psychological warfare. That is when the game gets interesting.

I have to become 10% better at the game to overcome this. 2. After training, I revert to the optimal setup. The 10% extra skill I have gained is copmletely negated by my unfamiliarity with this setup. There's a reason it's 1a2a3a and not 3a6a7a0a. Edit: Drilling (practicing specific scenarios or battles over and over) makes sense. You can even reduce your army size until you are able to win battles you shouldn't with fewer units. Handicapping yourself be limiting your control doesn't make sense. The former is like sparring while not allowing yourself to take 5 punches total. The latter, your suggestion, is like training with lead boots, which makes no sense.

Maybe you should even do it without a keyboard. Not really sure how, but it is for sure an interesting idea.
