alright, i know i'll probably sound like a pussy for this, but i'm going to anyway. My friend broke his shin recently, about 6 weeks ago i think. it happened mainly because of a gradual wearing down of his shin muscles from landing backseat and shinbang, etc. to the point where he didn't have much but bone there and took one impact too many. anyway, i was wondering if there was any way to strength train my shins (???). I figure this will help them be more resistant to shinbang for one, and keep me from breaking my shin in the same way in the future.
now to anyone who says "man the fuck up and don't land backseat and you won't get shinbang," I will give minus K (oooh big threat i know). I know the only cure for shinbang is to not suck and land like a pro. but as we all know, shinbang sucks and can ruin a vacation, and a broken shin can ruin a season, so don't give me shit. if there is anything i can do to reduce shinbang and the risk of shin break, i'll do it.
also, someone told me i can write my name with my feet in the air and this strengthens the muscles in the shin. true? Thanks for all helpful responses
