Development of punching power

[Harold101]

I have a question. I'm still young and haven't filled out yet, I have average punching power, do i still have potential to become a harder puncher when I'm physically matured? I know it's all about technique, and I'm getting that down but I was just wondering this. Thanks in advance.

Without hitting the weights and becoming a stronger and heavier hitter that way...

i suggest working on making your technique as perfect as possible. The better the performance of the punch, the harder it will strike.

You believe resistance training could potentially increase power? Actually that does kinda make sence, but I don't know i'd like to hear a second opinion though.
Very true about technique. Definitely the most important thing.

Technique is most important. Next, i would do explosive arm exercises, i.e. plyometric pushups, clapping pullups, campus board work. the campus board is something developed for rock climbing, but from all tests and results that ive seen, it will help develop a monster punch as well. it was developed to increase power, which is what you are looking for in a punch, not strength, which is what you need to do something in a slower fashion. it will develop explosiveness in your forarms, upper arms, shoulder, and back, and help strengthen your hands. it's easy to build... there's schematics online. here is an example of some exercises.

I haven't been a personal trainer for some time now but my knowledge ain't rusty, so here I go! Being that you're still young you body is still developing, that being said your central nervous systems is still imprinting technical aspects of boxing on it's hard drive like a computer. Considering that younger athletes develop strength much faster than more seasoned athletes like myself, strength training can sometimes be a detriment to skill training. If your strength or size is growing more rapidly than your level of skill then it could interrupt the imprinting of skill based movement to your central nervous system. In other words keep more emphasis on skill and let strength training be a supplement to your skills training.

that looks to be an amazing exercise the campus board. u got a link to where i can find a schematic for it. i wanna build someting like that in my basement...

yes, looks bad ass. but climbing anything kind of uses the basic elements. sometimes, if i'm bored, i'll climb these like 160 degree (almost straight up) 15 ft. high swing set poles (about a foot or so in diameter). just like climb up em. helps build the hands and the power.
