    Can you condition your body with bodychecks against a wall (slowly increasing speed over time for adaption) so that heavy blows from a car for example can't hurt you or will your organs still get damaged even though your bones are extremely hard ?

    Jesus no.

    You can condition your body to a degree to do a lot of things but there is a limit and even well conditioned things still break. For instance break falls make it easier to fall in sparring or kicking a heavy bag will toughen your shins up a little. Even then, legs still break under much less than stress than a car can apply.

    Please don't body check walls.

    The correct way to condition yourself against being hit by a car is to start by regularly prodding your shins with a hot wheels car, then a 1/72 scale car, then get a toddler to bash into you on a trike, then a kid on a bike, then a teenager on a chopper, then an adult on a scooter, then an adult on a segue, two adults in a shopping trolley, a pensioner on a mobility scooter and in the final stages a robin reliant, a VW bug and a beige ford escort with dice on the rear view mirror.
    Follow that ancient conditioning progression and you'll be able to take hits from cars going at least 2mph.

    There are something you can do against a car though. Stunt men and women will have to take hits but they have techniques that make it look worse than they are.

    Plus they wear a whole lot of impact reduction gear. Plus special effects :)

    Plus with all that sometimes they still get injured or even killed. :(

    I don't know man. Especially shins can get very very strong and definitely not by kicking heavy bags but by kicking something like steel pipes. Obviously you have to work your way up there and it will take some years and even if you can kick with full force against steel pipes you can go even further. Kicking against an edge would be some next level to take it to but that's not the topic. I asked many people and nobody could actually answer me if harder bones minimize internal damage from big blows. That big and dense muscles minimize internal damage should be clear but what about bones?
    I am talking especially about a harder rib cage here

    Okay but before we go any further I have to ask, what is the purpose of you asking these questions? I'm curious what your intentions are.

    So you asked and absolutely everyone is telling you no you can't. Now you are arguing you can anyways? Not even sure you are being serious in this thread, but if you are no amount of conditioning is going to prepare you to get hit with the sheer size and velocity of a car crashing into you.

    There is even a lot of argument about how effective vs how damaging more traditional conditioning is.

    Surely you didn't just say one can condition against a edge....................Please tell me I read that wrong. Because if you are, I am going to think you are trolling for sure. (Mod note: Trolling is also against our TOS.)

    Conditioning does NOT mean one can defy basic physics.

    Hey man, by all means, go for it. Try to condition yourself against a car hitting you. I would suggest you just have your will worked out ahead of time is all. :(

    I’d stick with hitting a heavy bag, as Pretty in Pink suggested.

    I wouldn’t hit anything harder, because of the risk of arthritis.

    A car weighs quite a lot. You can kick whatever you want with your shins, but a ton of something solid hitting you has a lot of energy behind it :)

    I basically want a strong body which can take a high energy hit without breaking but my problem is that I don't know if the body can adapt to it.
    The bones in the shoulder and upper arm will without a doubt become stronger from bodychecking a wall but what if these harder bones don't actually help protecting my organs and I just end up destroying myself internally?

    This guy didn't even have abs like todays strongman and still managed to take that cannonball.
    I don't know how he trained for it but this guy definitely had something what a professional strongman doesn't have.

    Okay.... but why? What is the ultimate purpose?

    There is no reason behind it.
    I just want to be strong

    Lift weights, do cardio, practise a sparring based matrial art, and emotionally engage with people.

    That's how you become stronger.
