Plyometrics: key to a Pac victory?

wat

 

I'm a Pacman supporter.

Even if plyometrics helps him develop true welterweight power, and it helps his body turn into a true welterweight, his chin and punch resistance will still be at the featherweight level.

Do they have plyometric exercises for developing someone's chin?

 

Plyometrics have always been part of boxing, throwing a punch is a plyometric movement. It's very obvious on hooks and uppercuts, more subtle on straight punches.

 

well unless it makes himgrow 6'' and make his reach longer and granite up his chin to WWrock..,

uh no...,although polymetrics are great for explosiveness building:good :tong

 

Its not gonna help his chin once Oscar lands his left hook.

 

No. It's a term used to group certain exercises. What people often don't realize is that throwing punches belongs to that group of exercises. Of course there are many more exercises plyometric in nature, depth jumps for example is one of my favorites. It isn't a new school miracle thing, boxers have been doing it for decades. They just didn't know it was called plyometrics.

 

It doesn't really matter... he is still a midget compare to oscar.

 

Sports that often use explosive movements train with plyometrics.

BAsketball and badminton players train plyo so that they have that extra spring in their step, and extra explosiveness in their jumps and their sprints.

One example of plyo training is jogging, running and sprinting without the back part of your heel touching the ground. Run with only the front part of your feet making contact with the ground.

 

Of course, those are the ones likely to benefit. It's like saying sports that use plyometric movements often train with plyometric movements . But I understand what you are saying, all I was trying to say is that bag work for example is a plyometric exercise. Of course they are talking about things like sprints, depth jumps, etc, I understand that and I'm not questioning their usefulness. In fact I like them a lot myself.

 

Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you. Just giving examples to the threadstarter.

Developing upper body, fast twitch muscles is very important in boxing.

They make your punches have that extra snap, and you develop better handspeed.

 

Really, boxing itself is a plyometric activity. You exert yourself beyond normal means.
