You Are Born With Punching Power

[Von Milash]

long story short: yes.

Missy, I'll give you an example of how baseball players increase their throwing arm strength. They stand on the warning track of center field with a bucket of baseballs and throw them as far as they can towards home pate. Then they ice their arm.

They do this daily until they are where they need to be.

It's that simple.

Interesting factiod - Sandy Koufax broke down the biomechics of pitching himself, stetching out the process on paper, breaking down step by step. From this he figured out how to generate the most arm speed by turning his pitching motion into a a double catapult.

But not everyone has the body the be able to generate that kind of motion with way he did to give him that kind of velocity, and not everybody has hands as big as his that allowed him the throw that overhand curve so sharply.

It's a combination of techique and genetics. Anybody can be taught to hit hard, just like anybody can be taught to throw a baseball 70 mph. Not everybody can be taught to throw 90, just like not everybody can develop truely great power. Somebody with amazing athleticism might be able to throw a ball 70 from jumpstreet, but they will never maximize their velocity without proper technique. Punching power is the same.
