What makes someone to have insane punching power ?

Strong kinetic chain. A strong punch starts at the feet.

my grandfather met george foreman and he claimed that by just touching you, you could feel how powerfull george was, it felt like dude had arms made of iron, he also, according my grandfather had insane grip strenght and big hands and wrists

Punching power comes from the hips you fucking pleb

Try delivering a powerful punch while you're up on one feet you botched abortion. Hips matter, so does back, shoulders, legs, and feet.

If you only have one foot on the ground, youre fucked up already. Take your autism elsewhere pheggetti

I wanna get into boxing but if I go now i'm gonna get so much shit for being a fit looking guy getting beat by some 19 year old mexican kid in a spar

What can I do lads?

I unironically believe you.

You won't regret it. Boxing is basically in the Mexican culture so don't sweat it. Keep going and everybody will begin to respect you. Plus you will have the fight skill to go with that shredded body. Boxing is also great for cardio.

You go, and exhibit humility when you do. Don't swagger in like a big shot and admit that you know fuck all and if it's a proper gym they'll respect you for that. Yeah you'll get your ass beat but it'll be good for you.

power comes from the legs. you rotate your torso to generate torque and it all starts from your feet up

punching power is entirely genetic. Some fighters have KO power, some do not no matter how much they train. All UFC fighters train thousands of hours and are experts but some do not possess KO power

source: UFC fan, watched hundreds of fights over 10+ years

all KO power punchers have huge quads,hammy,glutes

going trough all the aspects
>genetics
unfortunately out of your control, some people are born with natural power or more than others
>circunstances of life
many heavy punchers in boxing, before being famous boxers and even before being boxers at all, were hard labour workers, in other words thanks to their lifestyle they already were very strong before hand
>training
this includes two things, physical conditioning and technique, first the conditioning, trough training, like lifting weights and calisthenics they further develop their power, but then by practicing the technique they are able to transfer the power of their muscle into their punch, if you push with your back leg so you go forward then with your front lef down, twist your hips , use elastic recoil, wich is when you strecht your muscles then contract then to increase the strenght and speed of your movement, pull your non punching arm back, snap your punching arm out, twist your wrist and thigthen your hand as hard as you can at the very last second, you will have a punch with the strength of nearly if not your entire body, but even then if you don't connect or get blocked or you are two slow, even the strongest punch is useless, timing to know when to hit (for example in a counter, wich is the strongest technique you can possibly do) and pressicion so you hit the right spot to deliver the most damage are far more iimportant for delivering potential ko blows than actual ko power, more like, ko power is the result of timing and precision, remember technique is more important than the body, but if you don't have the body then technique is useless.
other things to consider in technique is how much damage you produce in your opponent before the finishing blow, ko victories are rare but even more rare are one blow ko victories, accumulating damage in your opponent can make it easier to ko him, but also tiring him can make the damage you cause more effective

one more thing, you opponent, if they are physicaly fragile due genetics i'll be much more easier to ko them if you conect properlly, if they both physically and mentally tough, it will result nearly impossible to knock them out, but no man is unbreackable, if you can't ko them while you have ko every single one of your previous opponents then this guy is super tough and you lack training, both in body and technique, lastly the mindset is also very important

Punching power has a variety of variables
Genetics do come into play such as arm-forearm-hand length weight etc. lifestyle come into play to enhance this. Take mike tyson per example if not discovered in a youth prison boxing program his natual talent would not have been honed as well as his overall hate for people. Ko punchers are not always big hulking guys, think of a Ko punch like voltage running through a wire, the less stops and resistors etc the more voltage. A punch is almost whip like when it connects you just feel it

Things that will improve punching power are bone density/size muscles and technique but then there are some people who just have the ability to hit really hard for some reason and you can't really train to have the same amount of power they can generate

Drive legs into the ground for kinetic force, pivot hips, aim past your target

>aim past your target
this

just b urself

Explosive back and shoulder muscles.
Strong core, quads, hamstrings.
Good flexibility and bone density.
Strong forearms and big hands.

> see: Gennady Golovkin

> past
I was taught to punch THROUGH, get closer than you need to but not so much that your elbow is bent

Same thing that gives someone the ability to bench or squat alot. Training the right muscles and having good technique. There are basically 4 kinds of punches: jab, hook, uppercut, and straight. Pro boxers have thrown each of these punches easily more than 1 million times. It’s all about repeating the movement and gaining strength over time, same as any other muscle. Timing and precision are also vital, moreso than raw punching power.

Dumbell snatches

>i'm gonna get so much shit
people in boxing gyms are generally pretty supportive. other guys will give you advice and the trainers will keep an eye on you. if not, it's probably not a gym you want to be a part of

>power comes from big muscles
t. never been in a fight. aka never even hit a bag before
Are you fucking retarded? More mass requires more energy to throw a punch. Prime example is Mike Tyson, and guys like him are few and far between

Boxer here!

The fastest way to improve your punching power is good technique. Boxers transfer force from their body (more mass) to/through their arm (less mass), by explosively turning their hips and core as they extend their arm/shoulders. The difference in mass means your fist will move faster and with more force than if you simply extended your arm. The steps involved are practically simultaneous, but that's basically what's going on.

The goal is to deliver force in the form of an IMPACT, all at once at the moment your hand connects with the target. This force will hopefully be enough to cause the opponent's head (an object with mass) to rotate quickly enough for a KO. Besides technique, this can be affected by:

-Having more mass. A guy with big enough arms could potentially ignore technique and swing his extended arm at a much smaller guy, if the weight of his arm alone is enough to deliver a strong enough impact.

-Being faster/more explosive. This is where genetics come in. If two guys weigh the same, have equal technique, and have equal proportions, then the guy who can produce the force/movements faster will have a stronger punch, because he can accelerate his hand faster by the time is reaches the target.

-Increasing acceleration through a "wind up". Boxers don't wind up by default because it leaves them open for counters, but a less explosive boxer can technically increase the impact of a punch by simply giving it more distance to accelerate. George foreman combined this with his huge mass to deliver massive punches.

Bait

>More mass requires more energy to throw a punch.
That must be why lightweights hit harder than heavyweights

good technique, powerful core, back and legs.

Powerful fighters find ways to transfer their body mass into the punch most efficiently. They also use the elastic band principle to increase acceleration before the punch connects.

For example, Jack Dempsey invented the "drop step", which would make him essentially fall into each punch.

>but not so much that your elbow is bent
please explain

I really want to get into fighting but I feel like its way to late for me to ever compete at a world class level so theres no point

Mike Tyson weighed 220 pounds, am misunderstanding you?

What's wrong with amateur boxing? There's probably a local gym near you that would be willing to train you if you commit. Boxing gyms are a great place to make new friends as well.

You are actually retarded, aren´t you? Good for you using the internet. So proud of you!

Force = mass * acceleration

Are you serious. This is just stupid. Nothing wrong with a bit of ambition but don´t let that prevent you from doing things you might enjoy.
Chances are you are never going to be world class level at anything. But being good at it, being the best in your area or gym is already worth something and something to be proud of.

>noises from a starting fighter jet engine

Fucking love that show.

Mass, acceleration, technique

True, though there are some caveats.
Firstly, you will stall at building your accelaration far sooner than you will stall at building mass. Unless your lifestyle is that of a sloth, you'll peak your speed well before you peak your mass.
Secondly, people often forget that F=m*a is true only at the moment of impact. For punching through your target and really making that head move, it's important to consider that your acceleration goes down, as each force has an equal and opposite force, blah blah blah. What it comes down to is that it's better if your mass comes from muscle and bone, as fatasses will just see their flab jiggling more.

And also that, depending on the mass you're trying to move, acceleration alone isn't enough, like McGregor trying to punch out Hafthor.

I thought it’s mass*accelaration that gives you punching force,whats the difference between force and power here?

?????????????

You do realize even the higher the weightclass you start to go the more KO's you start to see right? do you not even watch UFC

>t. never been in a fight

thats how you know this is a bullshit post, yeah man after your first fight you realize that guys with big muscles?

Absolutely zero power

Are you fucking retarded? It's not just BIG muscles bodybuilders on the bags look like babies but come on man come on think about what you're saying here, watch some boxing videos

turn your punch over
sit down on your punch
ensure close to full extension

But as long as your mass is coming from muscle and not fat, which is dead weight, then you should be able to maximise m and a for greater force.

Punchers are born, not made.

Good genetics + good coaching + hard work

it's mass x speed, not force x velocity

lifting weights. more muscle is more power

especially chest, biceps,

>dolly beats everything

Attached: vid-conor.jpg (1168x657, 43K)

In boxing, chest and legs (take a look at Mike Tyson).

lol. GGG has literal pencil legs. Other big punchers are fat and stout. Wilder is a twig and hit's harder than AJ who has 40+lbs on him and is built like a superhero.
Foreman hit harder than all these guys and was basically fat by Jow Forums standards

Power is too complicated to predict. Fundamentally it's about how much torque you can produce and how well you can transmit it. Resistance exercises don't build up punching power because punches aren't thrown with resistance. They're thrown relaxed and you only tense on connection. No one gets power out of the blue by working hard at the gym, fucking lol. If it only were that easy.

Theres something more to it than mass and technique.

Foreman and Wilder weighed like 220 lbs but hit harder than men much bigger. And a lot faster, in foreman's case.
I'm not a scientist but Id bet things like bone density, body anatomy. Incels on here like to analyze craniofacial anatomy well there's as of course as much difference genetically between people's body anatomy as there is with that and that's were the answer lies for punching power.

wrong
its mass x acceleration

youtube.com/watch?v=meutRWFJ0y0

Punchers are born not made. Find me one fighter who didn't have power before that managed to develop. If increasing your squat from 200lbs to 500lbs increased power you'd see a fuckload of boxers managing to improve their power.

The best way to hit harder is to hit more accurately and get better technique.

Kinetic energy is $\frac{1}{2} m v^2$, so a punch with twice the weight behind it will be twice as powerful, but a punch with twice the speed will
be 4 times. 3 times the speed is 9x, etc. That’s why a knockout punch is a swift blow that the opponent isn’t expecting. You can’t easly knock someone out with a slow punch unless you’re actually cracking their skull open.

technique and timing

Pretty sure overwhelming ability in any category is just that, overwhelming.

nah

very accurate advice here

Best advice in the whole fucking thread, you’re an idiot if you don’t listen to this guy

*triceps

Mostly genetics

Not him, but boxed in hs.

He means by the time your punch connects your arm shouldn't be fully bent or straightened out. As if you're punching the back of his head from the front, if you extended your arm fully at a proper distance to punch someone your fist should end where the back of his head was.

If you just punch and have your arm still mostly bent, you're not punching but pushing. Vice versa if you punch and you're almost completely extended by the time you connect, you're imparting nearly zero force to your opponent.

Just enough so you can still extend and push through once you've connected is the correct way.

It's a combination of bone density, speed, tendon strength, muscle insertions, joint amplitudes and of course, strength and power. Also, technical ability.

tnx bb

>Boxer here!
Just because you go to boxercise class with your mum, doesn't mean you are a boxer.

Force production and bone density are big factors, yes. The more you rotate, the more you explode, and the more stress your knuckles can take the more knockout power you have. However, look at kickboxing and muay thai -- the dudes that have knockout power in their hands also have it in their legs and it's not simply a matter of how much they squat. What most people forget or are flat out ignorant about when it comes to knockout power is timing.

Timing your punches can turn your hands from spitballs to atomic weapons.

All the greatest punchers, besides from having the explosiveness and the anatomy to withstand the counterforce on their knuckles, were able to catch their opponents leaning into their power punches, and punched precisely.

Lose your fit level by becoming either skinny fat or obese and only join the boxing gym once you have achived that, you collosal faggot cuck humble-brag autist.

This idiot makes no sense.

thing is you dont need insane punching power to knock someone out. All you need to do is hit them in the chin or head few times. Speed and explosiveness is more important in sports like tennis and soccer then it is boxing.

How much jump roping should I do for it to be considered good cardio? I want them calf gains and it's more fun than running. I was thinking 20 minutes in total, sets of 4? Intense fairly fast skipping too :)

Attached: images.jpg (528x619, 22K)

I'm not a boxer, but I think it's also important to add to keep the body stiff when the punch hits the opponent, to maximize energy transfer

This. box properly for an hour and youll find your calfs, feet, and legs getting sore.

That'd probably do it. Try high jumping too. Also, no meme: Jumping jacks. That's an easy way to build up your calfs

thanks, will incorporate jumping jacks as a warmup

For what it's worth, I don't spar, but I take a boxing class. Glorified zumba i guess, but its 15 minute warmup, 8 rounds on the bag (3 minutes, 1 rest), then 15 minute core.
Some of the things we warm up with: Squats, Squat jumps (jump at the end), speed skaters, forward lunges, backward lunges, pulse Squats (hold at bottom, pulse up and down), wall sits, jumping jacks, cross jacks, shadow boxing, burpees, mountain climbers, pushups, and a couple of meme things like bear crawls. Any of combination of those things will, in general, work your legs and back and arms. Jumping rope will probably be more intense, i'd imagine.

a roll of quarters

Really wanting to kill the person in front of you + strong core

Stay humble.
I'm 6'4" and got dunked on by a 5'10 guy once in a game.
People went ooooh but whatever.

Another guy who went to a class here, you want to hit with the bottom three knucklesto disperse force if you're going bare handed, you sort of "push" with your corrisponding leg and move your torso and shoulder into it. I'm not explaining it that well, but strong fat guys can normally hit harder due to having more torso mass to swing.
And the speed bags train timing more than speed, I found them easier to do with my eyes closed

rotating your torso to generate torque is hardly your legs. that is your core musculature. a strong punch is primarily waist, core and upper body. legs just keep you in place.

I'm the guy you're replying to, and yeah I failed to mention that. Again, it all happens in less than a second so it's hard for me to break it down.

I'd believe it. The real fucking crazy thing is that Earnie Shavers was said to be a harder puncher than george.

This. Anyone who has boxed even a single round in the gym knows that if your hips didn't move, you didn't get any power on the punch.
