@cookie monster iv seen femail boxers using a EZ curl bar (olympic) with 5kgs either side and punching and the girl in question elisha baumgarden hits hard👊
@@theovela6655 Well I think you have to build up the muscle you are using and punching uses quick twitch muscles but if the weight is too heavy, you are no longer working the fast twitch muscles and now are working the normal strength muscles. My theory is, use a bit of weight just over what feels normal when punching and work to make those weights feel normal to punch with, then go up a step in weight until that feels like the new normal and the punches feel quick and accurate. I’d like to say this would just take a few weeks but realistically, it would take months to have noticeable improvement. Like when you hit the gym for the first time in a while it feels like you’re making good progress and are putting on muscle but it’s going to take months for you to actually build the muscles the way your brain thinks they’ve been building.
Outstanding explanation. I use it to remind my mind and my body to keep my hands up always in a fight. This way you are constantly able to defend, attack and also range when necessary. Would like your comments and views too please
I have started to take my 3kg dumbells to work and as I walk around the yard ( I do security) I throw uppercuts. Hooks. And jabs. As well as curls etc and it's a great workout. And my hands speed is on point guys.👌
I always did punching drills holding weights and putting it all together with footwork and hip rotation i developed a knockout punch with either hand. Im not saying im the best boxer/fighter but i hit hard
Do it with cables and bands. That will increase punch power.👍🏻 The resistance must be opposite of the punch, with dumbells the resistance is just down.
What if you were to use weighted punches as an endurance exercise. Throw basic, moderate force punches and improve upon how long long you can last doing it. What will the end result of that be?
@@wadocombatcanada Better physical condition is what you need as a boxer or MMA without tiring and throwing more punches especially if they land wins you fights, right?
It's all individual - doesnt sound too much, but if you have a muscle imbalance or a weak muscle that is requiring other muscles to do its job, then even a can of soup could be the right weight. When in doubt - seak help from a health professional/physiotherapist, etc! They can help you determine what is right for your body.
By using weights iit' not going. To lmprove your punching power its all about your Technique, once a week you can use. Weights it's about throwing shot with a weight. Correctly, by taking your time and thats. The way your going to. Improve, 🥊
Lol seen tittle its on mute lol they certainly will if u punch sumone with a weight in ur hand lol think he meant shadowboxing with weights no punching with
No, it won't. It will make your punch more inaccurate. Heavy bench press and overhead press will make your punch stronger. Squats, deadlifts, power clean and power snatch, and you are good.
@@smart-ass8518 , tbh, weighted push-ups are awkward to perform, no? And you can only add so much weight. If you have allergic reactions to bench pressing, i would choose weighted dips. Everything that makes you actually stronger will add to your punch, look at the physical formula for kinetic energy. Problem is, boxers are the most stubborn breed of them all to this kind of thinking. Every track and field athlete knows this, even byciclists are doing anabolic steroids. Even this skinny guys that run marathon are doing strength training nowadays, just boxers be like: nah, i do processing wood with an axe and i'll be fine. Or doing boxing movements with light weights, or some such shit. According to the logic of this, all i need is a pair of pencils and doing even more reps, a million per day, no? Well, pencils and 5lbs dumbells don't make anybody stronger, or faster. Fast movements are done with your muscles, believe me or not, and you train your muscles the most effective way with heavy loads on the basic compound movements, and if you don't want to add weight, bcs of your weight class, you even add a few pounds to the barbell so your rep range is two to three repetitions. This way, you will get stronger without building more muscle mass. I was not only a boxer, when i was young, but also a track and field thrower, shot put and discus. There was'nt even a question, the stronger you get, the further you throw. Just boxers are..... ahhh, i give up. I will not bring one boxer to a proper strength training regime, so i'm wasting my time here. By the way, i am a boxing trainer in an MMA gym in Vienna, and ALL of my students are doing strength training now, after seeing me destroying one heavy bag after another in a matter of weeks. 52yo, still plenty of punching power.
I regularly use 10lb for hands and 5lb for feet It really improve my speed. I learned it from Bruce Lee and you know he's fast.
lmao bruce lee was a clown
@@honigga so are u
For the weighted punches doing damage is true which is why you should only use 2-3 pound weights 3 pounds might even be too heavy for some
i use 15 ngl😂
Oh damn, I’ve been using 20lbs

Thx Justin, I know that question gets asked often. Great explanation.

Thanks for the info!
I remember this video! Great breakdown.
Who knew an impromptu backyard video would be one of our top viewed still 2 years later. Scares me that our regular content doesn't compare! Hahaha 😉
Good information brotha👊🏽👊🏽
Considered and intelligent video, thanks UK karateka

If you want to punch harder then you spend a lot of time punching a big hard heavy bag.

It increases speed so maybe power too but as a boxer we use those to increase speed and stamina in the arms shoulders overall ability with your arms
Do it with cables and bands. That will increase punch power.👍🏻 The resistance must be opposite of the punch, with dumbells the resistance is just down.
Anatomically, bands can increase your serratus anterior strength (boxer's muscles). Which is a great additive to training.

Toning and better physical conditioning, so not a bad thing!
@@wadocombatcanada Better physical condition is what you need as a boxer or MMA without tiring and throwing more punches especially if they land wins you fights, right?
yes
Does it improve stamina though aha!!! Punch output???
How about doing it 2 to 3 times a week.......now I have turned 55 so no chance that I am going for MMA fights....... 😀😀😀
Absolutely fine to do a couple times a week as long as you're not overloading the muscles. Unfortunately just one time too heavy can cause damage.
I dont have any lighter weights, so i use 20 pound dumbbells in each hand, which isnt even that hard anymore
go up
Well how do we increase ouncb power sir
Im 16 and want to gain strength of my punch is punching with dumbbells works?
I'm using 2 bottle that has a grip and weighted 4.99kg for training punching, uppercut and hook. Is that ok?

I shadow a lot with weight and all my sparring parter say than I have a lot of power in my punch so i think shadow weight is usefull 😎

I punches with weights 4 times per week and got incredibly powerful
@@floatiner how does it affect ur speed thats what im looking for because ive gotten my power down, im increasing it still but you know.
@@aptafy7167 I quit cus I got a back injury from lifting so I can't really help u
However it did help me win a boxing tournament against my mates
Lol seen tittle its on mute lol they certainly will if u punch sumone with a weight in ur hand lol think he meant shadowboxing with weights no punching with
😆 some people deserve a good weight punch!

Curious, where does the inaccuracies accumulate from?
Bench press makes you punch harder?
Pushup is basically an inverted bench press, no? So will weighted pushups do the trick?
