Unfortunately, we have the same problem no matter if we punch across the centerline or not.

SO, got myself some Fairtex pads a year ago just for fun. Training with my brother at home, everything is going well. Until about 4 weeks ago, when thepunching power of us both seemingly dissipated over night. Instead, this happens (excuse the art, but a picture is better than a wordy...

Videos from almost 10 years ago, off topic because you got butthurt at facts in another thread. Good job, retard.

Ok.

Research the "Chopper" from bare knuckle boxing.

Secret tip: Do a few jumps and throws.

Both are MASSIVELY overrated, but Ali probably takes it. Tyson couldn't hit like Foreman and Ali ate those shots no problem - with the known consequences. Ofc, the nasty rumors about Big George being drugged are ignored in my short but genius assessment.

+1 for back extensions. Deadlifts are for specialised athletes like powerlifters. Avoid them generally, not enough bang (gains) for the buck (risk of injury).

Starting Strength and powerlifting and all that jazz isn't functional for a speed strength/endurance sport like MMA at all - it's more for internet lifters and meme junkies. Either look up lifting advice for wrestlers or do lots of bodyweight squats and jumps ( both of which are very popular...

Olympic cyclist Yaroslav Kulhavy broke his arm in two places from falling. Olympic horse rider Michael Jung broke his arm from a fall. Olympic ski jumper Taihei Kato also broke his arm from a bad fall. It also happens often in gymnastics and even in Judo - also at the highest levels. In...

Athleticism is mostly explosive and speed strength + coordination. The pros don't really train like the programs you find on the net (obviously). The "powerbuilding approach" is only a very small part of sports training because pure max strength alone is pretty much useless.

Since I am always interested in pro athlete training, and not so much in internet hearsay, I did some searches on the ol'd tube and looky-looky what I found. I especially looked for high level stuff and not some Mall dojo videos (of which there are also a lot): 160 lbs Lumpinee Champion Jimmy...

Argumentum ad authority isn't really any good way to argue. If it was, I'd have finished the discussion by quoting Verkhoshansky, Bondarchuk, Zatsiorski, etc. all of which had and have a higher standing in the sports science world, being practically legends. I mean, how many Olympic champions in...

I think you misunderstood pretty much exactly what I meant.

NO. Holy crap, excuse my French, but this is really going nowhere. Are you playing stupid or something? Do you think you move your bodyweight by punching? If anything, your body moves your limb in punching, and nor the other way around like in jumping and doing pushups. Do you have trouble...

Then maybe you should watch those guys train sometimes. Nothing, I mean nothing, I have ever seen of basketball guys, ESPECIALLY NBA guys, goes much beyond "some jumps here and there" (no plyos), "some crunches" and "a lot of playing ball". In fact, they keep down their jumping exercises as much...

That's was the point, it's a bit of a joke. But it shows very well how Sherdoggers fight irl.

You want to equate moving your bodyweight in a punch and in push ups? Why? Even someone like you should realize it's a lot easier to punch 200 times than it is to do 200 pushups. Or that a punch is a lot faster than a pushup, which indicates the loads involved are different. Or are you so fat...

Of course pushups are a loaded movement. That's not reaching at all. It's just fact. And jumps are, of course, loaded with your bodyweight.

Ok, ok. To get back at the point: I disagree with Oly lifts and plyometrics for increasing punching/kicking impact force. My sources: On hand experience and works on sports science. Exception: Being completely unconditioned, in which case any training will increase impact force. You disagree...
