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 ?

Tldr: a little stress is good for you. Encourages your body to adapt. A lot of stress is bad for you

So punch walls softer now ?

If you must punch something, a punching bag is a good place to start. Punching a hard object might encourage fractures.

Think about it like weightlifting. You don't want to try to lift a thousand kg at once. You find your limit, you push it a little bit, you give your body time to recover etc

Yeah might have to get one of them.
