i'm taking muay thai lessons and i'd like to harden up my shins and my forearms... what's the best way to do it, beside hitting the heavy bag, since i don't have one and i go to the gym just three times a week?

You can do nothing, get used to the pain and with time itll get better. Anyway, you cant really significantly harden your shin, you just kill nerves and it feels that way.

a friend of mine who's been doing kickboxing for some years has iron-like shins, so it's wrong that you can't harden your shin

You can harden your shins, by repeatedly subjecting them to that modern form of torture called "conditioning". However this must be done very gradually and with a lot of effort.
 

Do not be too easy. If you are too easy to get, she will not want you. If you are too easy to keep, she will lose interest in you. If you are too easy to control, she will not respect you.

Pain is just weakness leaving your body. Get a heavy bag and get ready to cry like Nancy Kerrigan every night for a few months.

get a plastic mallet from the local DIY store.

Then lightly tap skins and forarms - increasing in force.

It will take some time, but you will harden your shins and forearms.

when I used to take muay thai lessons the teacher used to roll glass bottles on our shins and also tap our shins and forearms lightly with the bottle and then tap harder and harder each day, it hurts like a b1tch but it works. after 3 weeks we each had to break a wooden broomstick with a kick and then with the elbow. some pussies couldnt but most of us could. now that I remember that, those classes were f(_)cking cool.

Did any of the glass bottles ever break? like if someone had a particularly jagged shin or sum ****.

Yeah thats actually really ****ing bad, it damages the periost, which holds the cells that form the bone matrix. Youll actually **** yourself up longterm.

What does the greatly scientific statement "iron-like" mean exactly?

Shins are pretty hard to begin with, how can you tell if his are harder than normal?

kick a bamboo tree, roll a bat up and down it, then pound them 100 times with a golf club every night.

Man Im serious not trying to smartass, Im just wondering how you would measure his shins being stronger.

Do your shins feel softer than his?
 

You essentially upped your VALUE in her eyes by showing her that, if she wants you, she has to at times do things that you like to do. You are SOMETHING after all. You are NOT FREE. If she wants to hang with you, it's going to cost her something — time, effort, money.

then, i'm sorry, i thought you were being sarcastic. anyway, yes, my shins and my friends' shins are far softer than his... it's really hard to explain, when you touch them, it's like touching a iron object

Maybe he has less fat or something, as far as I know you cant really make it significantly harder.
