From my experience i would say i'm getting more familliar with pain and just registering it less rather than actually having any gains. I think i will be stopping it from now on . Maybe i shouldn't have continued after i started feeling pain ? Will see if the pain stop or will go to the doctors. Anyway thoughts ?

EDIT : Gentleman/woman i am pleased to announce the pain has completely ceased to exist and seems like i hadn't suffered any damage and gotta say thanks for your concern lemmy .

Also what about the chinese guys beating up wood if there is no gain why are they doing that ?

I've done this for years due to drunken rage. I probably have a ton of poorly healed hair line fractures in my right hand. This last time, I feel I've done permanent damage to my wrist, it just aches is certain positions. I have since bought a punching bag and filled it with shredded memory foam with rice at the bottom for weight. The only "positive" thing I have gained is the ability to punch hard enough to hurt myself. Don't punch walls, doors, hard surfaces in general. In my experience they always win that fight.

Edit: I suck at typing
