How to strengthen your shin bone? For Muay Thai and such?

Question

I kick pretty d**n hard but also have kinda skinny legs and ive heard that you can fracture or snap your shin bone on someone if your bone isnt strong enough. And how to strengthen my bone is beyond me. Would just more calf muscle help?

Answer 1

well what i do is just plain ole whack my shins with sticks, dumb bells ect. also, if your legs are skinny then try doing   exercises that involve lifting you leg using your calf because you want mass and legs like running or walking slims it down.

remember a LITTLE fat on your legs is good for weight.

biking is good

Answer 2

i would ignore that part about kicking ur legs with sticks, what muay thai fighters in thailand do is they whack their legs on "young banana trees which are softer, then ur average tree, and over time ur bones will get harder, u can always kick a "hard heavy bag", not the bannana bags ones but more of the fat ones for punching, having muscular legs dose, squats , running, jump rope all will help u get stronger muscles

good luck

Answer 3

well i have read all the suggestions and its pretty good ones...but stupid ones too...like hitting ur shin with dumb bells man that is so stupid. i hope u haven't tried it...anyways...what i would like to tell  u is just exercise regularly (physical and light weights). this will help u to be strong and fast....and when u feel good about ur self....kick the bad dude in ur life and c the difference ur self.

Answer 4

using the rolling pin as suggested only deadens the nerves and you don't feel the pain,this can be detrimental as you can seriously damage your shins as you didn't realize how much damage you were doing because you couldn't feel the pain.

Bones , like muscles, grow stronger by creating micro fissures in them, the bone will then re-nit together and be more dense and stronger, but also more brittle. You achieve this by kicking things like the heavy bag.

Answer 5

kick the thai pads...kick a heavy bag...dont beat yourself with sticks or dumbells...if you do you are a dumbell. you're just going to hurt yourself.

im not saying its impossible to work up to that. but its very stupid and immature of anyone to tell a beginner to do these things.

Answer 6

Here.

The true process should be painless...

"Roll 40 times, knock 20 times. ( breath the same speed you roll - knocks are fast and light )

Repeat about 5 times - 4 times per week.

Similar exercises can be applied on the bottom of the forearm. "

Answer 7

Find a rolling pin like the one to flatten dough to make bread and roll it with a little bit of pressure up and down your shin bone for about ten minutes a day with no breaks. What this does is helps the callousing of the skin that deadens the nerves and makes the skin stronger and less sensitive when striking from shin against shin. Do this for a minimum of three months everyday and you'll start noticing the difference.
