We know that some techniques are more difficult than others, but which techniques do you think take up the most energy ? What are the most physically demanding techniques that you use ?
I vote for fast down strokes and pick tapping (tapping with the edge of your pick like Satriani)
Down strokes:
Pick tapping (around 1:07)

i am going with Fast Down Strokes, it's probably the technique that generate more tension on my arms.
i am yet to manage play master at full speed without dying, last time i tried i was only able to play it at 195 bpm

195bpm is still good ! Try doing it in bursts at a higher speed (210 maybe) and come back down and see if you can do it a little longer at 200.

Downstrokes for me as well and I might add prolongued usage of AP at a steady tempo with unusual shapes.
For instance, I had a lot of fuss with the AP arpeggios which I played towards the ending part in Vivaldi's winter. I think it's a good AP exercise so... here it is for you to have fun with

i think tremelo picking a la Bullet for my Valentine style is up there, he smashes the low C string on that guitar.....

I couldn't play paranoid like 14 years back.. too much downstrokes.. It was one hell of energy grabber... At the end the right arm was numb.
