power leg exercises

A workout to double its power to strike

You know that real power is generated drilling and freedom? It's in the last inch or two of motion. Legendary martial arts, Bruce Lee, was known to demonstrate this fact with his famous hit "of an inch." Lee would position his fist one inch in front of the abdomen of a subject and - without moving your hand back whatever - could spark a coup to lift the subject off his feet and throw in a chair waiting several feet behind him.

Many boxing and martial arts techniques involving reorientation intercept or strike an opponent or kick before it reaches full extension. These techniques are only possible due to the reduction of the energy contained in a punch or kick before the extension complete.

A key secret of great punching power is knowing how to train your muscles to deliver huge power in the exact range is more effective: the last inch!

Neuromuscular Efficiency vs. Muscle Building

Any serious boxer or martial artist will throw tens of thousands of bumps in the road training. A professional will throw a million. These repeats include effectiveness neuromuscular pathways between the brain and muscles. Are these many repetitions that make throwing a strike fast, accurate and effective second nature. However, all those repetitions do virtually nothing to develop strength in the muscles.

If you want Powerful ... you have to pump some iron. Iron. Think about that punch "of an inch" is not only the hand speed or delivery technique that launches the opponent into the air. Muscle strength is anchored in the ground by leg muscles and transmitted through the muscles shoulders and arms. Here is how to train muscles for maximum power.

Training punch power arm

This exercise includes a static contraction of the leg exercise for two reasons. First, as mentioned above, power drill comes from the beginning and strong legs are essential. Try to imagine how weak your shots would be if suspended above the ground by a cable and can not anchor your feet. Every shot that was barely swing and impact on your opponent.

The second reason to train your legs, is that they contain the largest muscles in the body and cause greater anabolic effect on the central nervous system. This anabolic effect is transferred to each muscle group. So heavy leg training literally builds strong arms!

For the next two months do your normal routine of weight training, except substitute these four static contraction exercises of what you are now using to these muscles. Do these exercises no more than once a week and when one of them does not increase at least 3% add three days additional free from all weight-lifting workouts.

Legs

Static Contraction Finger press: This will build the power in your calves. Move the sled on the leg press to the top position. Weight instead of over 150% to 250% in the leg press than you usually use. Place the balls of the feet on the bottom of the sled with the heels together on the sled. Use your calf muscles to press your toes forward and move the sled of an inch. Do not remove the safety stops on the machine! That way the sled can not descend to the rank weak. Hold that static position for 5 seconds while exhaling. If you can keep longer the weight is too light. Next workout, increase the weight of 25% and target a 10-15% increase each workout for the next two months.

Static Contraction Leg Press: Use the same setup and procedure as above but plant your feet firmly on the sled. Use the power in your quadriceps to press the sled up one inch and keep it there. Again, do not remove the safety stops on the sled! Hold this position static for 5 seconds while exhaling. No lock out. If you can keep longer the weight is too light. Next workout, increase the weight of 25% to launch to a 10-15% increase each workout for the next two months.

Shoulders

Sitting Static Contraction Press shoulders: This is based on power over the entire shoulder girdle. Use a shoulder press machine that allows you to limit the range of motion. (You can also set a bar within of a power rack or use a Smith machine.) Position the bar two inches below her are in scope. Place more weight from 50% to 150% in the bar what we normally use. Using a shoulder width grip, press the bar up one inch. Hold that static position for 5 seconds while exhaling. No lockout. If you can keep longer the weight is too light. Next workout, increase the weight of 15% and shoot for 5-15% increase each workout for the next two months.

Triceps

Static contraction Close-Grip Bench Press: Your triceps extend your arm during a blow. This is a fantastic exercise for building massive power into the triceps. The position of the bar in a power rack or Smith machine so that it is two inches from its greater reach. Place more weight from 50% to 150% on the bar than you normally use. Using a narrow grip with your hands about 4 inches or less distance, press the bar up one inch. Hold that static position for 5 seconds while exhaling. No lockout. If you can keep longer the weight is too light. Next workout, increase the weight of 15% and shoot for a 5-15% increase each workout for the next two months.

Conclusion

This static contraction routine will skyrocket the strength in the most essential muscles used to deliver powerful moves. It will give punching power mass in the exact range of motion you need. Use this routine for two months and it fell like a jackhammer!
