for more power

Wrong. You should always think about reversing a punch, and get it back to your guard. That doesn't creat tension, that creates SNAP.

yes but if you have a weight in your hand you are gonna start reversing it sooner or hyperextend your elbow!

Hyperextend your elbow on an uppercut?? How the hell do you even straighten your arm all the way on an uppercut? Even on a straight punch, it's not a problem as long as you turn your hand properly. You'd know this if you ever tried it, of course.

hmmm explosive? anyone have any explosive programs??? thankyou!

yeah man ill make one up hold on

[mayweather]

for explosiveness try something like this

deadlifts
jump squats
powercleans
hang cleans
push press

do all of those lifts with sort of a, linear 5 x 5 template.

so lets say if your 5 rep max for a lift is 200 lbs, start with 150 for 5 reps
the next set is 170 for 5 reps
then do your 3 work sets with 200 for 5 reps each

good luck with your strenght and explosivness
this is a strength/explosive workout you will not see many gains with hypertrophy by using 5 x 5

any more questions just ask

yeah man if you have access to a squat rack with enough weight like at a gym then you can do it. i didnt mean specifically do those weights. that was just sort of a way to show the ratio of your work sets to your warm up sets
dont feel overwhelmed this is a pretty simple routine that somebody could do i didnt go to complex cus it sounds like you dont lift too much

any questions or things you are interested in please ask

i was using an uppercut as an example you opbviously cant hyperextend on an uppercut but you can on a straight punch and you will if you punch air with heavy weights whether you turn your hand or not!

[platinummatt]

I dont lift much I mainly do bodyweight exercises. I also cant do lifts like that because of a spine condition. Do you know any bodyweight exercises for explosiveness? Thankyou

Don't use an example that doesn't work next time then, because it shows you don't know what you're talking about!

Yes, you CAN hyperextend on a straight punch. If you don't do it right. I don't hyperextend, my fighters don't hyperextend. Do you hyperextend? What does that tell you?

The bench press and military press aren't necessary. For the rest, just practice boxing movements nice and easy with 8 pound barbells in each hand. Most of the power comes from mass, acceleration, and leverage. And it comes at different angles than than the standard weightlifting exercises.
