The post is the statement, here are my reasons to back it up: we are talking about punches here, not pushes. short, fast abrupt and strong impacts designed to peircing the bodies natural defense (bracing)
1). It's never happened, every fighter was a better puncher at a lighter weight. (straight logic here) given they are fully grown
2). A punch is about velocity and weight of the object (fist/wrist). You can't make your muscles bigger to improve this. It doesn't work like that.
The only way to become a harder puncher by getting heavier is by growing naturally, through bone structure and actual muscles + tendons. like a teenager does when he becomes a man.
You can condition your muscles to be well used and strong, but once you bulk you start losing velocity, mobility and dexterity because it's not natural to your body. Once again, never has this been done before so let's stop pretending it's a thing.
Size is determined by your natural bone structure and musculature. Not by how big your make your legs' from squatting, or biceps from curling. This is purely aesthetics.
making yourself stronger at your natural weight is a different story all together. Any type of MASS or "put on" muscle will never increase your power, ever.
When someone lifts weights in the gym for years, and their muscles eventually grow, it's the body's way of adapting to the environment it's being put through. Standing around and lifting heavy things tells your body it needs to build muscle. Sprinters get the same thing.
Why would you ever do this in boxing? we had 100's of years saying don't do this, and only in this era do they all of a sudden become "modern conditioning" being told to us by strength and conditioning coaches with Kin degrees but 0 degree in boxing. Why do people play along with this joke?
You never see Mayweather touching weights, he grew up around all great fighters. He did it right. But he's wrong??
come on people have faith in your own observation.
