I wasn't sure where to post this, either here or in the solo drills forum. I guess i'll let the moderators decide.

We know that in order to do damage, we need to have the proper set up and techniques, but we also need the weapon ie: our hands,feet,arms etc.... We need these weapons to be as damaging as possible to inflict as much pain as possible to end the conflict.

Just curious as to what methods do you guys use to strengthen/condition your limbs?

For starters, i use a 10lb weight tied to a foot long pole by a rope. I stand in horse with my arms outstreched while holding the pole and then begin turning it until the weight comes up. I do this until my arms can't handle it anymore. I also open and close my hands until it's just too painful to do it anymore.

I do a ton of equipment training and swear by it when there are not people around to bang on. Some things that I find very productive:

Hitting hanging bags with fists, elbows, shins, knees, palms, etc.
Heavy bag work
Sam Sing, drills, and freestyle movements on the wooden dummy
Holding pushups on the fists, palms, etc, using gravity to put pressure along the line of force that the strike would use.

I will see if others bite on this one

Since I am still struggling to find time to train outside of the school, I have now started banging my forearms against each other during peak hour traffic driving to/from work, haha.
I am sitting in traffic doing nothing anyway, might as well do something useful.

Saam sing I also have a iron tube I loosely hit the forearms with daily. And the usual such as pushups etc.
