shin / leg conditioning
hi hope this thread hasnt been done to death

i started training about 6 months ago , have completely fallen in love with muay thai now,

im hoping to progress and have a c class fight in the next 6 month to a year ,

iv just bought a fairtex banana bag , the best way of shin conditioning is just to kick bag and thai pads till the cows come home yeah ?

iv also started hitting my shins with a rubber mallet , i figured this is ok as the mallet is softer than my bone

in regards to rolling thing down your shin is this bad practice in every case , even with plastic bottle to roll out lumps ? i normally heal really quickly but shin

after an interclub i had a big lump come up on my shin like golf ball a polish guy massaged it out with his whole weight on his knuckles this was absolute agony, is that a good or bad thing to do ?

i guess the best thing for recovery is rest (r.i.c.e)troble is im too addicted cant stop training ,

ok one last thing , i seem to constantly have a dead leg from low kicks , is the anyway to toughen up your thighs ,i used 2 do weight traing but found it limeted the amout of days i could train muay thai a week,
maybe i should do more running , or just improve my block , hehe

any help with the points raised here would be greatly appreciated

thanks B)
