(I posted this over on the MA board yesterday, and still not a single response. ANY help is appreciated.)
I recently read Ken Shamrock's book, "Inside the Lion's Den", and in it he mentions that newer students at his school are made to do 1000 naked (no weight) squats a day, every day. That's right, sore as hell, and still working the same muscle. He referred to it as a process called "Callousing".
Now, I am not a professional fighter, and I really don't care much about Shamrock's fighting system, or how your own may be superior to it. What I am looking for is someone to back up, discredit or otherwise explain this thing called callousing.
Is this what military boot camp is? And where does "overtraining" enter into the equation?
