How does power come from the legs?

:P

I was being serious

While were going right into the subject, the new technology of boxing shoes allow people to hit harder from foot purchase and grip than they used to be able to in the days of the leather and powder trays .

[AdamGB]

mustn't be by much though, do you honestly gain anything worth talking about?

I worked very hard on my right cross growing up.
Any trainer is always very impressed with the power i generate from it.

when i started boxing in my teens i was throwing arm punches with no power whats so ever.

in my opinion its all in the hips and shoulders. make sure to follow in with your body weight and swivel on the back foot as you bring it forward.

it takes time but if you perfect it ul notice a big difference

i.e press ups and weight circuits also helped me

With correct technique up to 25% more power is generated think unscrewing a screw with your back foot.also adam looking at your picturers bend the back knee another 5%

The ones I posted in 'lets get it on'?

Normally do, at least on the bags any way only until my last few fights did I manage to get my stance the same as in the gym when competing (ended up flooring a kid with the first punch... ) always used my legs loads... I've developed blody 'snapping hip' because of using my thighs so much

I agree, I was a bit too upright in those pictures. its funny how little things can effect your power quiet a bit.

Andre correct about rubber soles,It helps the muscles around the bottom off the spine, your centre off gravity to respond to guess what

Power comes from the summation of forces i.e. the forces produced in all the joints starting from the big toe through to the ankle and knee etc. eventually ending in the thumb. Timing's everything.
