What kind of workout routines should i do to build a stronger punch?

Question

I am going to try boxing and i wanted to know what kind of workout routines i should do. I have a barbell, and a couple dumbbells. I also have a local gym close by.

Answer 1

you can do lateral and front shoulder raises, one arm dumbbell rows for your back and bicep curls, hammer curls and tricep dips for your arms.

Answer 2

Barbells and dumbbells may improve muscle tone, and, arguably, stamina, but not your punches.

If you are doing aerobic boxing, then you would be best off finding a group that does such.

If you are doing contact (i.e., pro-style) boxing, then you need to seek a trainer, even if all you'll do is hit against a bag, because it can be very dangerous to do so on your own (i.e., broken limbs from improper form).

Answer 3

It you want good punching power you need to work on shoulder and lateral muscles. When you throw a punch using the correct technique you use a lot of shoulder and lateral muscle.

Answer 4

Hmm, one I learned from my trainer a bit ago, is throwing medicine balls like you would punch. you just use one arm and extend it like youre punching except force the ball out. At your local gym (if they have a basketball court, or any flat walls you can use), just stand about 10 ft away from the wall and get to it!


Supposedly its what the army does or something, I dunno. Seems like itd work though, its the exact movement with resistence.


This or get a punching bag and just go all out on it.
