You said previously that you gained some results in your zygos. Could you tell please at what age you started and how long it took you. Maybe you said it before but i looked through and couldn't find it.
Im 17, im doing it from one year
For my hands from punching a boxing bag and gardening ive seen mild remodelling on my hands. How long did it take for ur face from looking at studies on boxers it tends to show over 3 years they get around 10% thickening on certain areas.
Fighters try avoid getting hit in flights and it's at random places. Bone smashing is more precise and controlled. But my chuckles grew for sure from punching and so did my head from headbutting when I was younger
Ahaha yeah they try to avoid it, wouldn't say their very successful with that looking at their brain scans.
Also fighters get hit too hard not ideal. It can grow bone from inflammation but also can cause fractures and it's very very assymetical and random. In bone smashing you can minimize injury risk and keep adding inflammation and bruising in a controlled manner.
Yeah absolutely tbh tho u can see with most fighters while their bonemass looks uncanny and caveman like. It still tends to be resembly symmetrical.
Nigga just make a ultimate guide about both height and bonesmashing lmao you're so into this shit your guide would probably go to BoTB
His life is already over let him fix it or destroy it either way it doesn't matter
high iq post bhaiThe never-ending debate in this community has always been: Does bone smashing actually work? Unfortunately, when people try to prove it, they almost always rely on Wolff’s law. All that Wolff’s law states is that trabecular and cortical bone increase in density when exposed to mechanical stress (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK499863/). It never says anything about bones increasing in size as a result of trauma.
On the other side, those who argue that it doesn’t work usually bring up weak points as well, saying that bone only increases in density, not size, and that bones need controlled, physiological types of stress to adapt, such as chewing, running, or exercising, rather than random hits.
So in the end, whether it’s the people who believe bone smashing works or those who completely dismiss it, both sides usually end up presenting weak arguments.
So thats leave the question: does bone smashing actually work
this post will divide to Tow parts
So lets stast with the first part : science based explanation
- A scientific explanation of how it works.
- Real-life scientific evidence that proves its effectiveness.
In the beginning, when a bone is struck directly, small blood vessels known as subperiosteal capillaries can rupture. Once these vessels break, blood leaks out and forms what is called a subperiosteal hematoma. This condition causes the periosteum to lift away from the cortical bone, creating an inflammatory space between the cortical bone and the periosteum.
The periosteum itself has an inner layer called the cambium, which is very rich in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and immature osteoblasts. Under normal conditions this layer remains relatively inactive, but it quickly becomes activated when the periosteum is lifted away from the cortex.
This elevation of the periosteum triggers an increase in the expression of Runx2, TGF-β2, and the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. The activation of these pathways rapidly recruits immature osteoblasts to mature into active bone-forming cells, while also driving osteoprogenitor cells to differentiate into new osteoblasts. As a result, the hematoma that formed between the periosteum and the cortex begins to calcify, leading to the formation of a new bony layer.

Summary: When a bone receives a direct trauam, the blood vessels rupture, leading to the formation of a subperiosteal hematoma. This lifts the periosteum, and eventually the hematoma calcifies and transforms into new bone
So after reading this, ask yourself: isn’t the swelling and bulge caused by bone smashing the clearest evidence of its effectiveness according to bone biology? Luckily, the answer is: yes.
so now i will move to part 2 :
I will show alot of studies to prove my point, so get ready please.
Study #1
Bony hypertrophy of the forearm in bareback rodeo athletes - PubMed
There are significant anatomic differences in the grip arm of bareback rodeo athletes compared to the contralateral arm. In cases of persistent pain in the grip arm and no evidence of acute injury, these differences may be relevant to pain symptoms and should be considered as part of the...pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
This study examined professional bareback rodeo riders (without a saddle), showing extreme bone hypertrophy in the ulna. The hypertrophy results from direct trauma and impact with the hip bone. For perspective, some individuals had up to a 92% increase in bone diameter and a 268% increase in cross-sectional area, which is extremely unusual. The image in the study shows significant hypertrophy, though not the individual with nearly doubled bone diameter.
If anyone claims this hypertrophy is caused by muscle pull alone, that is incorrect. The main reason is direct trauma to the bone, supported by the following:
- Many other sports generate high torsional forces on the bone, but hypertrophy does not exceed 10% compared to rodeo riders, indicating torsion alone cannot explain the extreme growth. Direct trauma plays a key role.
- The hypertrophy occurs only in the area where the humerus contacts the hip bone, exactly at the point of contact and impact. This localized growth confirms direct pressure and trauma are the main causes.
- Hypertrophy was observed only in riders without a saddle, where the humerus presses directly against the hip. Saddles act as a barrier that reduces direct pressure and trauma, preventing bone growth.
- The large variation in hypertrophy between individuals is due to some using protective pads that reduce trauma, while others did not. This shows how protection affects trauma and the extent of hypertrophy.
- Significant hypertrophy is seen in bareback riders, but not in saddle riders, further supporting that direct trauma and impact are the main drivers of bone growth.

Study #2
https://reader.z-library.sk/read/bc...4f5ca2d25511e411cd99274aaa2a01e1e75af408e60e1
Honestly, this is personally my favorite study to prove the effectiveness of bone smashing. This study was conducted in 1980 on 60 participants, 37 of whom were professional riders without a saddle. Guess what? As I mentioned before, significant bone hypertrophy occurred only in those who practiced horseback riding without a saddle (I explained the reason before, because this type requires the rider’s ulna to hit and contact the hip). To understand more about this process that happens during the race, here is a direct quote from the study:
“On observing a contestant who is riding, the riding arm is noted to contact the anterior iliac crest and the heavily resined chaps (Fig. 3). The event requires strength, timing, balance, and courage. Ideally, the forearm should be tucked against the pelvis and chaps. Failure to maintain this position, resulting in hammering action of the forearm against pelvis and chaps.”
Oh my God, I can’t believe it, the scientists literally wrote “hammering action”! Who would believe this? Hammering movements on the bone cause severe bone hypertrophy. Wait, what does this remind you of? Yes, exactly the same thing you were trying to prove wrong, which is hammering your face. And luckily, the scientists also mentioned that bone hypertrophy occurred due to periosteal inflammation resulting from trauma to the bone. Yes, literally. You can look at the image below and you will notice severe bone hypertrophy at the place where the ulna hits the hip. Oh my God, all this hypertrophy happens in just an 8-second round!!! Just this very short time is enough to cause extreme bone growth. The answer is yes, lol

We hypothesized that repeated mTBI (rmTBI) would change the microstructure of cranial bones, without gross skull...www.nature.com
The scientists wanted to study the effect of direct impacts on bone shape in skull bones. They designed a device to deliver a direct impact to the bone. They applied the impact only twice (just two light hits) and measured after two weeks and after ten weeks. After two weeks, there was mild bone hypertrophy, but after ten weeks, there was severe and very clear bone hypertrophy. This shows that the effects on bone hypertrophy continued to increase even after only two impacts. The study also mentioned that bone hypertrophy could occur due to trauma.

Case Report: Ossified Subperiosteal Hematoma in the Humerus of a Lacrosse Player
clinmedjournals.org
A case report on a Lacrosse player (this sport requires direct contact with the opponent to gain possession of the ball). The player reported pain in the area left exposed “between his shoulder and elbow pads”. Because the area was exposed, it was subjected to direct trauma, which caused a subperiosteal hematoma. Then it calcified and became bone (visible on X-ray). Oh my God, this conclusively proves my theory!! I previously explained that direct trauma to the bone causes a hematoma by rupturing the blood vessels between the periosteum and the bone, lifting the periosteum and forming a subperiosteal hematoma, which then forms new bone, exactly like this case, as described literally by the scientists.
So doesn’t this perfectly match what happens in bone smashing???

Summary: When a bone receives a direct trauam, the blood vessels rupture, leading to the formation of a subperiosteal hematoma. This lifts the periosteum, and eventually the hematoma calcifies and transforms into new bone
So after reading this, ask yourself: isn’t the swelling and bulge caused by bone smashing the clearest evidence of its effectiveness according to bone biology? Luckily, the answer is: yes.
so now i will move to part 2 :
I will show alot of studies to prove my point, so get ready please.
Study #1
Bony hypertrophy of the forearm in bareback rodeo athletes - PubMed
There are significant anatomic differences in the grip arm of bareback rodeo athletes compared to the contralateral arm. In cases of persistent pain in the grip arm and no evidence of acute injury, these differences may be relevant to pain symptoms and should be considered as part of the...
This study examined professional bareback rodeo riders (without a saddle), showing extreme bone hypertrophy in the ulna. The hypertrophy results from direct trauma and impact with the hip bone. For perspective, some individuals had up to a 92% increase in bone diameter and a 268% increase in cross-sectional area, which is extremely unusual. The image in the study shows significant hypertrophy, though not the individual with nearly doubled bone diameter.
If anyone claims this hypertrophy is caused by muscle pull alone, that is incorrect. The main reason is direct trauma to the bone, supported by the following:
- Many other sports generate high torsional forces on the bone, but hypertrophy does not exceed 10% compared to rodeo riders, indicating torsion alone cannot explain the extreme growth. Direct trauma plays a key role.
- The hypertrophy occurs only in the area where the humerus contacts the hip bone, exactly at the point of contact and impact. This localized growth confirms direct pressure and trauma are the main causes.
- Hypertrophy was observed only in riders without a saddle, where the humerus presses directly against the hip. Saddles act as a barrier that reduces direct pressure and trauma, preventing bone growth.
- The large variation in hypertrophy between individuals is due to some using protective pads that reduce trauma, while others did not. This shows how protection affects trauma and the extent of hypertrophy.
- Significant hypertrophy is seen in bareback riders, but not in saddle riders, further supporting that direct trauma and impact are the main drivers of bone growth.

Study #2
https://reader.z-library.sk/read/bc...4f5ca2d25511e411cd99274aaa2a01e1e75af408e60e1
Honestly, this is personally my favorite study to prove the effectiveness of bone smashing. This study was conducted in 1980 on 60 participants, 37 of whom were professional riders without a saddle. Guess what? As I mentioned before, significant bone hypertrophy occurred only in those who practiced horseback riding without a saddle (I explained the reason before, because this type requires the rider’s ulna to hit and contact the hip). To understand more about this process that happens during the race, here is a direct quote from the study:
“On observing a contestant who is riding, the riding arm is noted to contact the anterior iliac crest and the heavily resined chaps (Fig. 3). The event requires strength, timing, balance, and courage. Ideally, the forearm should be tucked against the pelvis and chaps. Failure to maintain this position, resulting in hammering action of the forearm against pelvis and chaps.”
Oh my God, I can’t believe it, the scientists literally wrote “hammering action”! Who would believe this? Hammering movements on the bone cause severe bone hypertrophy. Wait, what does this remind you of? Yes, exactly the same thing you were trying to prove wrong, which is hammering your face. And luckily, the scientists also mentioned that bone hypertrophy occurred due to periosteal inflammation resulting from trauma to the bone. Yes, literally. You can look at the image below and you will notice severe bone hypertrophy at the place where the ulna hits the hip. Oh my God, all this hypertrophy happens in just an 8-second round!!! Just this very short time is enough to cause extreme bone growth. The answer is yes, lol

Localized, time-dependent responses of rat cranial bone to repeated mild traumatic brain injuries - Scientific Reports
While it is well-established that bone responds dynamically to mechanical loading, the effects of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) on cranial bone composition are unclear. We hypothesized that repeated mTBI (rmTBI) would change the microstructure of cranial bones, without gross skull...
The scientists wanted to study the effect of direct impacts on bone shape in skull bones. They designed a device to deliver a direct impact to the bone. They applied the impact only twice (just two light hits) and measured after two weeks and after ten weeks. After two weeks, there was mild bone hypertrophy, but after ten weeks, there was severe and very clear bone hypertrophy. This shows that the effects on bone hypertrophy continued to increase even after only two impacts. The study also mentioned that bone hypertrophy could occur due to trauma.

Case Report: Ossified Subperiosteal Hematoma in the Humerus of a Lacrosse Player
A case report on a Lacrosse player (this sport requires direct contact with the opponent to gain possession of the ball). The player reported pain in the area left exposed “between his shoulder and elbow pads”. Because the area was exposed, it was subjected to direct trauma, which caused a subperiosteal hematoma. Then it calcified and became bone (visible on X-ray). Oh my God, this conclusively proves my theory!! I previously explained that direct trauma to the bone causes a hematoma by rupturing the blood vessels between the periosteum and the bone, lifting the periosteum and forming a subperiosteal hematoma, which then forms new bone, exactly like this case, as described literally by the scientists.
So doesn’t this perfectly match what happens in bone smashing???

If you know the sport of sumo before, you will notice that participants hit each other directly. As a result, in two cases, bone hypertrophy occurred at the site of impact (as scientists mentioned verbatim due to “repeated micro trauma”). Even with a very high fat mass protecting the bones, some force still reached the bones and caused clear hypertrophy

I’m done. I believe the scientific explanation and the evidence are sufficient to conclusively prove the effectiveness of bone smashing. If you want to debate or think you have a chance to win an argument against me about whether bone smashing is effective or not, you can present your argument no one is stopping you, and I will respond to it. If you start presenting stupid arguments or try to make fun of this post, I will automatically consider you a person with a very low IQ, and I will not debate you
mirin but why do you sound like you are about to cum, panicking mid threadThe never-ending debate in this community has always been: Does bone smashing actually work? Unfortunately, when people try to prove it, they almost always rely on Wolff’s law. All that Wolff’s law states is that trabecular and cortical bone increase in density when exposed to mechanical stress (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK499863/). It never says anything about bones increasing in size as a result of trauma.
On the other side, those who argue that it doesn’t work usually bring up weak points as well, saying that bone only increases in density, not size, and that bones need controlled, physiological types of stress to adapt, such as chewing, running, or exercising, rather than random hits.
So in the end, whether it’s the people who believe bone smashing works or those who completely dismiss it, both sides usually end up presenting weak arguments.
So thats leave the question: does bone smashing actually work
this post will divide to Tow parts
So lets stast with the first part : science based explanation
- A scientific explanation of how it works.
- Real-life scientific evidence that proves its effectiveness.
In the beginning, when a bone is struck directly, small blood vessels known as subperiosteal capillaries can rupture. Once these vessels break, blood leaks out and forms what is called a subperiosteal hematoma. This condition causes the periosteum to lift away from the cortical bone, creating an inflammatory space between the cortical bone and the periosteum.
The periosteum itself has an inner layer called the cambium, which is very rich in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and immature osteoblasts. Under normal conditions this layer remains relatively inactive, but it quickly becomes activated when the periosteum is lifted away from the cortex.
This elevation of the periosteum triggers an increase in the expression of Runx2, TGF-β2, and the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. The activation of these pathways rapidly recruits immature osteoblasts to mature into active bone-forming cells, while also driving osteoprogenitor cells to differentiate into new osteoblasts. As a result, the hematoma that formed between the periosteum and the cortex begins to calcify, leading to the formation of a new bony layer.

Localized, time-dependent responses of rat cranial bone to repeated mild traumatic brain injuries - Scientific Reports
While it is well-established that bone responds dynamically to mechanical loading, the effects of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) on cranial bone composition are unclear. We hypothesized that repeated mTBI (rmTBI) would change the microstructure of cranial bones, without gross skull...
The scientists wanted to study the effect of direct impacts on bone shape in skull bones. They designed a device to deliver a direct impact to the bone. They applied the impact only twice (just two light hits) and measured after two weeks and after ten weeks. After two weeks, there was mild bone hypertrophy, but after ten weeks, there was severe and very clear bone hypertrophy. This shows that the effects on bone hypertrophy continued to increase even after only two impacts. The study also mentioned that bone hypertrophy could occur due to trauma.

Case Report: Ossified Subperiosteal Hematoma in the Humerus of a Lacrosse Player
A case report on a Lacrosse player (this sport requires direct contact with the opponent to gain possession of the ball). The player reported pain in the area left exposed “between his shoulder and elbow pads”. Because the area was exposed, it was subjected to direct trauma, which caused a subperiosteal hematoma. Then it calcified and became bone (visible on X-ray). Oh my God, this conclusively proves my theory!! I previously explained that direct trauma to the bone causes a hematoma by rupturing the blood vessels between the periosteum and the bone, lifting the periosteum and forming a subperiosteal hematoma, which then forms new bone, exactly like this case, as described literally by the scientists.
So doesn’t this perfectly match what happens in bone smashing???

I’m done. I believe the scientific explanation and the evidence are sufficient to conclusively prove the effectiveness of bone smashing. If you want to debate or think you have a chance to win an argument against me about whether bone smashing is effective or not, you can present your argument no one is stopping you, and I will respond to it. If you start presenting stupid arguments or try to make fun of this post, I will automatically consider you a person with a very low IQ, and I will not debate you
I started doing it in 2024, well im 15 im in puberty so thats why but I usually do it for like 10-20 minutes right before bed and the next day the "swelling" remains more and the effect lasts longer. It only depends how much you do it
your already assymetrical are you not? over time it’ll likely even out somewhat, as calcification may occur more greatly from one time period to another on one side, but later it may do the opposite.
So what is the correct way to bonesmash? The intensity reps , sets ..The never-ending debate in this community has always been: Does bone smashing actually work? Unfortunately, when people try to prove it, they almost always rely on Wolff’s law. All that Wolff’s law states is that trabecular and cortical bone increase in density when exposed to mechanical stress (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK499863/). It never says anything about bones increasing in size as a result of trauma.
On the other side, those who argue that it doesn’t work usually bring up weak points as well, saying that bone only increases in density, not size, and that bones need controlled, physiological types of stress to adapt, such as chewing, running, or exercising, rather than random hits.
So in the end, whether it’s the people who believe bone smashing works or those who completely dismiss it, both sides usually end up presenting weak arguments.
So thats leave the question: does bone smashing actually work
this post will divide to Tow parts
So lets stast with the first part : science based explanation
- A scientific explanation of how it works.
- Real-life scientific evidence that proves its effectiveness.
In the beginning, when a bone is struck directly, small blood vessels known as subperiosteal capillaries can rupture. Once these vessels break, blood leaks out and forms what is called a subperiosteal hematoma. This condition causes the periosteum to lift away from the cortical bone, creating an inflammatory space between the cortical bone and the periosteum.
The periosteum itself has an inner layer called the cambium, which is very rich in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and immature osteoblasts. Under normal conditions this layer remains relatively inactive, but it quickly becomes activated when the periosteum is lifted away from the cortex.
This elevation of the periosteum triggers an increase in the expression of Runx2, TGF-β2, and the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. The activation of these pathways rapidly recruits immature osteoblasts to mature into active bone-forming cells, while also driving osteoprogenitor cells to differentiate into new osteoblasts. As a result, the hematoma that formed between the periosteum and the cortex begins to calcify, leading to the formation of a new bony layer.

Summary: When a bone receives a direct trauam, the blood vessels rupture, leading to the formation of a subperiosteal hematoma. This lifts the periosteum, and eventually the hematoma calcifies and transforms into new bone
So after reading this, ask yourself: isn’t the swelling and bulge caused by bone smashing the clearest evidence of its effectiveness according to bone biology? Luckily, the answer is: yes.
so now i will move to part 2 :
I will show alot of studies to prove my point, so get ready please.
Study #1
Bony hypertrophy of the forearm in bareback rodeo athletes - PubMed
There are significant anatomic differences in the grip arm of bareback rodeo athletes compared to the contralateral arm. In cases of persistent pain in the grip arm and no evidence of acute injury, these differences may be relevant to pain symptoms and should be considered as part of the...
This study examined professional bareback rodeo riders (without a saddle), showing extreme bone hypertrophy in the ulna. The hypertrophy results from direct trauma and impact with the hip bone. For perspective, some individuals had up to a 92% increase in bone diameter and a 268% increase in cross-sectional area, which is extremely unusual. The image in the study shows significant hypertrophy, though not the individual with nearly doubled bone diameter.
If anyone claims this hypertrophy is caused by muscle pull alone, that is incorrect. The main reason is direct trauma to the bone, supported by the following:
- Many other sports generate high torsional forces on the bone, but hypertrophy does not exceed 10% compared to rodeo riders, indicating torsion alone cannot explain the extreme growth. Direct trauma plays a key role.
- The hypertrophy occurs only in the area where the humerus contacts the hip bone, exactly at the point of contact and impact. This localized growth confirms direct pressure and trauma are the main causes.
- Hypertrophy was observed only in riders without a saddle, where the humerus presses directly against the hip. Saddles act as a barrier that reduces direct pressure and trauma, preventing bone growth.
- The large variation in hypertrophy between individuals is due to some using protective pads that reduce trauma, while others did not. This shows how protection affects trauma and the extent of hypertrophy.
- Significant hypertrophy is seen in bareback riders, but not in saddle riders, further supporting that direct trauma and impact are the main drivers of bone growth.

Study #2
https://reader.z-library.sk/read/bc...4f5ca2d25511e411cd99274aaa2a01e1e75af408e60e1
Honestly, this is personally my favorite study to prove the effectiveness of bone smashing. This study was conducted in 1980 on 60 participants, 37 of whom were professional riders without a saddle. Guess what? As I mentioned before, significant bone hypertrophy occurred only in those who practiced horseback riding without a saddle (I explained the reason before, because this type requires the rider’s ulna to hit and contact the hip). To understand more about this process that happens during the race, here is a direct quote from the study:
“On observing a contestant who is riding, the riding arm is noted to contact the anterior iliac crest and the heavily resined chaps (Fig. 3). The event requires strength, timing, balance, and courage. Ideally, the forearm should be tucked against the pelvis and chaps. Failure to maintain this position, resulting in hammering action of the forearm against pelvis and chaps.”
Oh my God, I can’t believe it, the scientists literally wrote “hammering action”! Who would believe this? Hammering movements on the bone cause severe bone hypertrophy. Wait, what does this remind you of? Yes, exactly the same thing you were trying to prove wrong, which is hammering your face. And luckily, the scientists also mentioned that bone hypertrophy occurred due to periosteal inflammation resulting from trauma to the bone. Yes, literally. You can look at the image below and you will notice severe bone hypertrophy at the place where the ulna hits the hip. Oh my God, all this hypertrophy happens in just an 8-second round!!!

A 15-year-old child experienced direct trauma to his femur (yes, the scientists literally mentioned direct trauma). You can look at the image below, where you will find severe bone hypertrophy at the site of the direct trauma

Case Report: Ossified Subperiosteal Hematoma in the Humerus of a Lacrosse Player
A case report on a Lacrosse player (this sport requires direct contact with the opponent to gain possession of the ball). The player reported pain in the area left exposed “between his shoulder and elbow pads”. Because the area was exposed, it was subjected to direct trauma, which caused a subperiosteal hematoma. Then it calcified and became bone (visible on X-ray). Oh my God, this conclusively proves my theory!! I previously explained that direct trauma to the bone causes a hematoma by rupturing the blood vessels between the periosteum and the bone, lifting the periosteum and forming a subperiosteal hematoma, which then forms new bone, exactly like this case, as described literally by the scientists.
So doesn’t this perfectly match what happens in bone smashing???

On a 17-year-old football player, the ulna bone kept being exposed to direct trauma, scientists reported after a period swelling at the exact site of the injury, and they reported that the cause of this swelling is “repeated micro trauma.” You can look at the study to see the hypertrophy

Subperiosteal Hematoma of the Ankle - PMC
Periosteal reaction has a long list of differential diagnoses ranging from trauma, infection, metabolic disease to malignancy. The morphology of periosteal reaction shown in imaging studies helps to narrow down the list of differential diagnoses. A ...
A person fell and injured his ankle. Scientists reported very severe bone hypertrophy at the exact site of the injury, and the reason? Subperiosteal hematoma followed by calcification into bone (they mentioned this verbatim). Oh my God, this once again agrees with my statement that direct trauma to the bone causes a subperiosteal hematoma, which then calcifies and becomes bone. Another direct piece of evidence

Post-Traumatic Peripheral Giant Osteoma in the Frontal Bone - PMC
Osteomas are benign, slow-growing tumors that most frequently occur in the craniomaxillofacial region. These tumors are mostly asymptomatic and are generally found incidentally. A giant osteoma is generally considered to be greater than 30 mm in ...
A 35-year-old woman experienced a very severe injury to her frontal bone. After a period, X-rays showed very severe bone hypertrophy at the exact site of the injury. You can look at the study and you will see massive bone hypertrophy

Atypical Presentation of Non-Ossifying Fibroma in a Professional Muay Thai Boxer: A Case Report and a Narrative Review of the Literature - PMC
Sports injuries occur during sport athletic activities, or exercising. However, there are some lesions which are typically associated to sports, in such a demanding and physical sport like Muay Thai that no typical lesion has been detected yet. We ...
A Muay Thai boxer, her bone was exposed to direct micro trauma. X-rays show periosteal hypertrophy at the site exposed to the impact

If you know the sport of sumo before, you will notice that participants hit each other directly. As a result, in two cases, bone hypertrophy occurred at the site of impact (as scientists mentioned verbatim due to “repeated micro trauma”). Even with a very high fat mass protecting the bones, some force still reached the bones and caused clear hypertrophy

I do not know exactly what sport this is, but the athlete repeatedly hits the bone of his foot. You can look at the image below and you will see very severe bone hypertrophy, perhaps even double the bone, especially in the fibulaView attachment 4165594
I’m done. I believe the scientific explanation and the evidence are sufficient to conclusively prove the effectiveness of bone smashing. If you want to debate or think you have a chance to win an argument against me about whether bone smashing is effective or not, you can present your argument no one is stopping you, and I will respond to it. If you start presenting stupid arguments or try to make fun of this post, I will automatically consider you a person with a very low IQ, and I will not debate you
ok I'm guessing you have probably seen Blake speaks make a video about your thread. I was wondering many times a day you would have to bone smash to keep these hematomas. Like what exactly do you do and what are you doing to double the results.
