Flexibility? Not likely. Unless you were actually so inflexible, that you couldn't perform a punch with proper technique, that is. I've yet to see anybody without injuries, who didn't have the flexibility to throw punches. The motions in a punch are pretty compact, and well within the range of normal flexibility, and being more flexible than what is needed for a certain motion is not necessarily a good thing.

Also, the whole "weights make you inflexible" thing is so out of proportion it's ridiculous. In fact, a lot of the time people become more flexible when they start doing compound movements, with a good teacher. When I start someone on squats, 95 out of a 100 have difficulty with reaching a proper squat depth. 100 out of a 100 will be more flexible in their squat depth after a month or two. Sometimes strength doesn't hinder mobility, it promotes it.Comment

Not really flexibility per se but maybe being looser. Like my back muscles arent fighting the out portion of the punch and vice versa. Thats what I meant.Comment
