2 questions regarding punching power...

[kirk]

1 - i havnt done sit ups in like 2 years.... lately i have started twisting tyson like into my hooks, and was wondering, if i started doing a good amount of sit ups, building those core muscles, would it not be a given that my punching power increases a bit? due to the extra torque, speed, power ill be able to put behind it? or no?

2 - I have never in my life worked my legs... in gym class i always dogged it for benching or curls, i notice tyson, trinidad, ect, all have huge legs.... if i start doing squats and cleans.... would it not then be a given that my power will increase a little?

between these two things, say about two or three months.... i find it hard to believe that my punches wont be more powerful.

your thoughts?

Squats I think might help a bit, strong legs and lower body are important for punching power because that's where a punch starts and it helps you drive into it. Having a strong core would help for that as well, being able to get a big more when you turn your body into a punch.

"...say two or three months...."

Say two or three years and say it very loudly. Anybody who thinks they can reach their potential after a few months is seriously deluded.

[stuey]

twists using the medicine ball etc are a great way to increase power. go do it kurt son.

[joekirkbycobra]

speed * strength = power doing core and leg excercises especially legs is vital and the way to acheive the explosiveness you need make sure you do everything fast

[average_joe]

Ofcourse... the stronger you are, the more powerful your punches will be as long as form is right. Focus on plyometric exercises to maximize power and speed gains.

[Smith]

Squats/leg work are essential. Essential. No power in your legs is only using your capabilities in boxing 40%.

try 2-3 weeks ul notice a difference if ur on a good routine.
do squats and deadlifts for legs. and for core def do russian twists and full contact twists

[Rakim]

Squats and deadlifts will sort your legs out. If you're after strength, do 5 sets of 5 reps with squats (if you get the weight just right, you'll be struggling to finish the 5th set).

thanks guys... appreciate it. im def gonna be working on these.

Are you also doing training down at TCB now, or whatnot? Sounds like you're getting back into it.

Yeah, it is a tad bit of a drive, 7 hours or so...the Inland Northwest Tournament should be in Spokane in March though, so I might be entering that and be there (depends, I don't like fighting in Spokane). But if you ever want to come out to train our way shoot me a PM and you're more than welcome to stay a few days, go through our work outs with us and everything (we do 3 days a week, Tues. Weds. Thurs.) and I work out outside those days anyway.

Hi Kirk! all those excercises will increase your body strength and punching power as long as you keep doing boxing training also. But don't skip the other muscle groups that you liked to work before. Work all muscles if you're gonna do weight lifting. transform all muscles from feet to fist into one monster muscle that you hit your opponent on the chin with. having strong legs will give you more punching power if you throw your punches correctly because the power starts from the legs. You don't need to grow huge legs, just make sure they are strong, it will also help you stand up to punches better. But remember, work your other muscle groups aswell.

Kolya is probably one of the few who actually trains, the rest of these nerdies just talk about it.
