Too Much Cornhole Practice?! Watch out for Injuries!

When you think of sports injuries cornhole is not the sport you think of. But they do happen and have had me out of commission for a significant amount of time. Paying attention to your body, resting when neccesary, and a few more things you can do to prevent and treat any aches and pains that may come along with playing cornhole. Too much cornhole practice can be a bad thing. #cornhole

I have a torn rotator cuff from my days playing disc golf for 20 years.
When I play cornhole too much I get sore. Limits how much I can practice.
Eventually I get elbow pain too. I found that resting until it gets better then start training my grip strength with grippers helps too. I work in the office too and grip strength training helps keep carpal tunnel at bay too.

Heading to Amazon to order grippers

@cornholenoob make sure to also get the extensor bands too. You need to do both squeeze exercises and finger extension exercises.
When I started I could only squeeze like 90lbs, now I can squeeze 140lbs.

You can also check out Wim Hof and learn how breath work can help heal your inflammation. He has a guided breathing video to help you get started. Going into the cold via cold showers or ice baths will help tremendously as well. Good luck and keep healing up!

been dealing with shoulder pain for the last 6 months, seems like throwing too much combined with trying to learn the roll bag, the elbow rotation just killed my shoulder. I thought it was bicep tendonitis but not sure it might be more of a rotator injury. Resting is hard when you love playing so much!

[@cornholenoob]

Hope it heals up soon sir

I get pain on the right (throwing) side of my neck after events or long practices in the yard. I’m 56, in great shape, and lift daily. I’m just surprised it keeps happening-even after playing consistently for months now.
Anyone else get this?

[@cornholenoob]

For me it's weird that I can lift weights with no issue, but slinging a bean bag can send fire up my arm lol
