yeah know what you mean about his technique. think this version would just incorporate the legs allowing you to use more weight. the other versions seem like they isolate the core more
Look under "related videos" to the right of your screen. No one seems to do the "Full Contact Twist" the same way as the man in this video. This is the only video I see where he lowers himself and then explodes back up. Can someone else watch a few related videos and tell me who is using the proper technique and why?
@Rocco402 there different ways baed on wht youre trying to develope.For example the above clip is training leg the tranfer of force from the leg thru torso to arms via core strength .Other versions leave out the legs and other leave out the torso rotation while training anti rotation .This 1 is most applicable to punching but the leg drive is exagerrated
@Rocco402 I'm not completely sure but i think that both of them are acceptable depending on what you want to get from your training. If you want to be explosive and be able to generate a lot of power in a short amount of time you should do it like this guy. I you want big (or more stabile?) core muscles you should do it slower.
@Rocco402 Like a true punch, the power of this exercise comes from getting low and pushing through your legs and hips. You simply can't get the same rotational strength out of it if you are nailing your heels to the ground and swinging with your back.
k.o. punching is all about technique. It comes down to being able to quickly displace all of ones weight. george foreman, julian jackson, gerald mcclellum, john mugabi, earnie shavers, joe frazier, or edwin valero didnt do this
this exercise is definitely the real deal. it develops functional core strength and will help those in sports such as boxing, wrestling, baseball, hockey, and tennis.
I'm very confused as to what he is trying to accomplish here. Creating an explosive twist is truly key to a good punch but that is a static excercise(on the arms) and seems to target parts of your body you could work out better by increasing base strength and flexibility. Or is this exercise mainly pointed at those who use looping punches?
Quality of movement is of paramount importance with this exercise so progress slowly with the weight. Start with the bar and perform 3 sets of 12 reps. Once you have the movement down add 5 pounds, then 10, then 15 - keep going up in small increments. As the weight increases drop the number of reps and focus on explosive speed - try 3-4 sets. Once you can handle 45 pounds in an explosive manner you're amongst the elite. Good luck and feel free to e-mail me at my site.

I've seen this exercise described as "bus drivers" because, with a plate on the barbell, it looks like you're driving a big bus.

80% of punching power comes from the core.
punching strength judged by triceps biceps is mostly an illusion

What would be an ideal set/rep range and weight for someone who is not a beginner, but not too advanced?

depending on your goal and strength cycle you are on. I would say 4 sets of 6 to start off with because I know nothing about your training history.
