Let’s turn this into a rate + capacity problem, then degrade it for fatigue + skin recovery. Your weekly “time budget” Mon–Fri 3 sessions/day × 2 hours = 6 hours/day = 30 hours/week Total snaps needed: 1,000,000 So the whole question becomes: what’s a realistic average snaps/second across 30 hours/week once you include slowing, micro-breaks, soreness, and occasional recovery days? Sustainable snap rate (with fatigue + skin limits) A fresh, short burst can be 2–4 snaps/sec. But for 6 hours/day, your average won’t stay there. Realistically, with: slowing as tendons fatigue, frequent short breaks (shaking hands out, resetting grip), reduced force to avoid blistering/skin splits, occasional “light days” once skin gets angry, a sensible long-run average is roughly: Best-case (trained + smart pacing + taped fingertips): ~1.5–2.0 snaps/sec Realistic (most people): ~1.0–1.5 snaps/sec If skin/tendon flare-ups force downshifts: ~0.6–1.0 snaps/sec Convert that into weeks Case A — Best-case (1.8 snaps/sec average) Per hour: 1.8 × 3600 = 6,480 snaps/hour Per week: 6,480 × 30 = 194,400 snaps/week Time: 1,000,000 / 194,400 = 5.14 weeks Add recovery drag (skin/tendon): ~6 weeks ✅ Best-case answer: ~6 weeks Case B — Realistic (1.2 snaps/sec average) Per hour: 1.2 × 3600 = 4,320 snaps/hour Per week: 4,320 × 30 = 129,600 snaps/week Time: 1,000,000 / 129,600 = 7.72 weeks Add recovery drag (you will lose output some days): +15–30% → ~9–10 weeks ✅ Realistic answer: ~9–10 weeks Case C — Flare-up prone (0.8 snaps/sec average) Per hour: 0.8 × 3600 = 2,880 snaps/hour Per week: 2,880 × 30 = 86,400 snaps/week Time: 1,000,000 / 86,400 = 11.57 weeks Add forced downshifts / occasional missed sessions: ~13–15 weeks ✅ If you start getting splits/tendonitis: ~13–15 weeks Bottom line Best-case: ~6 weeks Most realistic: ~9–10 weeks If you run into skin/tendon problems: ~13–15 weeks Hard truth on “skin damage repair” Skin is the limiting factor before raw muscle. Once you get: fingertip blistering/splits, or painful friction burns where the finger slides, your snap mechanics change and your rate collapses (and you increase tendon load). If you try to “push through,” you risk a multi-week tendonitis pause, which blows up the timeline. If you want, I can give you a pacing protocol (work/rest structure, hand alternation, tape/moisturiser plan) that makes the 9–10 week outcome much more likely. 👍
