My hypothenar eminence is bigger than yours!

[lithiumkc]

So as I've been playing guitar hero for a good year and a half now... I noticed a while back that the muscle on the outside of my left hand, under the pinky, is literally tumor-ish. Like, rock solid and bulging.

I had no clue what it was called or what the muscles were used for so i looked it up.. It's actually a set of 3 muscles, called the 'Hypothenar Eminence' and they're used to control the pinky.

Im assuming this is common amongst any expert GH players.. who's with me, freakish left hand muscle owners?

[Quastor]

Nope. And I've been playing since a week before Guitar Hero's offical release date.

<Sorry, You're a Freak>

You should probably get that checked out.

Bahahah... I guess not everybody has the same results... you can flex it by lowering your pinky, compare it to the right hand and if you play intense songs pretty regularly, it should be noticeably bigger :p

Again, this.

I've been playing every day since the beginning of 06 and had no problems with my hands. I agree, see a doctor.

I have played real guitar for 4 years (a lot more pinky work). I have no such growth.

Same, I have been playing guitar and bass for about 7 years and no such thing.
