It was quite noticable at the UK shows that he was flexing them and shaking them out after certain sections
Exercise or stiffness?

Relaxation of the muscles is very important during a DT show.

After a hard, fast sequence you just need that - sometimes....
No Stiffness i think ;-)

its natural i think to relax the hands when playing music as hard as dts. john petrucci said on rock discipline that he massages his hands in gigs when hes not playing

yeah i think Jordan has talked about in interviews that he likes to keep his hand/finger muscles very relaxed during shows and that he uses that shaking technique a lot to just get the blood flowing and what not so his hands are as limber and ready to play as possible

He has said that, when people ask him if his hands are OK after they see him shaking them out, he answers, "Yes, but they wouldn't be if I didn't shake them out!"

He says why he shakes his hands all the time.
