Methods of conditioning your shins
Hello everybody,
I was wondering if anybody had any good methods to condition their shins, I have tried researching the internet but have had no joy.
I was also wondering if anyone knows if it is physically bad to condition your shins, often mine will hurt for 1-2 days after training - is this normal and more importantly will it lead to long-term damage or simply stronger shins?
Thank you very much for any help anyone gives!
Shins no good for blocking? naa
Ok, here I have a question for ya Sam,
Why is it that you think shins are not for blockin???
As I played soccer for 7 yrs, and no not just freindly rec leagues, and well most of the guys I played with had increadibly strong shins. I played from 9-16 yrs old. Also our coach for the last three years was a former coach in the semi-pro leagues in mexico, and if you know much about Mexico(and many other nations) soccer isnt viewed as a little thing.
If you know much about soccer you'll know the shins are used extensively, not that one should but foul play and the 'americian' way of playing the player and not the ball come into effect.
Also I've noticed that in the last two years alone, I'm now 18, I havent done anything to condition my shins and they are increadibly sensitive, to the point of being disgraceful. And just recently I've been doing stuff to counter the sensitivity.
Well, enough for now.
btw, no I'm not hispanic, i'm just about as white...well nevermind the sarcasm as ppls seem to get overly sensitive(yes, pun intended)
