Why do most super muscular guys punch weak?

[aries]

I think where strength training detriments striking is that peak force is achieved later than is desired. So the greater weight works against you before your force can be relevant.

I believe that my striking certainly hasn't gotten any stronger as my numbers have increased, but that subjectivity means little.

That was certainly my experience too. I improved my limit strength a great deal but I wasn't seeing the big increases in striking power. When I added ballistic training however I did see immediate and large gains in power. Limit strength training for striking isn't imho your best bet for improving striking power.

I always viewed by strength training more as injury prevention rather than increasing my punching power.
