Just wondering if anyone has actively worked on toughening your hand and knuckles.
I wonder if there is any value to doing this (I think there is) and any long term issues with doing it.
Lately, when I am not at the boxing gym, but the normal one, I will go and bang the bag while I trying to warm up (along with stretching, etc) to lift weights.
I am enjoying the thuds along with knuckles turning a bit red - somehow it feels very barbaric but I enjoy it. Luckily, from boxing, the skin on my knuckles don't rip or bleed. I did experience that 18 months ago when I started boxing (one day I was fucking around and paid the price).
I know I need to be careful since my hands are not wrapped.
Anyone done anything to toughen your hands?
Thanks.
