Shin kick... hwo do i know i'm doing it at its full potential?

[Zephyor]

I could kick trough a 3X3 cm 1 m long stick at ease but i guess thats something any1 could do if not afraid to go at full power... shins didnt hurt ... i aim for more... il ltry kicking trough a 5X5cm one too see if i can breack it...( damn i sound so dumb by saying this and i probably am)

I made myself a hitting pole, so to speack, what i actually did was one metal pillar wrape up tightly into one layer of 5 cm poliuretanic foam, kinda same thing they use for judo mats. Is it a good thing to train on? or shall i make myself a heavy bad made by a standard size sac filled with compressed sawdust...
What can i say... i lack money to buy myself equipment but i got some spare materials.

If you're talking about making your shins harder, running is a great way to condition them.

Please don't kick wood sticks for conditioning.

 

[Headhunter]

Yeah don't do that unless you want permanent damage when your older

I don't kick sticks for conditioning, i kicked one, once, to see if my kick is strong enough to break it. I also had my striking leg wrapped in cloth.
I do use a construction pole , wraped up in a shock absorbing surface to drill my kicks. feels no different from a genuine bag.

Yeah mabye a bit more padding on that pole. You have to do lots of kicks to get good kicks. And the harder the surface you kick. The less kicks you can do.

A lot of impact damage is cumulative. So you can be Van Damme one moment and Kurt furnley the next.

Always train smart keeping injuries to a minimum. Being well conditioned from slow steady training will assure you will be in one piece when you are older......
