Extending Arms - Shadow Boxing

[cambay411]

I heard you shouldnt fully extend because of injury. I dont know tho. I keep my hands loose and extend my fingers sometimes to loosen up.

Ask yourself this, if you had a car that had broken down, how would your arms be to push it. So you wouldnt tighten the Tendons or do the Joints damage. Trouble starts with bad maintainanace of Tendons tightening mostly through shock, bringing bad alinement of muscle and joints.

^^ I'd probably just call a tow truck

.. but yea, that makes sense, you would definitely not want to have ur arms fully extended at all.

To be honest, I felt really unnatural when I was fully extending my arms.. it just didn't feel right. But I figured it was just because I was used to throwing quick short shots while I shadow box...

But now, how would u stop yourself from getting into the habit of throwing short range punches and flurries all the time.. I'm a pretty small guy with 67" reach so I need to learn to utilize my range to the best of my ability.
