Build Punching Power in The Gym

Learn how to build punching power in the gym! Learn from one of the hardest punchers out there in Joe Valtellini!
Punching power is the amount of kinetic energy in a person's punches. Knockout power is a similar concept relating to the probability of any strike to the head to cause unconsciousness. Knockout power is related to the force delivered and precision of the strike.

Glad to see such short video, snappy and easy to pick up, wish to see more of build punching, kicking and blocking power in the Gym.

[@Not2Be0utDone]

Background music is a bit loud and distracting imo

[@ThePitbull994]

Hell yeah! I’m so excited about this kind of videos, keep em coming Joe.

[@Jonathan-pg2hd]

Great channel I’m trying to find weighted exercises to do while I’m at the gym to improve punching power - so this vid is great!

[@neomileft3409]

Thanks man. May God bless you and your subscribers more.

[@mhypi]

thanks for sharing Coach . I have to say that i was waiting for a more technical and structured video, something like the kickboxing playlist.

Awesome stuff Joseph thank you very much

Great stuff! More training videos like this please.

Great video some great information need more videos for strength and conditioning for martial arts

[@adam190]

Keep it up Champ. Content was great

[@chucknorris202]

Great video as always Joe! Ya know, bringing your arm back to guard position is maybe even more important than punch speed itself, or so my coach tells me. Says it causes the punch to have more whip, and I believe him, I always punch hardest whenever I throw 100% and bring my punching arm back to guard position 120% speed.MUCH more explosive.

[@mdjonayed5033]

Thanks Joe for another informative videos...keep them going....Do one video on shuffle step...By the way,you looking awesome

[@mylesbennetcoronadyson6929]

2:00 i came up with that all by myself in my back yard. I swear if i was born in an older time there are many professional techniques in lifting and fighting that I have figured out by myself.

Ciao Giuseppe !!!vogliamo vederne di piu di questi video!!!!

[@dar540]

Probably worth noting this will build strength not power. Power is the expression of force over time. You need to practise explosiveness after building an adequate strength base. When training explosiveness train low reps low sets regularly with a weight that you wont go to failure with. You dont want failure or lactic buildup you are just gradually increasing the recruitment pattern. Even explosive bag work is good to express the strength you have built. Keep it safe and smart though some people think power training is throwing shit mad fast.

[@joeberger3441]

True though strength is a precursor to power, and heavy reps tend to require maximal effort which translates to rate of force production (power). The explosive push-ups he did at the end were the closest thing to a pure power workout

[@dar540]

@@joeberger3441 yes but even with explosive push ups I would add a vest to optimise speed strength or strength speed work within the power training protocol.

[@joeberger3441]

@@dar540 that's a fantastic variation. Another one i like is smith bar bench press throw. Just set up a bench press at the smith machine using just 40-60 percent of your max, and press the bar up as explosively as possible into the air (leaving your hands), catch it as it slides back down. And repeat. For short sets.

Thank you so much! This channel is awesome! Can we have a video on how to gain more flexibility and mobility, please?

[@l5cky]

Good video, but music is too loud. :) Also have a question for you: in your opinion is it possible to build strenght for martial arts without weights but doing for example calisthenic exercises only?

[@nemanjatodoroviv261]

Thanks brother

[@christopherjohnblack3526]

Hi sir. When making a rear straight, can you increase the punching power by making a knee extension of the back leg, so in that way the quadriceps of the back legs will contribute to punching power?

[@JamesDownes]

Raymond Daniels in the intro/outro, feel sorry for the guy, how is he in the same weight class?

[@redsox7897]

Do a video for kicking power please

Whats the back ground music

[@danmackay9959]

Sick

[@fightgangstalkingdotcom5525]

I heard isometrics also help with punching power, what's your take on that?

[@joeberger3441]

My humble opinion is that isometrics will help the muscles stiffen up upon impact of a punch. They won't help with rate of force production the way concentric lifting does but they do help with creating a more rigid structure to deliver the force generated by explosive movement.

[@Sk8foxx]

Just wanna say, great video. Didnt enjoy the music being so loud, could've even made the video without music, tbh

[@resulyektaay824]

What kind of fighter do you think Gökhan Saki ?

[@_bach97]

Your the fucking man joe!

[@Primape92]

Iiiiiiis hypertrophy necessary or useful in fighting? 😕 for the longest time I’d sought to build power and strength and not build size or weight.

[@TheKickboxingCommunity]

Background music is a tad bit loud joe. Regardless i love your content

[@jesusguevara6458]

Should you turn your hips and your core on the corner press?or should you be squared up and do it more like a shoulder press?

[@MihirS84]

He definitely wasn't rotating his hips while doing the landmine/corner press.

[@baqikenny]

problem is you are gonna need a hell lot of ballistic stretch(boxing related methods) after these weight execises, if not, then your stretch receptors in the muscle easily stiff out and connective tissues must tell your body to waste a lot of energy to get the muscles moving, and so will your overall boxing skill flow and balance overall. You just gonna make sure you have the time for all of the rehab work,which is guaranteed to more tricky with the more weight training you do, before any fight-specific training for competition

[@xreed4249]

This doesn’t increase anything.

[@harleyzeth]

It absolutely does. Measurably so.

[@harleyzeth]

It works the same way as increasing your vertical jump

[@xreed4249]

harleyzeth yes you can increase your vertical jump by training. But you can’t increase your punching power by doing these exercises. Why? Because I’ve tried them, and It was a waste of time. The only way to increase punching power is to punch a heavy bag.

[@xreed4249]

harleyzeth see mike tyson, Mohammed Ali, George foreman and Holyfield. They all didn’t do these exercises, yet they still had power on their arms.

[@harleyzeth]

@@xreed4249 All those guys did exercises to work on power development. You have to do power excercises not strength. Foreman was known for chopping trees to help tune his power.
