Your lats, traps, and biceps determine the upper limit of how hard you can punch. They act like limiters similar to how the low back acts in a squat. The triceps and shoulders are the main driver of that power once the rest are strong enough. The strongest boxers I've trained with can put up stupid numbers on shrugs, pullups, and OHP compared to the rest of their program. For MMA guys it was those plus deadlifts, squats, and bicep curls.

I literally used to fight for a living you moron. When it comes to upper body striking, you have a point that the core is a big contributor, but it's the arms, back, and shoulders that have a way bigger impact on punching power, and the core gets worked enough when you're running drills and doing bag work. The rest of my core work was deadening the nerves and firming it up so taking body shots wouldn't be as bad. The only time I ever saw guys in my gyms working on their legs with stuff like squatting was when they were fricking around. MMA guys worked their legs because they wrestled and threw kicks but for punching that's not the case at all and any boxer with professional experience would just as likely call you stupid for this take.
I'd just shoot you. Why would I work harder than I need to in a fight to the death with weapons? Besides you've never touched that katana other than putting it up on the wall as decoration. We both know that. You have no idea how to use it
I have long reach (just under freakish).
I have strong triceps that for some reason get big very fast.
I have a short bicep insert that doesn't cover the whole range of the humerus. Don't know if it's relevant. I know bodybuilders like their bicep insert to be more covering the whole humerus.
I wide clavicle+shoulders.
I feel that I could be a good boxer if I put in the work.
Do you know if long or short bicep is relevant?
I'm all fast twitch fibers and explosive. Low vascularity. Old man used to be a bodybuilder. He still hits the gym. As a kid I was always the fastest by a wide margin when sprinting.

Yeah, funny you would claim that, dumbass.
Watch Smoking Joe Frazier failing hard at overhead pressing during a 70s game show.
Yes. There is no muscular contraction occuring which causes the extension of your arm, in what would be referred to as a "push movement", involved in a punch
Biceps traps and back feel sore as frick but shoulders chest and triceps feel fine

Thanks m8, gonna do push-ups and shoulder press
Punching power doesn't come from your arms moron the power is generated by your lower body and core

who do you think would win a fight to the death, you -- who "used to fight for a living you moron" -- or me, with my katana?

>t. never studied the blade
Hey homosexual shut the frick up and sit down
Listen here. While you were "I used to be a PrOfeSsIOnAl FigHtEr" I was in Japan studying the blade.
While you were getting punched in the face, I was mowing down asiatics with my katana.
As you lay there, wrestling with a man in a thong, I am perfecting the way of the blade.
How will you use your gun with your homosexual hands cut off?
>t. Not some homosexual who plays touch butt with men

Idiot.
Black person you think an overhead press has anything to do with fighting? Joe Frazier would split your head open like a watermelon you homosexual
>Pull muscles
Muscles don't pull or push, they contract.
Yes. There is no muscular contraction occuring which causes the extension of your arm, in what would be referred to as a "push movement", involved in a punch
ye thanks I did a push workout and was able to maneuver it without feeling the fricking soreness
My lats and obliques are the only muscles ever sore from bag work. Shoulders were when I was a beginner but have much more endurance now.
I played Thrill of the Fight for like 2 hours and had sore abs for like a week.
Not even hitting something, just punching the air.
No, but it depends on how you strike. Straight through hit different muscles than hooks for instance.
