Any thoughts on a short clip of me shadow boxing?

[Razznik]

helps? it marginaly improves something that isnt very good in the first place

particularly it removes the whole timing ellement of firing musclss in the exact sequence to develop power, you just end up moving your arm quickly, which isnt with out benifit just not much of one when compared to actually hitting things

It only doesn't help if you don't keep your guard up.

ok, how have you measured how much it helps?

 

[Razznik]

Not exactly but I definetely felt more tired XD
that's ought to count for something

of course you felt more tired your swing 20 lbs about, if it improved your punching power is a different question.

using shadow boxing to work on your foot work is of more benfit to how hard you hit

 

[Razznik]

of course you felt more tired your swing 20 lbs about

XD I wish

 

[Razznik]

if it improved your punching power is a different question.

Yes. Not directly afterwards, but after training for a few days I felt a change.

what change ? to what,? measured how ?

 

[Razznik]

what change ?

More punching power

to what,?

To more punching power

measured how ?

Through my punching

 

[jobo]

More punching power

punching what ?

 

[Razznik]

punching what ?

A punching bag duh

so why dont you use the weight ir get some wrist weights AND hit the " punching bag" at the same time, that will give you greater improvements faster than air punching, or just lift weights that will make you stronger faster than messing about with piddling weights

what shadow boxing is good at is foot work, that can indeed have a knock on to punching power , the weights are largely irelivant to that

 

[Razznik]

so why dont you get some wrist weight

Because I am low on funds, that's why

Also, accuracy. Something that wearing weights is going to cause you to misfire with when you're not wearing them.

All that "power" right into nothing.

An awful lot of baseball players are going to disagree with you on this...

Baseball isn't punching, and there's a very good reason they weight their bats with donuts during practice.

It's so they don't feel the weight of the bat and swing faster. That's a speed thing, not a power thing.

The ball weighs practically nothing.

In case you missed it in Jr High physics, speed IS power.

oh no it's not, not even in junior high school

Of course it is. The kinetic energy of an object is equal to 1/2 its mass x the square of its speed.
In the context of hitting or punching, the mass of a given object (baseball bat or fist or whatever) is a constant. The speed is the variable. More speed = more power.

are we talking about power or kinetic energy?

you said POWER power is work done divided by time, work done is not a constant, it depends how much work you do, obs

You may try some punch combo so your punch will be more 3 dimensional.

- jab, cross, hook, uppercut.
- hook, back fist, overhand, uppercut.
