@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.
@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 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
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?

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.
