How to "chamber" the long range rear hook?
Not a go to shot I know but worth knowing every punch imo. Pacman uses it, Earnie shavers uses it. (with a slip but not turning it into an overhand)
So if you were orthodox it would be a right hook. Thing is a right hook how they are meant to be thrown is real simple you merely torque the hips raise your elbow and slightly adjust the arm for range.
But at long range this doesn't work because you have to adjust the arm real far and the arm doesnt get to travel a huge loop and build up a ton of speed and power.
The only way I know how to throw this shot for max power is to drop my rear hand to my waist before I throw it, then you can start a big loop from behind you and get some serious power.
Do you HAVE to drop the hand to get that big loop on this punch? Or can it be done straight from the guard?

Got it so best to drop the hand let it fly back as your hips rotate then come all the way around with your elbow behind it.

At no point in that video does he address a long range rear hook, and honestly man I have no idea what were trying to write. That's not in any way a sentence.

When I wrote that post I was tired what I meant to say was that power comes from your feet and smaller joints. Only a small percentage of power comes from the hips the problem is when you torque your hips violently you lose balance. Thats called reaching into the punch try it and see.

Still the clip at 0:41 in no way does Mike Tyson torque the hips violently as he says his power comes from leverage and bending the knees. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5jn1RZuKmDE

What is the role of the shoulders?
