Mister Mag, Have you ever tried actual exercising, as in a regular full-body workout? I’ve found that a light to moderate workout is really good before a long practice session. Definitely not something that’s so strenuous that that I’m worn out afterwards, but just 20-30 minutes of moderate calisthenics, push ups, a quick jog around the neighborhood- just enough to get the heart pumping and the blood flowing a bit. It’s actually not all that often that my schedule allows be to do this before I play, but whenever I am able to do it I really notice the difference; I feel overall good and “shored-up”, my posture is straight and strong, I feel more mentally alert and focused, I can go longer with out starting to feel tired, etc. It really does have a positive effect on a lot of different levels. So, it might be helpful to try some kind of whole-body approach to get your hands warmed up, rather than just focusing on the hands themselves. Some jumping jacks, couple pushups, some knee bends….
