No other lifts have increased the power and explosiveness of my punches as much as the clean + strict press have. It's not only the strength increase but also an increase in coordination and the ability to use my entire body as a chain. I know olympic lifting puts a lot of strain on the shoulders and it might lead to injuries from overuse since hitting pads/bags/sparring/drills also involve a lot of shoulder work but is there another reason?
