How do some people hit so fucking hard? George Foreman with his punches, Igor with his kicks? What treaining can improve it? Deads?

Bone density! Start hitting some oak :D

Practice throwing punches regularly and continually work on your technique.

I think that you can improve with hard training and commitment over a long period with specific exercises/training, but it's mostly genetic... George Foreman is freakiest genetic marvel in the history of heavyweight boxing, if not in boxing overall, and for sure one of in history of sports...

It's all in the hips.

One must know and master his own chi and harness it into his fists for optimal destructive face-breaker punches.

George Foreman took his BCAAs, whey isolate powder, and EFAs religiously.

The biggest trick is knowing how to coordinate as much of your body as possible.
You want every muscle group in your body aiding in the final impulse before you make contact.
Your peak force happens in different time frames depending on the body part.
You need to know which muscle parts start when.
It's like trying to get multiple people to hit the same point at the exact same time, while having very different arm and leg lengths, reaction times and body weights.
Your muscles produce force on a curve, you need multiple curves of different length peaking at the same point in time and space.
But anyways genetics gives an amazing advantage in this.
I could be wrong, but you got this thing called motor neurons or some shit in your arms.
Anyways they are like on switches for your muscles, kinda like taste buds. The more motor neurons per muscle the more degrees of usage you have(better coordination)
Anyhow the ratio of motor neurons can in the end define how well your bicep tricep, forearm, abs, delts, etc can work together.

Genetic, guy on my football team in college weighed like 180 but he hit the hardest by far. He just naturally had the ability to use his whole body to deliver a shot. He almost killed a player on the other team he got his helmet under the kids chin. They had to cart the poor kid off the field. His football career was over forever.

Practice this daily with a friend to build up power.

genetics
you got it or you dont
cant turn a chiouaoua into a pitbulll

Mostly genetics. Same reason a 5'8" 150 pound guy can throw a baseball 100 mph from 60'6" away while a 6'4" 240 jacked up dude can't break 75 mph from the same distance.
Flintstones throws at 110 mph.
-
Flintstones throws at 110 mph.
Then catches it at the other end?
-
Flintstones throws at 110 mph.
No way. 102 max I say. He could probably only play for a shitty team like the Tigers and barely make the All Star team.

Need to find this guy

Flintstones throws runs at 110 mph.

frank shamrock said it best,U CANT TEACH POWER ,ofcoarse we can all learn to punch harder and faster but some guys just naturally hit hard.

Technique... of course, but most heavy hitters hands were huge.
Foreman, Frasier, Shavers, Norton, Holmes, Liston... they all had fists like sledgehammers.

true,i got a picture with tank abbott who was a very hard hitter in his day and his hand is 3 times the size of mine and my hands aint exactly small
-
Like has already been said - punchers are born
Not all are extremely big guys with huge hands, but it helps
Marciano, Dempsey, Duran, Hearns all had bone crunching power, but not real big guys, just "had it", with obvious technique for sure

Not to mention Tyson who was tiny for a heavyweight but devastating. I think the "born" is true too, i can't remember a single boxer who didn't start with knock out power then gained it later in their career.

1) Genetics. Limb proportions, coordination among the limbs, muscle fiber composition, etc.
2) Technique. Practice makes the motion more efficient, maximizing power
Keep in mind, knockout punches are about placement & power. Hit somebody in just the right spot, and it wont take much power to drop em

you want punching power read this(Google Translate it) I read this years ago when training regularly in Wing tzun. Close grip Bench press...not Biceps because it effects your punch.

Genetics trump everything in sport but of course you can increase your power.
Power often gets confused with strength but it's a separate entity yet somewhat related. An example of this is a power lifter who can squat 700lbs but he can't jump up and touch the basket ball rim. That's a guy who is strong but has no power. Power is how quickly you can release strength and it's one of the most important athletic attributes. I have seen heavy benchers punch the heavy bag like a woman yet see a guy who can barely bench 225lbs hit the bag like a gorilla.
To increase your punching power hitting the heavy bag is one of the best exercises. Also with time hitting the bag you will train your body to hit the bag with your whole body instead of arm punches. A devastating punch comes from your whole body through a complicated interplay of kinesiology using a lot more muscle than your arms, delts and pecs. Some misinformed say use the bench to increase punching power. You would be better off using the clean and press from a kinesiology stand point.

Louie to the rescue!

Good post Rich. when you look at the training from say Masutatsu Oyama (Kyokushinkai Karate) and a small guy like Bruce lee. It makes you think.

I value technique more than raw power, ofc if u got both it's a win/win. But most who have power are always sloppy with their technique.
If u see children boxers throw punches u think they have power, but it's because they learned the proper technique to throw a punch.
