toughening ribs

i've got bruised ribs at the moment.....hurts when i breath, or lean back cant even sleep on my left side lol ****in boxin!

 

How about you practice blocking them.

 

Close thread.

 

Okay here's the science to toughening your ribs, first of all you want to drink alot of milk for the calcium, secondly get a buddy to drop some decent sized cement bricks on your ribs until they break, they'll repair at super-strength, believe me it works. If a lung gets punctured during the process, don't worry about that **** neither, it'll repair itself to super-strength aswell so it's actually a good thing, aim for punctured lungs :good Remember no pain, no gain.

 

Hit them with a hammer. Toughens the ribs and makes you a man.

 

Take the pain like a man you ****ing *****atsch

 

Milk, people say that it makes bones stronger so it might help your ribs. Haven't seen you in a while Young

 

With excellent calcium intake, along with phosphorus, Vitamin D etc it'd take ten years (ages 20-30) for your entire skeletal system to gain about 800grams, I can't imagine much of that nominal increase in bone density is going to strengthen the ribs to any degree.

Apparently steroids increase bone density though

 

hit it with a hammer..........

In all honesty, strengthen your core as much as possible and improve your body defense. I don't think there's a "silver bullet" to improving the body's ability to take bodyshots, but general toughening of the midsection and tightening of the defense can't hurt.

I would STRONGY advise against any kind of impact-related training - repeated bodyshots, medicine ball drops, crazy **** with hammers, etc. The chances of being hurt are huge, and I really don't think the average boxer should risk it.

The last thing you need is a punctured lung or a couple of cracked ribs.

 

dropping a medicine ball, sit ups or ne core exercise, giving urself a few punches to them occassionaly
