What can i do to make my punches stronger?

Question

Should i buy a punching bag? Also what muscles are used when punching?

Answer 1

Heavy bag. A hanging heavy bag not a wavemaster, etc... Buy a pair of 16 oz boxing gloves and hand wraps. Everlast prostyle are pretty good and cheap. With punching it is every thing from you feet up to neck. You use your legs and body to add power to your punch. Core exercises and heavy bag training. There are videos of boxing training on google videos and yahoo videos. Also look at hand position and alignment when you punch. It is a lot easier on the wrists.

Answer 2

Work on the heavy bag and build your bicep muscles.
