Red5angel, not to make fun of what you said but what book told you that!!! that has got to be the worst explaination of training that I have ever heard. Please give me the book title and author so I can contact him. If you can ever believe what you read that book should not be one of them. I practice iron palm from one of brain greys top students and have never ever heard of such terrible instructions to be followed in all my life. When you perform breaks with iron palm you are breaking with chi not with force. When you have iron palm your hand is not scarred dissfigured or even calloused. proper training prevents this from happening.
Please give me the name and author so I can tell him what I think of his book. thanks your freind E.D
