Title: Shin conditioning
Post by: menging on October 31, 2011, 09:49:46 AM

Not sure if this has been posted before.

What are your thoughts on bone conditioning? As in kick a heavy bag a lot until the bones in your shin thicken in response to the stress.

It may not be exactly the same thing as you have in mind, but take a look at this previous thread about "controlled body impact" and letting us know what you think:

There is a fine line between useful hormesis and masochistic self-injury...
