Can someone explain to me how Pacquiao never breaks his hands?

[hectari]

The bag he is hitting can be 100 or even the 150 pounders ,I had the same bag but its hard to tell without seeing the full picture from a distance. Hes not exactly going thru the bag he is hitting it with speed and is also punching down which generates stronger punches and is far easier. The bag is also hung very high which takes away the weight of the actual bag. Uif you were to hang it 6 inches from the ceilieng with the bottom chained to the floor he would be meeting far greater impact and be able to actually wqork on direct power more. I hit 150 pound 6'0 Muay thai bags that are described like I said and the power is way beyond this and can not be replicated unless someone would be holding that bag for him because of how the bag is more lower which makes more gravity to push and force against you. More bag swing equals easier punching because hitting a stable target that doesn't move is going to be heavier resistance ,this is a common mistake for most gyms that hang their bags as much as 20 feet high ive seen ,it defeats the perpose really,a gym should always have a low hanging bag for power purposes.




Also the bag itself is replicated to mimick the human body ....it absorbs the power better and allows you to drive into it more. Mike Tyson used specially made bags like that when they weren't around,he had them custom made.


On breaking hands.....a person will break a hand USUALLY by not having stong wrists/forearms because that is what supports the fist and helps absorb the energy coming back at you through the arm. also having hand out of line with the wrist is never a good thing.

P.s I broke this title 150 pound bag in half about 6 months in to developing power...these bags are great quality too,soft texture with give way yet never lose shape ,meaning it will let you throw full throttle will less likelihood of injury than the old fashioned less quality leather bags from yester year.

I am confident this bag is at least 100 pound bag maybe even 140/150 pounds is what it looks like,i know my bags!

Its 100 pounds, but dang man you broke the 150 pound bag in half wtf lol

Its 100 pounds, but dang man you broke the 150 pound bag in half wtf lol

Its hard to tell with black titlist bags even the 100s are thickly put together ...yes and i hit even harder now im capable of denting the bottom of the old school everlast bags with no cusion absorbtion on the bottom that feels like cement in under 10 punches ,i will have a vid up when my shoulders are 100% ,i have put perminant dents in those Muay thai bags that usually are done with world class kickers ,we have Muay thai champs there as well who leg kicks cant hit harder than my arms , i will post the vid by mid october doing some boxing stuff some genuinely wanted to see one and some think they are going to to have trolling material who are going to have a reality check,they need one ! .

For those talking about "breaking bones", that's not really going to happen on a heavy bag, barring a freak accident. What happens are tendon issues like "boxer's knuckle" and such. Some are prone to arthritic type pain as well.
You CAN wreck your hands on a heavy bag when using proper technique. Not everyone has the same physical structure and slamming the fist into a stationary object isn't something we're particularly well equipped to do (hence the gloves). Those who don't have any issues won't bother to try to understand it but it's a real thing for many.

I think maybe the shoulder issues are more prevalent ton the heavybag.

I know hen I hit it full blast while it swung back at me it hurt my wrist and shoulder.

Yea, they absolutely are. When you hit an opponent, they move and buckle. Heavy bag don't give a fk. Also, because we tend to swing much harder at the bag than we do an opponent (because the bag isn't going to slip out punch and we don't have to worry as much about balance) it leaves the shoulder susceptible.
Wrists as well, because a lot of people don't wrap their wrists well enough and training gloves tend to flex at the wrist (which is why I prefer laces).

This dude is a monster on the heavybag, other boxers do not do full blast punches on the bag with 10 oz gloves like that. He also likes punching at the lower end of the bag which is the hardest part its like concrete.

The most I ever seen him get hurt on the hand was swelling from bad wraps but his bones were not broken.

for a little guy he must have some hard ass bones

Message me when you do please. I'm a fellow power enthusiast I've worked on it for years.

Like many others said it probably because of his bones. I remember when I started boxing, first 2 or 3 months my knuckles were aching like crazy but since than I got used to it. In my gym I prefer to work on the heaviest bag, I don't know how heavy it is but it's the hardest and the heaviest bag in the gym, really super hard, but I prefer to work on it because it doesn't swing a lot and I love to throw full power combos, it swings a lot less than any other bag there. As long as I punch it with a proper technique there's no problems, altrough I still feel it on my knuckles because the bag is so fucking hard. But sometimes when I throw a left hook with my wrist being straight instead of slightly bending it like I'm supposed to, it hurts a lot, so much that I have to yell. I was always able to continue immediately after that split second of a great pain as if nothing happened and luckily I've never broke my wrist. It's a big luck knowing how hard the bag is. But like I said it's my fault, it happens when I get careless and throw a left hook without slightly bending my wrist as I'm supposed to when punching.

Was that a typo? You can really fk up your wrist throwing hooks with it bent. Keep your wrist straight and contact with the knuckle.
Always keep your knuckles lined-up with your forearm and strike with the knuckles. That's part of what your wraps are trying to help you do.

He only breaks his shoulders fam.
