How to get maximum tension on your hips before you punch?

[OMGWTF]

I tend to get the tension on my knees/quads rather than at my hips, how to max it out at the hips? (I can get the feeling for it at the hips too but I want to know how to really get the tension strong at the hips)

Think Tyson and Fraizier for this, they exaggerate it to the max.

You push down/ off for this method.

I never did manage to get the full hip rotation thing nailed myself.

I do know that you never want to push off the floor with your legs though, except if the situation necessitates it. Normally you want to drop your weight into the punch instead. Pushing off the floor makes your shots ungrounded.

I have a fairly wide stance, what about you?

I was told that a wide stance affords some benefits but restricts hip extension/rotation somewhat.

I have a S&C background but only very basic training experience so hopefully someone knowledgable on it can answer for both of us??

Well,

you need to take a derivative and find its zeroes. Then substitute in the second derivative and find points of min and max. Then sort from min to max, finally choose the max.

Lots of stretching, and good technique.

How will good technique help with rotation?

That is more or less the basis of sound punching technique.
