Cable punches won't get you there. We break down what actually builds explosive punching power: intent to move, external focus cues, balanced push-pull training, and why bench press still earns its place in a fighter's programme. Recorded off the back of Mayweather vs McGregor, but the principles apply to any athlete who needs to generate force fast.

- Intent to move is a lifting concept that maximises the power and strength development of weight training
- External points of focus are best when lifting for power that’s why you should try and push the ground on your lower body lifting and push ups
- Push vs Pull - Keep your upper body training balanced for symmetry, a happy rotator cuff and eccentric control of your throwing

- Are you danger blind? For most males (and some females) in their teens and twenties the answer is probably yes!
