Does anyone have any first hand experience of what drills/excersises actually improves your punching endurance and the length you can punch full out for.

It's just that I've been doing tons of press-ups, pull ups, dips, situps, rowing, etc.etc. And I'm just not sure, lacking advice, that it is making my punching endurance any better? Can anyone confirm if they do?

Also, does anyone have any drills/excersises that have proven brilliant for improving punching endurance THAT ARENT BAG RELATED. Ofcourse, I do tons of bagwork but I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do at home to improve the length I can punch for.

Pretty confusing I know, If you have any answers dont hesitate. ;)

punchin endurance doesnt make that much sense but i think u mean stamina and endurance i suppose for stamina and endurance would be runnning.

first, endurance & stanima r the same thing which is energy or how long u can last, so there is no such thing as punch endurance but there is punching power. usaully u r born with punching power & can improve it 2 a certain degree. weights r your best bet....

i think people often forget the obvious
how do you improve anything?
repitition, practice, repitition - assuming you have the knowledge and ability in place to improve.
if you are unsure of your punching technique, talk to your coach.
just practice on the bag 2min on, 1 min off and youll be lasting longer in no time; the answer is the same as getting better at sex, practice

The only way to improver PUNCHING ENDURANCE is to get on the bag and punch, duh. Everybody always looks for the shortcuts, there aren't. When you get on the bag, get tired, don't get into a staring match with it. Try throwing hundreds of punches in a 3 minute round. There are, however, certain ways to help you improve:

1. Shadowbox with weights. Start out wit 3 pounders, do 1 round in the beginning to warm up, then do 2 more without weights.....SPEED and a lot of punches. Sometimes do it after your bag work as a workout, speed and volume. You'll feel a difference withing a few weeks not only in the way the bag sounds, but your endurance will increase too.
2. Proper form. If your doing a lot of arm punching youll get tired quicker. Use your shoulders, and punch with the twist.
3. Loosen up. If your tight your gonna get tired faster. When your loose your exerting less energy and punching harder and faster.
4. Hard work

And get 3 pound weights when your at home, when you get bored, use them.

Above all, don't lose your technique

Thats brilliant, thanks.

And haha, I knew what I meant by PUNCHING ENDURANCE ;) But what I mean is there's a difference in having the stamina to run for 25 miles and the stamina to punch for 12 rounds.. So stamina/endurance doesnt quite cover it.

Well yeah of course. It's the same difference between sparring 12 rounds and hitting the bag for 12 rounds. If you spar a lot and dont hit the bags, when you get on the bags your gonna get tired. If you hit hte bag a lot and don't spar when you spar your gonna be even more tired. You use your muscles in different ways. In order to be the most effective, find an even balance, you must.

I just ordered a SPRI Heavy resistance band (purple) from amazon.com for $9.50 after trying it out at big5sporting goods, if you rate and check I own this item for another SPRI band, then they put the purple heavy resistance as a favorite for you and tomorrow or day after you can buy it for 50cents cheaper in your quick picks. Anyways, I have a cheap resistance band and have been doing all sorts of exercises with the arms and I feel alot faster and stronger when punching the heavy bag. Hope that helps.

olympic drills/punchout drills on the heavy bag are best for building punching stamina imo. It teaches you to work through the lactate build up in your muscles. My routine is

1-2 combination on the heavy bag, as many punches as possible at head height for

60 seconds followed by 10 pushups
30 seconds followed by 10 pushups
15 seconds followed by 10 pushups.

I do this routine 3 times over the course of a work out. Highly effective

Focus on speed and power

Nice mate, howmuch time you rest in between the 3 sets? Got any other bodyweight or heavybag routines aswell? :)

I'll work out for an hour and just stagger those 3 sets over over that period. Always make sure I make one my very last set of the workout though. Its a great way to finish.

As far as heavy bag routines go, you could do something like this

1 x punchout drill (discussed in previous post)
3 x 3mins focus on technique
3 x 1min focus on power
3 x 3min normal (combos movement etc, just like you would in a fight)
1 x punchout drill

each set followed by 10 pushups on your knuckles then 30 seconds rest. THat should work up a sweat. Speed bag and double end bag or also importnant tools you should be using in an overall bag workout
