Ikr one love

[@samb4601]

Thoses videos make me stop watching porn!

[@jean4j_]

Hence the precision part of Precision Striking

[@Player_Zeesh]

Just the video I was looking for!! Keep up the good work man

[@kernel1kadafi]

This is exactly my problem! Your a genius my man

[@tedagoviku8560]

Never disappointed from ur vids

[@gerard1317]

Shoulders have been messing me around as well...seen a specialist and working on strenthening....the exercises you've showed are extremely similiar to what I was showed,Definetly good advice!

[@lance-biggums]

It's also really important for anyone throwing lots of punches to do a lot of external rotation work to keep the shoulders healthy. And stretching once in a while after training

[@CrazeeFy]

Oh Thank God, someone with sense in this comment section

[@rbellamy804]

Appreciate this video man! I tore my rotator cuff 3 months ago. Not fun. You should consider doing a whole series on boxing injuries and tips on healing/ rehab.

[@ffnovice7]

Absolutely love these scientific, heuristic investigations into the finer points of the sweet science. The rehab side of training is criminally overlooked. Thanks for giving this stuff the attention it deserves!

[@K87jk]

You are so right about this and this is one of if not the best video on yt explaining hook and rotator cuff problems. Before I got into combat sports,heavy bags and all that I was hitting the gym and learned a lot about the bodies anatomy,tendons,muscles and all that good stuff. I had some problems with my subscapularis and when I started learning hooks on the bag I immediately felt pain in my wrists to the outside and my rear delt area (back shoulder). Ofc my hooks where strong but with bad form but even before I ever did anything combat related I had my body tweaked and fxcked in certain places (like scoliosis,left hip capsule,flat feet...) Anyways I did a lot of face pulls, band workouts for shoulders and ofc I always warm up. Having a strong rear delt helps too but subscapularis is sooo important in hooks and overhands like the coach said ! Anyways I've made this comment too long, listen to this man work on your subscap and hook form.

[@shadedman2785]

Sometimes I heal and sometimes I don't, I can't give my full. I even hold back for the fear of getting injured again, with right shoulder pain\discomfort. It can be sad looking that if I do injure my right shoulder, I can't block or punch, I won't be able to defend myself. I train around my shoulder if it does happen

[@mcsmoothstyle]

The contributions in these videos make me feel very fortunate. Its information, not just from a boxing trainer, but a boxing trainer who went through these hand injuries first hand, received medical advice and know hows to put together a understandable video. Thank you.

[@Pope2501]

Hey, Taekwondo, kickboxing, Muay Thai, karate, and judo practitioner here. This is a fantastic video for u nderstanding WTH has been going on with my weak left shoulder for twenty years. This is awesome to know I can prehab my shoulders specifically instead of doing a million YTLWs and hoping for good results. Thanks!!!!

[@PrecisionBoxing]

+John-Paul Mitchell thx for sharing your feedback!

[@goldanimal3931]

Ytwl is also good imo

[@bradryba]

your videos have helped me a lot. Thanks

[@sunsaturn3970]

Thanks, JT. Quality, great explanation skills as always.

[@wordpower2710]

Man I was watching your video when I thought: isometrics! Then right away you presented the idea. Iso works wonders for injuries.

[@illuminatty426]

great advice

[@weir-t7y]

Face pulls as well! One of the BEST exercises for this motion.

[@megacraig97]

searchoverload8 face pulls are external rotation, literally the opposite

[@leonardkimble5525]

Thank you! As a older guy. This information was helpful

[@int0the3p1t32]

There is sooooooo much value to extract for combat sports with regards to mobility

[@mustang19ms]

[@karatechris6610]

Great tips as always cheers mate.

[@Shane-zk2pn]

Thanks bro! I have this exact problem with my hooks! I'll start implementing these exercises. Gr8 info as usual 💪

[@PrecisionBoxing]

Thank you Shane, I appreciate your support.

[@ForProfit-x100]

Some of the best fighters in the world utilized elastic recoil which requires you to telegraph your punch more. Not necessarily incorrect technique,but an advanced technique that a beginner should train much later after learning and consistently training the fundamentals.

[@michaeletienne9276]

As usual J, invaluable information! Many, many thanks!!

[@albrooker2949]

Thank you for this. Insanely helpful.

[@carnalcarnage4499]

[@dr.binjohnson7776]

i look forward to all your vids, keep them coming. Your the man and most of us look to you as our trainer in one way or another 💪🥊

[@TurkishHardcore]

Gold video. My left pec was ruptured and after a surgery which was not very satisfying, I tend to drop my arm to "work around it" while throwing hooks. I hope these exercises will help. Thanks.

[@dibujemaestro]

Thanks! I have the same problem. Tendinitis in the sub and Supra scapulars. Nice exercises!

[@roydopaishi]

I’ve been watching more and more of your videos. Very cool channel, loads of helpful information. Thanks for all the value and keep up the excellent work man!

[@Laxmannram115]

Best video brother enjoyed watching this😍😍😍

[@sickyricecooked9497]

[@CrandellGriff985]

I appreciate the knowledge 💯

[@ffs2205]

Great video! i was wondering if you could do a video on upper body since you've done a video on lower body training, thx.

[@canadiancyborg5585]

Another wonder coach! I love the health and fitness aspect integration with still some boxing tips, I’ll definitely work on keeping my hook up 👊🏻

[@roofvoelcom]

Great advice!

[@martinelse9010]

[@pre6605]

very helpful,keepup good work!

[@sheldonbraxton4802]

Keep bring da heat, JT!!!

[@sunriseeternity300]

Very good video. Thank u

[@syndicoftitan8306]

I've noticed that people who throw weak hooks usually don't lift their elbows high enough and "slap". Even a relatively weak person can have powerful punches with good balance and form.

[@calvinprosser8240]

jesse chan punches are about fast twitch muscle fibers not strength..

[@syndicoftitan8306]

I know that and maybe "weak" was a bad adjective to use, but I'm merely pointing out that from my personal experience poor punching power comes from a lack of form, balance, and overall body mechanics; rarely does it (poor punching power) come from a lack of conditioning.

[@calvinprosser8240]

jesse chan yup. Genes and technique....

[@PrecisionBoxing]

Another thing that research is showing is that fast release and rate of force development has to do with the fascia, maybe more so than muscle fibres. It's still something i'm looking into

[@calvinprosser8240]

Precision Boxing I would like to look into that. Recommendations on where to start?

[@JJ-dc9sh]

My labrum tear was what was stopping me.

[@kc1973able]

Livingston Bramble the former WBA Lightweight champion (1984-86) has this problem from throwing his straight stabbing Jab

[@Letsgochamp-kh4wm]

So what movement should you focus on before or after doing the punch? Should I focus on lifting my shoulder up as a cue during body rotation or what? Do I extend my arm and then bring the elbow up?? Thank you 🙏

[@TangoDown48]

I was just looking this up yesterday as I've been wondering for awhile why my hooks are so weak. You're the best JT.

[@NiallHicks]

This has helped so so much

[@waelabbas9608]

Thank you bro

[@TheChattounet]

my problem is the speed of the hook, it look like i'm in slow motion when i do one and people can easily protect them, but still a usefull video

[@ronaldson57]

Can you post a video on switching stances while punching

[@Bilbobaggins-jn3lk]

Great video!

[@kernel1kadafi]

Another great video!

[@victorc.9072]

I feel pain when I throw overhand rights with the palm down, but not when I throw them with the palm in.

[@FlyWithDady]

Wow thzme vidéo i was looking for

[@PunjabiAdventurers]

exactly what i needed. knew my left hook was rubbish, sometimes i feel i am southpaw even though i am right handed as my right hook is alot more accurate and i dont get the tricep pain on contact.

[@smithibrachypelma7662]

Excellent!!!

[@seniknine]

I actually had to do those movement workouts for my shoulder after I was hit by a car when I was younger. Went to rehab and out of 7 other movement exercises and stuff, those were two of them. It's legit, it works, my shoulder is fine. Actually just started muay thai training again yesterday and the trainer liked my hooks- saying he loved the "snap" I have in them. If this is your issue with hooks, listen to this man. I cannot stress that enough. This is 100% legit, folks.

[@PrecisionBoxing]

+Senik Nine great to hear that you're back to 100%!

[@bazusahu4298]

Very helpful sir

[@mafiel1843]

Oh my god I've been trying to figure out why my left arm does that pullingdown rotation thing when trying to punch it looks funny and slow.Thanks for sharing!

[@sven4185]

have you improved yet?

[@goofball9292]

Thank you

[@JuanGomez-sr9ft]

Eres un chingon compadre , el mejor instructor.

[@Lamaravilla1244]

Love this video

[@TonyqTNT]

The hook is difficult to understand. After the fist makes contact does the lower forearm contract toward the upper arm, extend a little away from the upper arm, or does the entire arm remain in a fixed contracted position and pull away retract from the target?

[@datdudemickey]

May God bless this fuckin' guy. His vids are magnificent

[@Rootboy420]

If you made an ipad app with instructional videos like your dvd series, I would definitely be ready to pay for such product.

[@PrecisionBoxing]

+Rootboy420 thx, do you already have some of my DVDs?

[@Rootboy420]

Not at the moment but I have watched the trailers and read about them in the past. I wanted to order them but I live in Finland so ordering online is a hassle unless the content is in digital form.

[@batistesyouthfit9982]

Yo u are great bro!!

[@kaarl1815]

The problem for me is the lead hook, (my weaker arm) it feels quite unnatural to torque round unlike my right hook stronger arm

[@ffnovice7]

Kaarl 181 try flexing your shoulder to raise your guard and have your arm aligned either horizontally or even to the extreme like an overhand

[@calvinprosser8240]

lefu horrible advice...

[@ffnovice7]

Calvin Prosser thanks I hope you give it a shot as well

[@roadrunnerblink]

The way I got over that 'unnatural' feeling of throwing the left hook was to practice throwing a stone/tennis ball as far as i could with my left arm . After thousands of repetitions of this it slowly starts feeling similar to when you throw with your right (strong) arm. It does take a lot of reps though and I don't think you can ever get it exactly the same as your strong arm.

[@kaarl1815]

roadrunnerblink I will give that a go, sounds like it would definitely help. I can change to southpaw and then my lead hook is my right hand, which feels very strong, but as I said it's just my left hook as lead that isn't great

[@ejthetruth1680]

This is all good tips but from experience I would suggest swimming it works super wonders

[@doomedyouth6296]

Great videos but you have an info button recommending more buttons in top right-hand corner and then two more squares with other videos pop up toward end of video

[@PrecisionBoxing]

+doomed youth click on them

[@sumitdaniel6630]

Thanks Bro that was helpful🙏. I'm no fighter but have done a little bag work over d years for fitness. I only recently tried to learn the hook & am not able to get the full wrist rotation or exact movement (connect with the 'pre-knuckles' area...so without gloves i will break maybe wrist 'n fingers if i punch someone.

[@jubas8273]

Thanks for video. I have a little different problem: left hook is powerfull, but right is not.

[@hoomanjafarian1137]

Hi very good i had this problem with hook fist but i have understand that we have three kinds of hook fist that depends on your distance with your opponent

[@zeeunveil1324]

Coach of my life

[@razforh7625]

Very helpful

[@karatechris6610]

I have a torn rotator cuff. But will still try to use it.

[@CrazeeFy]

That's only aggravating the problem

[@kevinvargas5329]

Shoulda mentioned what kind of doctor did u see

[@PrecisionBoxing]

+kevin vargas chiro

[@unclejunebug7178]

JT can you please do a video on how to control a fighter from arm placement like Loma/mayweather/AJ etc...

[@kevgh3869]

Very intelligent.

[@MrPatspp]

Great! Now, this is to strengthen but, how to throw a good liver shot to not hurt your shoulder like this?

[@pound4pound740]

I have pain on my left trap muscle I always thought it was my rotator cuff

[@khabib5918]

Even UFC fighters do this often and they are pro fighters. Look at the Cody garbrant fight against TJ Dillashaw as Cody always pre drops his hook and you can see him loading up

[@karatechris6610]

When I lift both arms straight up I can't lift my right higher than the bottom of my pecs. I couldn't move my right arm properly for 18 months. I can't afford the surgery in thailand, but I have been working on ways around it.

[@bebo3418]

Just started watching your videos do you have any breathing techniques for when you throw Punch's. Thanks for the videos very helpful

[@joshnell5295]

Can you please make a video on how to stop elbow flaring in boxing

[@mikek3741]

Thanks for the video! I get pain at the top of my shoulder from throwing hooks. Is that subscapularis?

[@TerrenceMCruz]

Same. Talking about the AC joint?? I've always thrown quick, hard landing left hooks & upper cuts. However, several dislocations. As well as 3 surgeries.. I hv stopped sparring & fighting ( Muay Thai & Boxing), but looking at one last fight this summer. Im seeing a Sports Therapist to get the most outta what I've got. As well as starting my re-training in boxing with a great coach. Been coaching Muay Thai for 7 yrs (18 yrs total time involved in sport however). Best of luck to you. ALWAYS work to strengthen the shldr muscles, & tendons. As well as keep your muscles loose in areas to avoid spasms. Which create much pain & can aid in injury. Thanks

[@bigpapicheek8768]

My lower back stops me from throwing a lot of my punches I been training since I was 13 on and off I'm 25 now and ingot everything down but still have problems throwing body shots and my hooks my jab and straight are my bread and butter tho

[@gelatoonconsole8960]

Why is it that you always make the videos I need

[@StephenHopkinsVaults]

i think my left wrist hand is just weak when i hit the bag it feels like its gonna crumble.

[@recreant4385]

i have major shoulder problems and that along with very weak wrists & weak hand muscles equals far less power, i know had my shoulders been healthy and my wrists been stronger aswell as my hand muscles then i would have a very heavy hand cuz right now i have to rely on volume punching too win fights cuz either my shoulder gets irritated ,hurt or my hand or wrist goes boom and it realy gets in the way of my training but im working on it i at this moment have one of the hardest punches in my gym but it could be better thanx

[@finalword4283]

RECREANT stop punching with focusing on your middle knuckle. It sticks out to much which causes hand and wrist injuries. I know it feels the most sturdy. The problem is it doesn’t distribute enough of the force between your hand correctly. The line of power is in your ring finger knuckle. Which will naturally distribute the force to the rest of your hand equally. Advice from Jack Dempsey. Check out his book “Championship Fighting”

[@bigmember5908]

I would say Hooks are my best punches but I watched anyway!
