Default Re: interesting punch force comparison

Absolutely, I would expect that any exercises that produce upper body hypertrophy would produce an increase in punch strength due to gains in mass.

With that said, while I would assume the heaviest MMA/Boxers and Powerlifters would score highest force on this punching machine, even total force isn't necessarily relevant to how effective your punches are. Knowing how and where to punch someone is far more important than punching them as hard as possible, so I agree that technique is by far the most important factor.


Still, would be fun to give this thing a try.
