Greys I don't believe that bag work is essential especially when you have a live human bag in the ring.
Weight training is bad because it only trains muscles in one plane and direction, this causes inflexibility of the muscle fibres. It also causes a loss of coordination, because the muscles are trained separately. When training to fight the body should be treated as one muscle so muscles are trained evenly so the entire body becomes stronger.
Ady is there any scientific truth to this sounds like something s**** has been saying? I do like what you're saying especially because I believe that strength is set. BJJ from what I'm told all they do is spar, why must boxing be anything but the same?
That is why bag work is good, because it strenthens the entire body evenly. Eric Bristow suffered from a condition called Dartitis, where he could not release the dart when throwing.. I believe that prolonged weight training will result in a condition that I have called Punchitis, an inability to let your punches go when you want to. I think Klitscho was suffering from this condition when he fought Fury?
Chi, I am a qualified scientist, who has carried out personal research in boxing training. I am currently in the experimental stage and the results have been very good, the proof is on it's way. Since boxing is called the sweet science then logically it must have a scientific formula with regard to conditioning.
When your fist connects with the bag the force is distributed evenly through out the body right downq to the feet, thus all fighting muscles are trained. Weight cant achieve this, in the ring the body is the only natural resistance to punching. Weight training creates a lag in the nerve impulse when pushing weights, this is carried over into the ring.
Yes that's what s**** has been saying for quite sometime. But what I can't understand is how does science measure impulses in the macroscopic nerves, is there known method for measurement?
This my theorectical formula for boxing conditioning, this is the first time I reveal this formula. This formula if it works can be used by any martial artist, or athelete. The physics: One of newtons laws states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = MA) Therefore to hit hard a fighter has to train to increase his mass and acceleration. Remember mass is not weight! Einsteins law of mass and energy equivalance states E= mc2 Where mass has an equivalnce to energy. The fighter is the mass and his mass determines the amount of energy he will have. The energy his equal to a fighters stamina, therefore to increase your stamina (energy) the fighter must increase his mass. The final formula is: F and E = MA Therefor to increase punching power and stamina a fighter should increase his mass and acceleration without increasing his weight.
Furthermore, the fighter upon increasing his body mass will reach a critical mass, theoretically the fighter will have reached the maximum mass that he can attain. At this point he should be extremely powerful, fast and have loads of stamina (energy) : with regards to conditioning, this is perfection in my opinion. There is only one fighter that I can name that has achived this, I think his name was Bruce Lee!
Chi there are instruments that can measure nerve impulses, remember the impulse is electrical, the human body produces electrical charges all the time, this is how we move.A heart monitor measures the electrical impules of the heart.
So after all that your idea is basically that for an athlete to punch harder they need to improve their power. Revolutionary!!!
But reading it, its not just power, in the general term, I would question Bruce Lee claim, as He didnt actually compete, or win anything.
It's the quickest way to gain power, lets leave it at that. If you stumble upon a method that is better than the punching bag for gaining power then please enlighten me.
