Reply #4 - Feb 26^th, 2011 at 8:43pm In that I sling practically every day, usually twice a day, plus I bowl at least five games twice a week my arm and shoulder always hurt at least to some degree. It usually doesn't get to the point of hurting unbelievable, thankfully.

Yeah, I slung at full power too many times today, trying to break my distance record, and put too much stress on my arm and shoulder. As a result, my arm felt like the bones were broken for about an hour (until I took some ibuprofen). I noticed that changing up styles and slinging at reduced power for a while helps to ease the soreness.

Yes, throwing your arm out is not fun. I have to say though I can throw a ton more rocks with the sling and be perfectly fine, than if I were to throw the rocks by hand like a baseball pitch. I threw a rock today by hand after I was done slinging, just for fun, and it seemed like such a joke compared to the sling. The rocks I were slinging were fairly big and heavy too.

As everyone else,didn't like when I've "thrown my arm out".It was a few thousands slung stones before now,when I was under mental pressure to prove myself,slinging hard,and slinging fist sized rocks until my arm started to hurt so bad that I barely could move it a half an hour.Of course I couldn't sling and after about a half an hour most of the pain was gone,and of course I started slinging again,after a couple of stones it started to hurt again,until I finally recognized that I forced myself way too much and it's time to stop.I also discovered that the longest throws were made relaxed,smooth technique,not Chuck Norris steel muscle throws.It's just a waste of energy and skeletal integrity to force slinging.

Reply #13 - Mar 1^st, 2011 at 12:42am The only time I have gotten a sore arm from slinging was the first week that I started slinging, since then it's all been smoothe sailing. What does give me a sore arm is using a hammer stone for flintknapping, gets you right in the elbow after a while.

I have come across reading that has recommended stretching before slinging. I never have had any issues and so have never stretched, but I would think those of you experiencing soreness should certainly try.

Any new activity may utilize muscles that you normally don't use in day-to-day activity. If you are experiencing prolonged soreness you either are going at it too hard or may have hurt something, I would take a break and revise your technique.
