Ok so, as we all know, the reason why martial arts striking techniques increase your power compared to an average untrained guy's strikes is because the technique increases the mass incorporated into that strike.
As we all know, F=m *a (or E= m*v^2/2) some use the first, some the last, but still we see that some way or another the force of your strike will always depend on your speed (acceleration) and of the mass involved in that strike. Untrained guys punch with just their arms, trained guys throw their whole bodyweight into the punch via technique.
So, by this logic, let's assume that i have a good enough technique. If i gain 50 pounds of fat, even though i just turned into a fatso, by the equations written before, it means that my punches/kicks and etc will be more powerful right? Even if those 50 pounds were just fat and not muscle, if my weight has increased, than the force in my strikes has increased as well correct? Because my technique remained the same even if i gained 50 pounds of fat?
So, what do you say guys? Will we increase our punching and striking power by gaining mass? Even if all that mass is fat? Of course we assume that we have awesome technique, and nothing technical changes. The only changes are in our fluctuating weight.
