A few things to mention too: More "intense" shin conditioning does in fact make the bone harder and denser (those videos you might find of people kicking hard surfaces or even the stick method), but that's not a good thing! What prevents your bone from breaking is actually the flexibility of the bone, and yes, bones do bend and flex. So while the other methods might be faster short-term, it's actually making your bone less flexible and therefore makes it break easily. The only methods that are actually viable (that doesn't reduce or impact the flexibility of the shins) are the ones you mentioned in the video: kicking the bag, running and other not so intense conditioning methods. Good video brother
This is counter intuitive. If someone were to only train with a bag then, their shins would just snap. Your bones will always get used to a stimulus, so even if you only hit the bag, your shins will get stronger
@@Chillpillspill i agree, once you get cordination and speed jumping rope is better especially if you do soviet style pendulum step footwork. i think the reason half of the people run is because their coaches said so cause the learning curve is so much shallower
Learning that running causes your shins to get denser makes so much sense besides the fact as a child I consumed a lot of calcium efficient food, I've been running since i wasss 5 and I've been playing football since about 12 (I'm 21) and I've seen instances where individually make contact with me, not just my shin but like even my knee and they'd be in severe pain and my pain was mild which is intriguing to know that it's because running and activities like that actually stress out the bone and makes it get stronger to compensate Thank you for this general knowledge This is also amazing to me because I've always wanted to train mixed martial arts but never got the chance
Very good! Also weight training creates the pressure which causes your bones to get denser. Like squats and calve raises. But it really needs to be a high load for a good stimulus to the bone. And remember that bone hypertrophy is much slower than muscle or tendon hypertrophy, so be patient. Bone takes up to a year to grow significantly
Rolling Only kills the nerve down there but it doesn't thicken up your bone the best thing to us what u said earlier kicking the bag, running but a new philosophy i found is to actually training the achilies tendon with high or mid intensity plyometrics such as Single leg Box jumps, pogo jumps, split squat jump, box jumps, long jumps, jumping and falling from heights etc. It will make the bone dense and hard plus boost your explosiveness and longevity
@@aidan2453From my unprofessional opinion, it *_should_* build strength in your lower body (especially quads and calves), but it will absolutely destroy your ankles over time.
rolling the stick on your skin deadens your nerves which is stupid cause at that point you would break your shin without even knowing its about to break cause it doesnt hurt as much as it should
The nerves in your bones are on the interior, so it won't even spot the pain from a broken bone, it will just hurt for nothing, and weaken your fascia, so make it easier to get the chin inflamed over any leg stress.
When I was a kid I used to whack and roll my shins thinking it would make them stronger. Many years later, all it did was make my shins really sore to the touch.
Well, this channel is the real deal. No fluff, no sh*t, no nonsense talk, no clickbait. This is 100% authentic, practical and useful information. BTW: Is this bone density thing the reason fighters do that "walking" over tires drill in Thailand muay thay gyms? Thank you. Definitely subscribed!
This is an interesting video. This seems to jive with what I've heard about other aspects of life and bone strength. Doctors frequently recommend that older folks engage in weight-bearing exercises because the added compressive force of those exercises on the skeleton stimulates the osteoblasts in the bones to produce stronger bones. This helps stave off things like osteoporosis and can protect against fractures which are particularly dangerous in older folks.
It took this video for me to put the two together, realised that both were helping create the bone density but the consecutive combination sounds like it'll be incredible! Thank you very much for the advice
I'm a fan both using all those training methods. Running definitely goes a long way towards building the bone density but it by itself won't help with not feeling the pain which is why I'm also a fan of tapping, rolling and heavy bag striking.
This makes perfect sense. Also the reason why my shins are already so pre conditioned after having done indoor soccer (on hard ground) for literally decades lol.
Really good video. Thank you for providing with true knowledge regarding shin conditioning. I have seen many other videos but find yours to be worthwhile and good thing i found about it before trying to do something bad to my shin. Keep it up🙏🙏🙏
If i remember from jeff nippards video, bone density mainly increased during hypertrophy training and it comes from both pulling of the bone and pushing of the bone in different directions.
Something I’ve become certain of is that very little direct shin conditioning is necessary beyond running and weights, maybe weighted running but idk about that
I used to be doing Cossack dances. In the first 2 weeks my legs hurt like hell, but after a while, I don't feel any pain while doing those dances anymore since my shins have become stronger.
I used to do cross country running and still run long distance regularly, nothing does your shins in quite like running a few miles a day for months Had shin splints (tons of fractures, lotsa pain) for most of that season, but after that healed post season there hasn't been a single problem, definitely they way to go.
Great advice. I’ve subscribed instantly. Why have you not come up on my feet before ? I agree with everything you teach 100%. I only roll my shins after hot and cold treatment after fights to ‘calm’ the blood vessels down.
I used to race motocross most weekends and kickboxing three time's aweek. People always noticed that shin on shin never bother me but the other person it did. After seeing this it makes sense. I always wounded why i didn't get hurt as much.
Beating your shins with a hard rubber mallet is great. First, condition yourself thoroughly on a heavy bag, then do this stuff. Running definitely helps. Bag is absolutely best.
Ive got a heavy bag that was 150lb when i started. At this point its way harder and heavier than it was when i got it, probably due to mold on the inside of the bag. Its honestly as hard as a rock. I should probably replace it. Also, I find that farmers walks followed by sprints, as well as jump rope/jumping in general helps a lot if you don’t like running 10miles a day.
I wonder if you want to avoid running on the balls of your feet since that will absorb the force as well. Would you recommend running and landing flat on your feet instead?
So does this mean the act of kicking bags and running itself is enough to condition the shin? Or do you recommend to do a combination of exercise where you sprint after hitting heavy bag?
I have been doing taekwondo since I was 7, and now I’m 17(tho I have 2-3 years rest due to Covid) but does that affect the shin in any way? Cause in taekwondo it’s about 90 percent on leg and stability. And there is a lot of hopping in it so I was wondering if that had any effect on my shin
It probably does. I do a lot of barefoot walking and stair climbing woth a weighted backpack plus green belt in taekwondo and my brother whos a black belt can still feel pain when we clash shins.
Hey question ❓.. How do I find legit Muay Thai dojos or instructors. The ones I found tend to teach many disciplines like kick boxing, Karate, Muay thai so I tend to believe they aren't good or not legit. Do I need to look for anything in particular or just join whatever's available
I dont have a kicking bag at home tho. Do you have any idea of another alternative i can use maybe with clothes or is running enough for that. Also isnt kicking the bag and kicking the leg with a hard object the same or am i wrong

THIS RIGHT HERE!!!
Strong and dense bones ARE more flexible. The intelligence of nature it will do both because is better.

I also hate running. Jumping rope on the other hand is way more fun and accomplishes the same.

Absolutely factual. Training Muay Thai for years, we ran everyday before every training sesh and sometimes after... Don't miss that whatsoever

Was going to suggest plyometrics as well. Greater reactivity and fast twitch in your legs is also a huge plus for fighting

This is the best compacted video i saw on this regards, ty.
You can't run from running. Also that's amazing how Stamp Fairtex joined your stream.
Coach used to make us huddle in a circle, holding shoulders behind the neck. And kick each other in the shins. Worked great!
Great explanation and helpful visual representation. Keep up the hard work brother
What an exceptional video this guy is so underrated

Can you please tell jumping excersies? Mine not do
Amazing video
Awesome explanation, thanks!
Stick thing only destroys your soft tissue nerves but doesn't strengthen your bone density
1:20 I like this part.
Refreshing
Question. How do i condition my shins if I don't have access to a heavy bag or any bag for that matter?
finally someone that can explain it correctly
You are a gem❤
1:39 Got it! I gotta tap my leg from the other side too! Thanks coach!
🙃
Thank you brother
I did hear Dr Eric berg say that to walking and running and jogging builds Bone density
Beating your shins with a hard rubber mallet is great. First, condition yourself thoroughly on a heavy bag, then do this stuff. Running definitely helps. Bag is absolutely best.
Tall jumps help along with running 🤟💚
Great video! Pls more of that
Another thing too, is heavy squats and deadlifts. They are the number 1 producer of denser bones in the legs. Dont skip the gym.
Very informative
Ignore it. 🤣 I'm an old boxer trying to teach myself minimal Muay Thai just because! Interesting video
This is great to know. Wish I could've done it back in the day.
Today, my shin bone is too damn sharp for anything...
Is no one gonna talk about the fact that this dude is friends with THE Stamp Fairtex? Awesome video btw but holy cow
Thanks 💪🏼
Mabey id be awsome at muay. Because my shins are probably dense af from doing parkour for 14 years.
Thanks
Ive got a heavy bag that was 150lb when i started. At this point its way harder and heavier than it was when i got it, probably due to mold on the inside of the bag. Its honestly as hard as a rock. I should probably replace it.
Also, I find that farmers walks followed by sprints, as well as jump rope/jumping in general helps a lot if you don’t like running 10miles a day.
Yeah, those are solid alternatives to long runs!
is possible skaters get same effects?
Very nice
Solid...
With that impact on legs, would teeps(front snap kick things) help build the same way running can 🤔
Ah, thank you and you have a follow!
Would jumping be similar? Like jump Jax or rope jumping
Anything to build ankle stability and leg strength/muscles help
That makes a lot of sense. My shins sound like toilet roll tubes rn 😂
Powerlifting heavy squats is good for bone density
Wow
Good video bro 👌🏽👍🏽
I never trained Muay Thai, but I kicked tires training for MMA way back when it was called NHB😅
Has anyone tried Rope skipping for Shin bone / legs conditioning?
sounds like shin splints
