More speed more strength

[Buccos1]

I would like to do that comp at some point actually.

Cool! I am looking to compete in WSH next year, if I can stay healthy. (Bending injuries have stalled some of my grip goals throughout the past year.) WSH is probally the biggest reason why I wanted to get the Vulcan.

I soak them in hot water to help the healing, it seems to work very well.

I stretch them and rub them as well while soaking.

Ever tried that but contrasting with cold water? No personal experience but I've heard good things.
