These exercises are great. However, punching power has alot to do with build, fast twitch fibers and technique. Two of those are genetic. Some people never get ko power :\
The movement is effective but the execution shown in the video features a range of motion through the legs that is deeper than most punches; when punching, most punches are not thrown from a complete crouch position (though some are, particularly counters thrown after a crouch position is taken to avoid the opponent's strike). When adding this exercise to a training routine, vary the deepness of the stance between sessions to accomodate for varying punches.
I know you posted this a while ago but just thought i'd share my oppinion. I do agree with you, however the excercise still is working the same fundamental muscles and movements involved in a normal punch - the twist in the hip and shoulder and the extension of the arm.
So i still believe that this would be a useful "addition" to a training program, i also use the technique of shadow boxing with dumbells :)
@philchangster That's a negative. This is a rotational movement. The barbell provides a pivot, and without that this exercise would just be a front squat and press. Sure, those are also good exercises in themselves, but they won't do all that much for your punching power.
Hey, do you guy know any other exercises like this? I know the exercise with a medican ball and sledg hammer swings, but do you guys know any more?

Yes, I wonder how frequently it should be done to maximise it's effectivness and to avoid overtraing with it?

You can use a dumbell for these according to Juan Carlos Santana.... Don't know what Gile's take is on it but
