How do i need to train to be able to throw quick, full force punches?

Question

im a tall, skinny guy, but i dont consider myself VERY fast. i notice that my strongest punch is usually my first punch. and im not very good at connecting with combos or being able to throw multiple strong punches.

i was watching clips of mike tyson training and he can throw 5-7 different punches in a row lightning quick. and it looks like every punch he threw was full force and could knock some one out.

what or how should i train if i want to be able to throw multiple punches quickly but with a lot of power also? work out my core? weights? free weights? cardio? tips and suggestions please.

Answer 1

build your bicepts and forearms. make sure to focus on where you land your punches

Answer 2

train like a boxer.. here's a couple of vids.  NOTE that you can train for EXPLOSIVE POWER with very little gear, very little expense.. i highly recommend the Sledgehammer and Sandbag techniques.  these two vids will get you started.  beyond this, just search youtube for "sledgehammer" , "sandbag training" etc...

Answer 3

Balance and pivot excercises with a medicine ball

Answer 4

Ginkgo Biloba and Vitamin B will help you out regardless how little you train because it reduces fatigue so even if you're exercising and training 1 hour a way, you'll see gain more than if you train 4-5 hours a day without Vitamin B. Oh, remember to HYDRATE!
