Slip Faster, Punch Harder
Вставка

- This exercise is simple and extremely effective for building high levels of strength in the obliques. Being able to instantaneously apply high levels of force in these muscles is extremely important for boxing. The defensive implications are obvious - slipping to the side needs to be executed with maximum speed if you want to avoid a punch. The offensive implication may be a bit less obvious - slipping to the side to put you in a better position to punch or add power to a punch also has to be executed quickly. And the power transfer aspects is subtler still - for power to move from the hips to the shoulders it needs to be aided by a super strong core. The obliques help stabilize and facilitate this action.
EXECUTION
1. Setup in your boxing stance and grab a weight in one hand. You can use a kettlebell, dumbbell or even a barbell. I personally like the instability of the barbell as it can force additional adaptation.
2. While keeping the lower body still, explosively move your upper body laterally as if you were slipping a punch.
WHAT TO FOCUS ON
• This is an “above the hips only” exercise. Don’t move the hips back and forth.
• Focus on the top of your head moving first, just like you’re slipping a punch. When a lot of people slip a punch, they’re more concerned about moving the SHOULDERS out of the way and not the HEAD. This is the incorrect way to slip a punch so don’t get into a bad defensive habit because of this exercise. Think about getting that HEAD out of the way.
• When executing from a staggered stance, perform the exercise from both sides AND BOTH STANCES! This is of paramount importance. Since we’re using heavy weight, the potential for developing muscular imbalance in the waist and lower back is high and could result in low back issues. Make sure you’re doing equal reps on both sides.
• And always take equal reps from both sides!
• Finally, get as strong as possible in the movement. This will likely require you to use a barbell.
VARIATIONS
• Parallel and staggered stances.
• Take reps with the weight slightly behind you as well. This will allow you to train your slipping to the front left and front right directions.
FREQUENCY
• 1-2x per week.
SETS
• 3-5 sets, depending on intensity and workout goals.
REPS
• Low to medium rep range (4-8).
REST PERIODS
• Varied but don’t go until exhaustion. - Спорт
Dude thanks for the advice
Why you dont do a long video like when you combine all these exercises and made it a workouts
Great exercise session!
Alice Bradley TY. Wait until you see the next video lol 🥊
Best channel on UA-cam and Instagram do you do any online programming
James Paul thanks man. Appreciate it! I don’t. Not yet at least. Hopefully in the future
Would you please do a video showing the knockout points on the head and body? Thanks
William Davis sure thing. I’ll put it on the list
PUNCHwithPOWER Thank you very much!
Is there a way to speed up your punches without weight and how to truly have good head movement? Great content as always, keep it up, piece.
Marino absolutely. You can learn to have faster punches by ...
moving your body fast!
Concentrate on proper technique, relaxing and exploding with your body. Just note that this will only get you so far. You’ll need to complement this with strength and power training to realize your potential.
Head movement can rely more on timing and vision to make up for any lack of speed
@@PUNCHwithPOWER thanks coach,it's only matter of time when you will become popular.
Marino thank you man 🙏 spread the word!
Good video - what knuckles do you use when punching? Or doesn't it matter when you're wearing a glove?
Akbar M first 2 knuckles (index, middle) same as bare fisted. They’re the strongest and if your fist is lined up straight it’s natural. Of course it’s not always possible to do that. The most important thing to remember is squeezing your fist HARD and keeping your wrist straight
@@PUNCHwithPOWER Thanks for the reply. Sorry to follow up, but if you punch to the face or chest using a vertical fist, the top 2 knuckles don't align, the index knuckle is further away from impact, unlike the middle knuckle. I was told that for vertical punches to the face, you can slightly bend the wrist so that the top index knuckle would better align. In your experience, is that legit or a no go? Keep up the good work
Akbar M good question but I emphatically disagree with that advice. I assume by “vertical fist” you mean thumb up? I wouldn’t punch that way. Instead, turn your punch over. And NEVER EVER bend your wrist when punching. Keep it straight on all punches.
@@PUNCHwithPOWER Golden advice, thank you. I agree with you, the guy that told me did wing chun ... But I think boxing has more effective strikes.
@@AK_UK_ Always hit with the first two knuckles.
The fallacy of hitting with the last three knuckles only works for demonstrations on flat objects!
