Bruce Lee would train his hands every day; this was a result of punching into the pads he had nailed to the wall of his fence in his back yard, which he did to increase the toughness and resilience of his knuckles. He had several pads, each one filled with different kinds of material: one filled with sand, another filled with sawdust, and so on...
One story goes like this: Chuck Norris came over one time (they would workout and train together often) and asked Bruce what was in the pads. Without saying anything, Bruce punched one bag really hard and wasn’t fazed at all. He then said to Chuck: “Ok, now you try it.”
Chuck punched it as hard as he could and screamed out in pain. Bruce started laughing hysterically. Chuck asked Bruce: “What the hell is in it?” Bruce smiling replied: “Metal shavings!”
