Skill Development Blueprint drops on Monday. This is not a collection of drills. It’s an ENTIRE framework for retaining, refining, and pressure-testing your movement acquisition & strategic game in any area. ⬇️ This will cover:

𝙃𝙊𝙒 𝙏𝙊 𝘼𝘾𝙏𝙐𝘼𝙇𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙐𝙄𝙇𝘿 𝙎𝙏𝙍𝙄𝙆𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙋𝙊𝙒𝙀𝙍, 𝘽𝙊𝙉𝙀 𝘿𝙀𝙉𝙎𝙄𝙏𝙔 & 𝙋𝙍𝙀𝘾𝙄𝙎𝙄𝙊𝙉 𝙏𝙀𝘾𝙃𝙉𝙄𝙌𝙐𝙀 𝙁𝙊𝙍 𝙈𝘼𝙍𝙏𝙄𝘼𝙇 𝘼𝙍𝙏𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙎 (Most trainers on X have surface level knowledge they scraped from other creators… This is real training info ⬇️) ——— The heavy bag is rarely used correctly. Like barbells and dumbbells it is able to be used to train using different exercise formats & create different adaptations. Most just simply try to hit the bag hard and get tired using it as an arbitrary target. The point of the bag is that it holds weight which creates resistance upon impact. (Like a barbell which generally creates resistance *during contact*) We can use this to: > Create high impact stiffness with strikes (Weight of the bag provides stronger plyometric overload that shadow boxing & light pads do not). This will develop the tendons and soft tissues that translate force into contact. How to: Perform bag work at a slower pace of total reps but with high power, so that your endurance systems do not reduce power output. Treat these strikes like you treat explosive lifts. Long rest periods. ——— > Condition the bones of the shins & upper limbs (striking lower on the bag will increase impulse) Impacts with more “weight” behind them will increase bone density in the stressed targets over time. How to: Perform repeated accumulations of reps landing with the same surface area on your body at an intensity you can handle aiming to land lower on the bag. This is where more of the padding material rests. Note: Strike only at an intensity that is tolerated. Hands are much more fragile than shins. ——— > Drill technical accuracy at maximum power against a non-compliant target (no assistance in accuracy or impact quality from the pad holder) Striking with perfect form is not an isolated movement - it’s a relationship between how you transfer force and the location of a target. The collision you can manage is what determines strike effectiveness. You must be able to land with high effect on a *small target* while honoring other tactical considerations. How to: Pick a technique you are going to develop and strike the bag at a specific marked target point with both perfect form and accuracy on target. Increase speed and power without form deterioration, and attempt to continue to strike the bag with perfect accuracy while it swings. ——— Simply wailing away on the bag like 99% of people do is like strength training by just messing & around getting tired with general weighted exercises and no format or protocol. It will still benefit the above at the start due to the beginner gains effect. But this will taper off unless you get more structured.

𝗗𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗖𝗞𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗣𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥 ———— Striking is a plyometric. You need to throw less medicine balls and landmine punches. Stop punching with bands. Instead… Start performing upper body plyometric work and hitting bags that weigh hundreds of pounds. I actually developed increased striking power over a long period of time because I’ve been doing this my whole life properly. I have made more improvements in this than anyone else that I know if I’m being honest. Even the top famed professionals in my industry have this wrong because they were gym rats first and martial artists second. I always trained with the intent of combat performance first, and only adopted from strength conditioning what translated. My methods did not take fitness protocols that were popular and tried to justify them for sport like many coaches, who took an interest in MMA by the time they were already an adult. We have tested over many years a power punching program that will be released soon. I can promise you it is the BEST striking explosiveness training tool on the Internet. If you LIKE FOLLOW + REPOST I’ll share it with you ahead of time before it’s released in order to make any final tweaks for an online audience member. I will DM you the program afterwards. Only sending to a couple people as I can’t let too many get it free. Otherwise, stay tuned.
