You can get stronger using resistance... And?



So you couldn't deadlift a decent amount. So what?



You used weighst with no knowledge of what you were doing. Simple really.



I very much doubt it.



That's just plain wrong.



For example?



That's just plain wrong.



Weight lifting strengthens joints...



You do realize probably around 90% of the people that use weights don't actually have a clue what they're doing?

Over 400 lbs isn't a decent amount?

You are a big time hater. No weights, and I'm still stronger at liftin weights than your punk ass.

For all you young kids out there, that goes for explosive grip training on the pull up bar as well.

If you don't got the proper strength you can easily get a SLAP tear. I hear that shit is common for those crossfit dummies that do kipping pull ups.

Apparently, SLAP tears don't heal on their own.

There is no Pacific muscles to work on for power ,,when you walk into a boxing gym all exercises should be relevant for speed , power , stabilized balance
shadow boxing is good to practice rhythm within the combinations witch then transfers body movement behind the punch giving maximum power from body weight

the punch starts from the legs to the waist which then relises the arms which backs up the fist

The whole body adds power and speed through the kinetic chain, having lean arms or not makes no difference to anything, they are light relatively speaking and the difference in weight between a slightly bulkier arm and a lean arm would be insignificant. It's the last link of the chain so you don't have to put in any effort to overcome the weight of your arm if you're punching anywhere near correctly.

dealt with if the triceps are the least used muscles. are they practically wasted space? my right tricep are much stronger and bigger than the one on my left and I'm sort of wishing it wasn't so big anymore. any possible way of making it equal like my left so I could have more room to put muscle in other important places like the legs, traps, back shoulder biceps etc?

Actually the Punch starts from the Hip .

Real punching starts with the legs. That's just the truth. Drive with the legs, turn into with, let the punch go through, and it'll have quite a bit of force behind it.

Do that explosively, with timing and speed, and you'll start knocking fools out.

Can't tell if sarcastic crack, like "swings from the hip", or legitimate statement.

I suppose it can, but mine start in the toes.

Magna is correct that the legs the most important part...quads glutes but even your calves get into some....


The thing is...if you are boxing..you should be doing heavy boxing workouts at least 4 days a week....that is your most important thing....the old school shit..the heavybag, the double end bag, the shadowboxing, the skill work the sparring...the mitts (which is kind of newish school). Than you should also be some kind of running...sometimes distance...sometimes sprints..sometimes a combo..i would say you should run at least 3 days a week.


So that means you have already worked out 7 times...now even if you are eating right, and sleeping well..you still only have so much engery that can go into the weight room..that means you want to hit your high percentage muscles first...legs, back (with the back you get some arm work as well) and some chest....trying to do 8 sets of bicep curls, and tri push downs, and multiple sets on chest...flat bench, flies, decline incline..all that other shit..your going to end up over training..or needing to take away from your sports specific training......


Basically you have limited physical resources....and your first priority needs to be boxing skill and sports specific explosiveness...followed by cardio (worse thing in the world is too gas out in a fight...that 400 pound bench press wont help you if you are about to fall over).

For that reason..I think a basic 3 days a week 5x5 of squats dead lifts and flat chest might be best..with a few other sets of things mixed in.

Hi Mate, everything in the Posterior Chain, is Triggered by the TFL, it Orchestrates, conducts all movement and ,. Singles the Bio mechanics of drive. We assume its the Foot, but its not. something of interest .

You still need your triceps to lock out the punch, they aren't useless. Also the size of the muscle means that no matter how big they are they aren't going to add any significant weight to you.
