Rattan/Wire/Bean Hitters

Do you use these before or after your workouts? Workouts meaning: standing meditation, xingyi, etc.

Yes there is an order to it, but it is something that should be taught in person and monitored from time to time by the teacher to ensure that one progresses correctly. Generally you start with the most forgiving training, and slowly work one's way up to the less forgiving over a long period of time.

I get it from the fact you state that you just got all three that no one is guiding your training
If this is the case you will most likley do no harm
However you can probably spend your time more effectively
Don't put power into the form let it naturally arise from the form

I appreciate your concerns for my health and well being but there's no in person trainers available to guide me. What I have though is videos and instructions that show the "sweet" spots if you will on where to hit. I just haven't found any info on the particular order.

So... wire > rattan > bean or what?

What are you hopping to get out of these? There are different tools for different areas and there's also a consideration for the goal.
