I am planing on conditioning for iron palm starting this summer. My master has suggested a technique and I just wanted to hear some other options for training. The one I will start involves, basicly, dropping my hands onto cinder blocks. Anyone know any other options, or maybe some tips or suppliments? I just want to see whats out their.

If you can get yourself a barrel (or just a large bucket whose rim is it waist level) and fill it with sand. This is the best training tool for moving slowly and safely into iron palm training. Throw punches into the sand and as your hands get stronger, replace the sand with thicker sand, and eventually small pebbles. Once you can throw punches deep into a barrel full of pebbles and small rocks (without seriously hurting yourself) you're doing really good. Remember, gradually increase the grain size of the sand you're working with. Gradual is the key to successful iron palm/body training. At least, if you dont want to be very very bloody at the begining.Show me a man who has forgotten words, so that I can have a word with him.

Don't be a moron.
Find a qualified teacher...if you feel like he might not be qualified don't do it under his instruction. Cruising websites is not the smartest thing to do for this, it's not like you're looking for a recipe for eggs benedict, these are your hands (fists?) and you should be careful."Arhat, I am your father..."

listen to Arhat, he is right in this one. Don't forget there are a number of different ways for Iron Palm.
Also, for the Dit Da Jow, go in the Chinese Medecine section, I posted something there in regards to this.
Maestro, thanks for the compliment, but I do not know everything, I probably never will. Just one comment: The calluses are not the issue, but Arthritis will be, if you mess up your hands.

Uwe is absolutely correct. I would be very careful with this iron palm training. If not done correctly and slowly, the resultant arthritis you'll get when you're older will be crippling. The appearance of the hands on some of these practitioners is just damn awful, grotesque knuckles, deformed fingers, it's pretty bad. Anybody that's punching a barrel full of rocks is just looking for trouble.Experienced Community organizer. Yeah, let's choose him to run the free world. It will be historic.

dit da
I asked my master once if a recipe for dit da jow I had found was a good one. He looked it over for a few seconds and then asked me what it was for. I told him it was for sore muscles and not to be ingested. He alterred some of the ingredients and told me how to prepare it. He mentioned a few times that if it was for iron palm it would have to be different. He said at a later time that iron palm training involved hitting different substances with an open palm for set periods of time and then soaking your hands in the dit da jow. He said that it should be heated when you soak your hands.
Mind you this was a couple of years ago so I may be misremembering exactly what he said. But I would find someone who can teach you this and not just anyone. We have all seen the hands of the Iron Fist. Not to attractive although impressive. The guy just punches a metal slab hundreds of times a day. Trust me , his hand looks like it. I have seen other masters who demo iron fist and they have no noticable deformities. It is just the way that you train.

...get yourself some hair horns and some birds and then we'll talk...and quit exposing your crotch, even when you sit down. It's insulting to one of my status whenever I astrally project I always manage to catch that shot. It pisses Guan Yin off too, just so you know."Arhat, I am your father..."
