Need a stronger, quicker jab

[WayneFlint]

Stretching only?!? i stretch before every workout. are you saying that is all it takes?

Not just basic stretching lol like iceman says scrap is like the Yoda of boxing you will do well to take any advice he gives, look at scraps stretching guide, to put it in laymans, its strength, conditioning, stretching, and recovery all in one. its like advanced stretching but with a fucking turbo on it tbh lol. usually a few well known quite advanced strength building principles thrown in with the stretches mixed with pro-receptive work, static contractions, and a tonn of other well known training principles i cant remember the names of, i really dont have time but i could go on and on believe me theres no end to the benefits of the stretches you will find in scraps guide, and theres loads of them so they dont get boring and keeps the mind happy and brain working as it should which is probably more than half of the game or at least thats what im starting to believe as i go on..

So turn the shoulder, set it (both simultaneous) and near the end youll be leaning forward (side bend) a bit and connect. Connect too soon and you lose alot of power but get the timing of everything right youll feel the hit all the way down your body because there is zero give.

Losing power is almost a certainty if your leaning on the front foot your probably pushing rather than rotating, given the feet and knees are used properly, weight distributed evenly, elbow travelling direct and shoulders rotating properly your only leaving 1 joint the force can escape and thats the wrist, however good elbow placement will ensure your strongest forarm muscle is supporting it instead of the weakest like most do and this is important to get the most you can from your punches in regards to overall effectiveness of the strike, if you roll your wrist regular or maybe once in a blue moon on the heavy bag due to miss judging your range its a good indicator your elbow movement isnt economically sound.

Good elbow placement will also give you a bigger 'sweet spot' as i call it or a bigger allowance in range if thats easier to understand, asin the shot wont be nullified by a glove or whatever quite as easily and for a larger percentage of the shot even if an attempt is made to smother the shot the bones are in a good position for leverage to work its magic and you have the strongest muscle in the forarm supporting the wrists throughout which now makes sense and will help prevent rolling of the wrist and give a much, much bigger allowance in terms of range aswell as a much stronger and faster shot using far less energy and your jab turns from an arm punch into a full body punch.. now you have a jab.

Theres countless useful threads and posts on saddo going into greater detail with the jab, use the search function mate itll help you loads.
