I've been thinking about this for a while, since it seems when Im done playing DDR, I dont feel like i'm any stronger then before. _________________

If you do end up going through with this you need to be careful, because if adding too much weight you could cripple your feet over time. _________________

go for it! of course im assuming u play on a harder difficulty, if u do ull feel it more. if u play on an easier diffuculty ull feel it less. so if u play on an easrier diffuculty, just play more songs so ull feel about the same. |

I remember doing something similar when I was really into DDR. Except I would not recommend using ankle weights, just seems like it would do more bad for your ankle, than good for your ddr skills. I just carried 2 10 pound weights in both hands. _________________

Don't do it. You have the risk of injuries and stuff. Just play alot (if you're fairly high level, try playing stuff like max300, TLOM, and Paranoia survivor a lot, it'll really help you.) |

this is Xtremist using his friends account cause mine got banned untill staurday
Don't do it.
it may seem like a good idea at first but take it from a guy who simultaniously sprained both ankles at once, playing PSM
so don't do it itll take you out for at least two months and youll start sucking cause you won't be able to play as much asd'd you like cause then youll heels, basicly your whole foot will hurt so don't do it.
ya, thats one of the reasons i picked up GH, because i had to stay off my feet for like two months so i had nutin better to do.
ya now i'm amazing at GH i mean i still play DDR but i'm not as good as once was.
ya so take it from me don't do it _________________

But don't fret, there'll be no strings attached. |
