Feel free to leave your comments below. Real fighting requires a lot of energy both physically and psychologically. Ordinarily, you will drain very quickly, in fact more muscle mass means more of a draw on your body’s resources. But in a real fight it’s more of the case of how you use your body not what it looks like. Therefore the question relates to generation of force. How much force can you generate in a punch? Generation of force Punching hard and fast relies on the ability to generate a large amount of force in a short period of time. To punch hard you have to be able to accelerate your fist from 0 to 100 as fast as possible. But it’s not just the acceleration that is important it’s the weight of your fists. Think of a heavy mass travelling at high speed, the heavy mass travelling at speed hits with more power. It does more damage. A typical bodybuilder will struggle to generate the same amount of force unless they can enhance their Kinetics Chain. At an advanced level, to punch hard and fast you need to be able to disassociate the weight of your arm from your fist. Basically, your fist is a dead weight and your arm is the action. Think of a ball and chain. Bodybuilders vs Skinny Guys | Who Punches Harder & Fights Better?
