If a fighter gains 10 lbs without gaining physical strenght, does he have more or equal punching power than when he started the weiight gain?
Yes, assuming he didn't lose too much explosiveness (which might happen). Power is all about weight shift, the muscles aren't that important.
Technically yes, but you may lose speed and in turn explosiveness like said above and you may lose flexibility and balance which will make you lose power
I'm no physicist, but I know energy = mass x Speed of light, therefore more mass = more energy assuming all else is equal. Could be wrong though.
:good Yep. His punches might not be as effective against bigger guys but he SHOULD be more powerful, in absolute value.
Well it's all good in theory.But you need to apply that in practice.Try it out.I have stun someone with a left hook but only put a mark on their face with the right hand.So It means there's some pop in the left hand.
Kinetic Energy=1/2mass*velocity^2:hey Force=mass*acceleration So adding more mass and keeping the same speed will turn into more force. Some people think that having a larger fist results in more force
more punching power. but the execution of the punch would be futile if your opponent dodges your sloppy punches.
On a related question of power punching. On a body punch, does power results in a deeper penetration of the fist into the body?
