relation between body weight and punching power?

[doebird]

I read this article that explains some reasons why bodybuilding doesn't neccessarily increase punching power: Why Lifting Weights Won’t Increase Punching Power

It said:

- "Punching power (damage caused) = acceleration (hand speed) x force (muscle strength & body weight)"

- its more efficient to use your body weight for power than to add unnecessary weight to your arms through bodybuilding (this would slow the acceleration of your arm during a punch and lead to underwhelming results)


So I ask the experienced among you: in theory, if someone were to aim to use bodybuilding techniques to build a couple more pounds of muscle in their lower body, would it lead to a more destructive punch? sounds like it would increase body weight without affecting the acceleration of the punch. I'm asking this, regardless of whether it would make your footwork rigid or anything... just interested for the sake of science!!

thanks for your thoughts.
