What's an iron fist training?
I do fist pushups on hard floor because regular pushups hurt my wrists. Does this count?
Hurting your knuckles till they harden, most often by punching a sand bag like I do
Sure its part of that, do speed bag punches against a wall like wing chun guy would, its actually decent conditioning, just figure out your limit and do -5 after the, soft strikes against wall, not hard when going fast.
Yeah its a good tool for rehabbing the arm as well if you use sand as resistance, opening with finger strikes, then straight arm swirls going outward and then punching and drilling the sand with knuckles inward-neutral position. Its good for knuckle density, even the claw grip squeeze, twist and extend is good for extensors in the forearm since its harder to train them with tools. I've only broken my skin a bit so far and let that one heal but the density is growing in the knuckles from the strikes and twists 100%. Sand training is imo better for the fists than wood or concrete when starting out, but one can adapt to that by holding knuckle planks etc faster that way as well, remember to do the extensors if you are doing iron fist training so you can still open your fist and manipulate your fingers.
I wrote it like a retard but I mean it for real
From the thumbnail I thought this was another gay porn thread
I wanted to post my knuckles but the file was too big
>my hand pic related
I recommend getting some Sebapharma/Sebamed whatever that product is called to hydrate your knuckles so they heal faster and the skin doesn't get bloodied allowing it to toughen up.
Thanks anon, will continue with training later after your recommendation, I'm on treatment that causes my skin to be dry so it's ineffective or just use some hand cream
That product I mentioned its basically for dry skin and healing it up. I've got sensitive/dry skin mostly as well.
Will buy it then
I looked into it awhile ago. Basically it's a great way to develop arthritis and fucking your hands up without any true benefit. Bones are strengthened through adequate nutrition and load-bearing, not microtearing like muscles. It's precisely the same reason why ultra-runners and military personnel develop fucked up lower body joints.
There are smart ways to do things and less smart ways to do things, you can see a lot of people getting injuries over bench presses, deadlifts and clean to presses yet people still do them.
Except the notion is training for something that is unreasonable to expect. Bones generally are not strengthened from fracturing and in fact tend to be more prone to fracturing near the broken point. When I broke the bones in one of my shins, there is literally a scarred line on those bones in x-rays. Hairline fractures tend to accumulate and promote more fracturing. And the force put around the joints just means you're promoting arthritic issues from the inflammation.
It can. Running countless miles, especially with added weight, can yield those hairline fractures I mentioned, and continuing to run on them just makes those fractures stack up. Part of why runners can work up to longer distances is because the muscles around the bones become more dense and provide more shock absorption, but there's a point where the the impact still causes issues.
Wolf's law is more about bone density in relation to loads, not impact. If that were the case, it would behoove everyone to break their skulls and ribs to strengthen the protection around their brain and organs, but nobody is signing up for that.
You aren't actually breaking the bones through use, that's not the point or the way you should train iron fist neither is it taught that way unless your sifu/sensei is a complete retard.
you are striking so you absorb the vibrations of the hits allowing your arms to adapt to that sort of resistance and strengthening the nerves.
Also regarding your point about skull etc shit.
>you arent causing hairline fractures on your hands because... well you just arent!
>and some white guy on youtube translating chinese pseudo shit is totally valid for a means of physical training
>neck bridges = skull fractures
Jesus christ, your mother must have drank bleach while pregnant.
Hmm ok so running a little every now and then would help but I shouldn't overdo it, thanks frens
Wait so running actually fucks op your leg bones? Muay thai memed me into thinking I needed to run and kick the heavy bag to get strong bones...
Myua Thai fighters don't run enough to cause such issues ultra marathoners look at those races vs myau thai practice which is like 5km at most daily and some kali stick shin conditioning.
