Yeah, this has been posted like 500 times.
No dumbbells
what makes bench go up? benching more... so what makes throwing punches more efficient/better?
Work your abs and lats (those were my weak points anyway). Obviously, there are bodyparts more important to the process, but these two really seem to be lacking in bodybuilders to my knowledge anyway.Hate is a powerful word; I, in turn, am a powerful man, borne from it. Your fear is my strength, your insecurity, my pride. All i have ever known is loathing... You toss aside my teachings to preach of love, which you know nothing of?! I know love... Let me show you the way. Hate... Hate was my first love.
The demons are sleepless and immaterial, death is at hand, and I am weak. Lord, help me; do not let Thy creature perish, for Thou carest for me in my misery.

Working obliques is probably a good idea, too...especially if you want those powerful full reach punches...the turning action of the torso really adds power to the straightening of the arm and throws your weight into the fist.

This is the way Bruce Lee do it: When you're punching, don't make a fist yet(leave your hand open). When the hand is about to hit the target, then make a fist very quickly and tighten it. It's said that your arm feels lighter when you don't make a fist. So make a fist when it hits the target. I should try this out.

i did martial arts and this is what they told us
1.do not form a fist while punching untill your are about to hit the target. do this in a snap motion foward
2.for max power and when you have time, start the punch from the waist, obviously if you need a quicker punch you would do a jab instead
3.exhale when you are about to hit the target, do this while clenching your fist in step 1, optionally make alot of noise to intimidate the target/throw them off
4.form a fist with your knuckles inclined, if your arm was parrel with the ground then your knuckles would be above your arm.
5.lots and lots of heavy bag work, i notice big improvements when using my heavy bag, if i dont use it for months my punches are noticbly weaker and after punching fora while my punches loose accuracy and my hand rolls over because the muscles between the wrist and hand are weak.
6.explosive exersizes like fast benching, olympic lifts.
7.cardio for fitness, you will loose accuracy/speed and power if you get tired while fighting
8.sparing is really important for fighting as wellPHD in bro science

It springs from the fighter's confidence, courage, and grim determination, and is the result of vigorous training. Through training, the fighting instinct of the individual soldier is developed to the highest point. The will to use the bayonet first appears in the trainee when he begins to handle it with facility, and increases as his confidence grows.
