Sorry,but I cant stand when trainers say"Dont worry about power"!!

my coach says the same thing, he says speed > power

 

When they say "Don't worry about power" I'm guessing they mean you have more important things you need to work on. You can't really box without working on your power, whenever you work on technique and balance you are working on your power. Whenever you punch a bag or do any sort of resistance training you are working on your power.
It sounds like you want to ignore boxing and try to knock people out, that's only going to get you so far. To use your power you need to land punches, otherwise all the power in the world is useless.
How do you propose that you'd focus on power anyway? What do you mean by develop your power?

 

his power is always gonna be there if hes as naturally strong as he says, so i suggest working on speed and accuracy. a medium strength hit can knock someone out if its accurate.

 

What your coach is trying to say is work on the test of your game

 

Not another one of these 'look I can give myself a blowjob' threads.

 

Everything you do works on power in boxing, power is just the output of energy from your movement. More efficient movement from technique and timing increases the power of your punches.
What I was saying is that everything works on your power so it is literally impossible to not work on your 'power', I don't understand the slappy face.
If you wanted to get an edge in your power then learn some Olympic lifts and devote a day or two to plyometrics if you can afford to.
Power can only really be increased drastically if you are at a low level and from what you are saying you aren't. If someone is lacking in strength then power can be improved drastically but if you're already strong and well conditioned you are gonna get far greater benefits in power from working on your technique. Out and out speed can't really be improved so strength and technique with work on rate of force development wih plyo's and Olympic lifts are what you need to think about if you want to maximize your power.
I agree with the philosophy of building on someones strengths but if they have glaring weaknesses they can't be ignored.
What was the context of your coach saying "don't worry about power" ? No boxing coach in the world is going to say that power isn't important. I don't think you really understand the point he was trying to make.

 

Lmao. Power CANNOT be improved DRASTICALLY. The best way to improve your power is to perfect technique.

sounds like a thread made to talk yourself up imo

 

Last week I did 12430 in 30s press-ups then sparred and knocked this guy out with one punch. Do I need to shadow box?

 

i hit so hard i knocked out a guy with my jab

 

exactly. Sorry but i couldn't be bothered even reading the thread. One thing you must learn my friend is that the coach says what he says cause he knows whats good. Discipline, if he says you should work on speed and technique and you decide to ignore that then i suggest you quit. " No matter how good you are, without discipline your nothing " - Mike Tyson. You say why speed and technique? Ever tried studying the Physics part of Boxing? the main power that comes from our arm isnt actually from our own, its all momentum using the hips and shoulder. Momentum is Mass X Velocity and Higher Momentum = Stronger output. If you increase your speed your output will be faster thus more momentum thus stronger. Speed is only a variable, technique is there so that you know how to balance your body and not fall after givin a jab. Technique also teaches you how to punch and move of hips and feet to create that momentum. I usually don't write so much but you must understand that YOU are the student so you should listen and if your new and already cant stand your trainer then you better pull your socks up

 

either an idiot or a troll.

 

Honestly, with all respect to the guy i was thinking the same thing

 

I like how he "FIGHTS" at two different weights....... its as if he just started training and thinks he hits hard so wants to either brag about it or wants to just concentrate on power because he thinks thats what win fights.
OR MY GUESS JUST A TROLL
