Training punching power.

[Yours truly]

A while back, i decided to lose alot of weight and did so. Since then, when ive trained alot of my strength has gone. I think it is taking some time to come back.... Anyway, over the period of 1 month, i have seen atleast 3 new large veins appear on my arm. Now thats not my reason for posting, just a little backround for you all.

My reason for posting is simply to ask your opinions on the art of strengthening your fists,

this is done by repeatedly hitting hard objects (such as wood, brick, metal.) untill the point of bruising or damaging bones, then after they heal, you repeat this proccess and steadly your bones and become more stronger (Providing you are using the right nutriance). I THINK the main reason this procces works is because your damaging the nerves in your fist, so there is less feeling - therefore making the pain less in your fist when you attack something.

Does anybody have any thoughts on this? Im not 100 percent sure this training method is correct or even sane, i'd just like to talk about it.

I did the same sort of thing but only with my right hand for about a year. Punching cardboard on doors then punching doors then metal. It gets less painfull but it takes a while. And it will definitly change what your knuckles look like.

I focused on the two small knuckles on the right hand and they became flater. No pointy edges but the bone build up between them so my knuckles on that side are pretty strong. I can pretty much hit anything with my right hand without it hurting too much. And I can do it repeatedly. It takes a lot of time though.

But I have heard many people say its bad. It will hurt you later in life. Arthritis and stuff. So its up to you, Im not really old enough yet for it to bother me so I am not sure.

It worked for me but everyone has a differing opinion.
