Shin Conditioning!

[Muaythaiboxer]

what is the point of the coke bottles?

[elbows_and_knees]

same as a rolling pin - it conditions the shins. supposedly you bust the capillaries and kill the nerves in your shin.

Whoa, I'm confused... what are you doing with the coke bottles and rolling pins?

[Muaythaiboxer]

i use bamboo for that but coke bottles? seems a little strange to me but hey! if it works dont stop.

Coke bottles !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So whats the point of killing your shin nerves anyway ??

^^^look at the title of the thread

That’s not what I meant , what I meant is : does it worth killing your shin nerves in order not to feel the pain ?? There are better ways to do that , kicking sandbags for instance ..

[Ben Martin]

yeah the best way to do it is to keep kicking a sand bag or you can do what ive done if you dont have a sand bag and put some sand in a plastic bag and then put that into a sock make sure there is enough sand to fill the foot part of the sock. then you tie the ankle part up and then wrap in in to two more socks and do the same with each one then get one or two more and put the others in but dont tie a not so it should now look like a small sand bag and you can use this for conditioning your shins. in my experience this is better then using bamboo i always come out with loads of bruises after using the bamboo stick.

ok rolling bamboo on your shins and kicking the sand bag both kill nervs in your shins thats how you train your shins to take more impact by killing the nervs.
