Alright, i'm looking to get explosive power

[Bedlam]

Haha wow thanks for all the replies guys. I'll for sure look into plyometrics. I don't do isolated lifts, I do compound lifts. Compound lifts involve many musles to complete the lift, so i'm good there. Thanks a lot for the replies again guys, i'll for sure be doing some reading over the weekend.

explosive power is not taught,you either have it or you dont,you can work on techniques to make your punches more coordinated,also get rid of the russian twist and start using the american waltz

Dammit man; I thought this idiot got banned, since I hadn't seen **** from you in while. Do us a favor and disappear again.

you have to be born with the power you want.you can train as much as you want but power is born in you.just like the guy on my left

I disagree, Mortal Kombat is a very good game, but I think Donkey Kong is the best game ever.

1) to a degree power is genetic. naturally stocky or fast guys tend to be able to hit pretty hard.

2) you can increase your natural power no matter what it is by increasing maximal strength. it is FACT that heavy lifitng is needed to stimulate the fast twitch muscle fibres. a program like stronglifts ( http://www.stronglifts.com ) will help maximal strength. To increase your power more specifically for punching add in some clean+jerks (single dumbell) and plenty of core twists. for anything I've missed check http://www.rossboxing.com

Um... NO XPlODE obviosly

I do think for the most part that power is born but for someone that can't hit too hard; great technique and weight behind punches can do a lot.

Power comes from your back muscles. Broad back means you will have power. Be sure to stretch your arms and shoulders alot, the kinetic energy will travel more smoothly through relaxed, flexible limbs. Be sure to plant your feet and bend your knees slightly, kinetic energy will come up through the floor, into your quads, around to your back, and expload out through your fist.



You are NOT born with power. Power is made not created. Bruce Lee was an unhealthy, soft belly. Started training his ass off in his early twenties and could knock a man twice his weight off his feet.

Alexis Arguello. Skinny as fuck, thin. Yet he earned the nickname "El Flaco Explosivo". The thin explosive man. He trained his ass off in central american mountains.

Tommy Hearns skinny, thin arms, thin legs, real 80s b-ball player. Yet because of his broad back and leverage, he was able to generate devestating power.

Hozumi Hasegawa. Skinny dude, if you see him train you would sit there and think "WTF? ***** punches?" then you check my sig. Dude has knocked blocks off of people who have never been knocked out before.


Specific hard work will get you what you want. Combine that with proper technique, it's a dondada.
