Squats, extensions, and curls. Don't lock out your knees either.

 

You get some bad info or somethin?

Thanks zr440 but what i meant by conditioning is so it wont hurt as much if you are kicked in the thighs.

:bawling: I'm going through the same thing so I asked my Muy Thai master (at the time he was kicking an Iron post with his shins, no lie). He said it always hurts (this after 30yrs boy to man). He also said that u learn to ignore the pain and also that u don't usually feel the pain during a fight ( u shure as heck feel it after the fight). But most importantly don't train to get hit, train to attack and win. Don't try to condition parts of your body to take punishment, condition your body to fight (heavy bag, thai pads and lot s and lots of sparring and I do mean full contact and light). :brow:

I couldn't agree with him more. Anyone who thinks they have to deaden their nerves or build up those nasty calcium deposits by hitting hard objects is going to have big problems in the long term.

Working with a partner can harden your muscles, though. It also teaches you how to "recieve" blows to the thighs with the least pain.

yeah, it's definetely better if you just focus on speed, strength, and power instead of focusing on things like SHIN CONDITIONING. I get SOO pissed off by * like that. I hate it, I mean, you would think these people had some sense. The bottom line is that no one is invincible because everyone is human. All human feel pain. ZR is right, that shin conditioning crap is going to screw up for life.
