Distance running isn't strength it's endurance and aerobic cardio. Strength is the ability to exert maximum force. How do you not know that?
You build strength, then coordinate those strong muscles through technique. Punching power comes from both, it's insane to argue otherwise unless you don't know what strength is--which you keep demonstrating. You can keep describing technique to me all you want. I know that. I know how to throw a punch. What you don't know is that being strong and knowing how to throw a punch is always better than being weak and knowing how to throw a punch.
BTW, working with shitty S&C coaches doesn't discredit good ones. It just means you worked with shitty ones. Your experience doesn't mean shit in the grand scheme of things, and neither does mine. Not when compared to professional athletes in every fucking sport.
I'll say it again. You don't know more than all the professional athletes and coaches in the world. You're in denial of reality.
Jesus, how many times are we going to go around this bush?
Distance running is aerobic cardio and endurance... MUSCULAR endurance... Muscular Strength, which is a blanket term.
You say you can strengthen your muscles by lifting weights, which in turn will make your technique faster and more powerful, when the truth is, it is proper technique and drilling that produces the speed and power of martial arts techniques.
Once again.
Fighter A: weights 170, has developed punching power of 30psi through drilling and technique.
Fighter B: weighs 170, has developed punching power of 30 psi through identical drilling and technique as fighter A. Fighter B has also conditioned and shaped his muscles to be able to squat 300lbs, bench 250lbs, and deadlift 400lbs
They both weigh the same, and both have the same technique so they both have the same punching power. Lifting weights doesn't factor into this equation at all.
Are you saying that weights do factor in and that fighter B reached a punching power of 30 psi through technique and lifting weights? In that case Fighter B's technique is garbage and will be punching at a significantly slower speed than fighter A who developed his 30 psi punching power through technique alone.
Or are you saying that there's no way fighter A could have equal punching power to fighter B because he doesn't lift weights? Remember you said they both weigh the same and have equal technique which means they will be transferring their weight through the same process and at the same speed if their technique is indeed equal.
Doesn't matter anyway, weight lifting doesn't effect punching power the way you think it does. It only factors in if weight lifting was used to gain more body weight to transfer through the mechanics of the punch.
You believe that building, conditioning, and strengthening your musculature through weight lifting will somehow make you punch faster and harder, but that's just bro science and not proven anywhere.
Building, conditioning, and strengthening your musculature through punching is the only PROVEN method to allow you to punch faster and harder<---- FACT, and the only actual fact that has been laid out in our 15 post discussion.
