Tiring lead arm

[boyla]

Are you tensing your arm before you punch, you should only contract your fist when you punch makes contact, I know that helped me.

Punches, should be thrown relaxed, it allows you more speed and makes you hit with more power.
Try tensing you muscles as you throw punches, then try relaxing your muscles and throwing combinations, notice a difference.
Keep them relaxed.

You will develop strength and endurance the more you practice, soon you will not notice your lead arm getting tired.
If it is a new activity it will take time for your body to adapt.

You should not be dropping your arm at any point during a bout or sparring, concentrate on your defense and conditioning.

Remember to include rest days in your training as it will allow faster recovery and give bigger improvements in your boxing skills and fitness.

I am not doubting your expertise, just wondering: this stick stretching always was scary for me. I do not like the sound the joint makes when you pass from the front to the back. I mean by bringing the stick, that you keep with to hand from the front body plane to the back plane. For how long you have been doing such an exercise?

Thanks!

I always knead out my shoulders at night. start with a tennis ball, to cricket ball, to golf ball for severe knots. But once the lactic acid thresholds are up it shouldn't be an issue if the technique is good.
