    This.

    Another ridiculous, pointless question to add to the pot.

    A polish study was done on 40,000 kids as to determine what identifiable traits indicated superior strength. First indication of superior strength was the circumference of the calves. Second indication for strength is the size of the forearm. Now we know that the wrist is included another study on power punching found that long legs and a short torso with a long lean body generated harder punches. I refuse to believe in quantum boxing, the only thing scientific about boxing is the science behind it. You can produce a world champ with 6 months of correct training!:good

    Ah, I've heard about HGH. I'm not in the slightest bit interested in getting any taller, I'm happy with my height and to be honest would be happy if I didn't grow any taller.

    As for it possibly making your frame/skeleton/bones thicker etc, that is something that I would want, but I have never actually seen anything or any articles about that, what about you?

    No... I've never read any articles proving or disproving it... I can only go by what the docs in the industry say the ones who prescribe gh too the boxers as well as the boxers themselves according to them it does help.:hat

    No....but:

    Flurbiprofen is in a group of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Flurbiprofen works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body.

    Flurbiprofen is used to treat pain or inflammation caused by arthritis.


    Care to elaborate?

    Unable to post link see YouTube super strength roger Dennis 5'6 he can rip a phone book apart with his bare hands. He's got thick set of wrists on him.

    Back in the day when gyms where far and few between I started training in Darlington anyway the old club coach punched me in the face for having perfect form apparently had I used perfect form I would have been world champ and made others world champions.

    Today I have no time to argue with such folks, you've got it or you better find away to get it. You can make a world champion boxer with six months of training.

    How young exactly? Might they just be...you know, growing? ;)

    Men can stop as early as eighteen or continue into their mid-twenties.

    I have heard of boxers starting growth hormone injections as young 14 prescribed to them by their doctor.

    ww w.ncbi. nlm.nih. gov/pubmed/2660884

    Quite interesting (and seemingly promising) studies there, the only thing is though that I can't find anything of substance in relation to humans.

    Sorry for the links being broken, I've not yet been a registered user for 60 days so I am not allowed to post links.

    Aye, I just searched there and have seen him before. Very strong, and this is why I would like a thicker frame. You mean Darlington in NE England? I'm from nearby there/

    See michael jai white and kimbo slice YouTube, Bernard Hopkins Perfect Execution:The Hook-see how they teach not to punch across body which leaves one open to counter punches but rather by stepping forward. My advice is to stay away from power gyms by watching the video you'll learn why. Better to develop strength by other resources.:bbb
