If you’ve ever seen a video of someone rolling a glass bottle on their shins or kicking a metal pole and thought, “Is this what I have to do to be a real fighter?”... this episode is for you.

We’re parking the mythology and the "medieval" advice today. Shin conditioning isn't about "killing your nerves" or being a brute. It’s about being a scientist.

In this episode, I break down the actual biological processes behind building durable shins. We dive into the three-part system of durability: denser bones (Wolff’s Law), quieter nerves (desensitization), and your "hidden helper".

We cover:

-The "Nerve Death" Myth: Why losing sensation is a career-ending danger, not a goal.

-Myths vs. Reality: Why rolling pins and glass bottles are a waste of your time and recovery energy.

-The Gold Standards: How the heavy bag, running, and strength training actually build "fighting bones."

-The "Red Light" vs. "Green Light" Diagnostic: How to tell the difference between healthy adaptation and a looming stress fracture.
