Squats are the punchers choose of exercise Boxer's Punch and Dumbbell Squat | Fitbie
When you throw across the body punch you will get hit in the ribs! Believe I was hit hard last night. Here's what I'm talking https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wdPP0TmqKiU
I'm well aware of how squats are beneficial to boxers. But they lack a rotational component for very obvious reasons.
That has literally nothing to do with hip rotation. He's explaining how making punches straight is more effective than making them faster.
You're all over the place man. What the hell are you even trying to say?
That on that video is not what you are talking mate. That is a straight right hand, more so a vertical fist snapping shot more like a rear snap like a jab and the guy is in an upright straight on front stance. It isnt a cross with a turning thumb and rotating fist with a shift in axis from the feet through the hips (that style is committed fully so you only throw that when you are safe to do so not standing up straight in front of someone like in the video.
If you are throwing a cross like you would if you were in your preferred boxing stance: head off center, slightly squat in a comfortable perfect front stance, ready for action and for the sake of the exersize: lets say you had stepped out square and thrown a cross over a feeler of a jab, or fully slipped a jab to the otuside with it over your left shoulder and then threw a cross over it as the guy was retracting his arm (thats safe then) or the opponent being already spent on one side and off center to you after fighting sqaure on and he has moved; If you are throwing the full committed cross without a situation arising like those when its safe to so, then of course you will be getting hit in the ribs cause you are throwing the wrong shot at the wrong time nothing else,it has nothing to do with the hip revolving or not and you opening up your ribs to the opponents left hand.He shouldnt be anywhere near being able to reach your ribs on that side of you cleanly as an opening.
