My shin has been hurting since I started throwing passes with punch fronts. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong or a way to ease the pain?
Shin splints. It's when there's pressure or pulling on the tissues that connect the muscles to your tibia (shin bone). Make sure you ice them and rest for a few days.
I got my punch front before my back handspring (don't ask how that happened) and the first time I went to Woodward I didn't have a back handspring yet, so during open gyms I didn't wanna wait in line for spots on handsprings, so I did punch fronts for like 3 hours a day. By the last day of camp, I couldn't even do a roundoff because my shin splints got so bad. I never do punch fronts anymore because they hurt so bad. Just make sure you ice them every day!!
