The next day, after returning to Yangcheng, Wang Ben returned to his normal life, going to Longwei Boxing Gym to practice boxing every day after school, and practicing Chinese martial arts in the evening.

Since participating in the National Amateur Boxing Championship in Portugal, Wang Ben has realized that his strength is not enough.

The first is to grasp the timing of the punch, the body is not smooth enough, and the rhythm of the game cannot be fully controlled when encountering a boxer with excellent boxing skills.

In fact, boxing matches are fought in a game rhythm, as long as the rhythm is controlled by yourself, it is easy to knock out the opponent.

Another point is that Wang Ben felt that his fatal punch explosion was a little bit closer, and it was difficult to knock the opponent down with one punch when he encountered a player with outstanding defense.

Although he won the championship of the National Amateur Boxing Championship, and all of them were won by knockout opponents, Wang Ben won the title of heavy gunner in the domestic boxing world, but to be honest, Wang Ben is not very satisfied with his boxing strength.

In the boxing match with Xiong Chaofeng and Li Qiang, he punched so many punches to knock out the opponent, especially Xiong Chaofeng, if his body is one more point stronger, I am afraid it will be very difficult to knock out the opponent.

Moreover, this is only a lightweight match, and the weight is around 60kg, if the weight increases, the middleweight boxing match reaches 70Kg, with his boxing explosiveness, can he still knock out the opponent invincible?

No way! A middleweight fighter's ability to resist strikes is not on the same level as a lightweight fighter at all, let alone knocking out a knockout opponent, even if it hurts the opponent.

Therefore, what Wang Ben wants now is to improve his explosiveness again.

Coach Yuan is quite right when he says that in the ring, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the boxing world without a one-hit boxing killer weapon.

The power of Chinese martial arts is very powerful, but it is not so easy to fully integrate with boxing, especially the perfect fusion, and the explosive punching power requires hard training.

Bagua Youlongbu improves the fusion of cannon fists very effectively, but it is not enough.

Every morning, Wang Ben intensified his training, mainly focusing on footwork and body reaction speed training, especially squatting and jumping exercises.

If you want to make your body react faster and better play the timing of your punches, footwork and body agility are necessary training courses, while squat and jump exercises are to increase the explosive power of the muscles in the legs and waist.

There is a misconception here, many people think that boxing is all about kung fu in the hands, and the legs do not need to be specially trained, because boxing is different from other martial arts, it cannot use the feet.

But, on the contrary, if you want to be a good boxer, leg strength is very crucial, and any good boxer, the basic skills of the legs are very solid, and it is very important!

The legs are the key to hitting heavy punches, in Chinese martial arts, in order to improve the boxing technique, it is common to use zama steps to practice leg strength, and the same is true for boxing, the legs are the support and the foundation of the force.

Therefore, boxers' legs are generally very thick, but boxers with high bulging pectoralis muscles are rare, boxing is not bodybuilding, and the high bulging pectoral muscles do not help much with punching power, which will affect the speed of punching.

Squatting and jumping can not only improve the explosive power of the legs, but also exercise the waist strength and body balance, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

Wang Ben first conducted Bagua Youlongbu training in the early morning, and then squatted and jumped, and the strength of his legs improved by leaps and bounds.

I remember that when Wang Ben first started practicing boxing, his strength was 100kg 16 times of squat, and his explosive power was 150kg, before participating in the South China Boxing Championship, his squat performance doubled, and his explosive power reached 250kg, and his strength improved very significantly.

But at the end of the year, Yuan Zhengtu specially tested his physical data for him, and the various physical data have improved a lot, and it is hard to believe that this is the data of a boxer who has practiced boxing for half a year.

Height: 178cm

Weight: 62Kg

Reach: 185cm

Strength: 150Kg squats 32 times, explosive power 350Kg

Bench press: 150Kg 25 reps, explosive power 260Kg

Boxing power: 380Kg straight right hand, 375Kg straight left hand

Endurance: 5000 meters for 13 minutes and 50 seconds

100m sprint: 10.72 seconds

Fat content: 10 percent

The power of punching is very close to the data of squat explosiveness, both of which are above 350KG. From this, it can be seen that the explosive power of the squat is directly proportional to the power of the punch.

According to Yuan Zhengtu's introduction to the American professional boxing world, Wang Ben's heavy punch power is not inferior to that of middleweight fighters, and he can almost compete with middleweight boxing champions.

However, Wang Ben is not particularly satisfied with his strength, because when punching, he only fused about fifty percent of the cannon fist power, and has not yet reached the limit, if he can increase the boxing power to more than 400kg, I believe that he will have more advantages in the boxing ring.

But Yuan Zhengtu asked him to try his best to keep it and not to improve too fast, because this time was the peak of Wang Ben's development.

In half a year, Wang Ben has grown 4cm taller and gained 2.5kg in weight, and now if he participates in the competition, he can no longer play in the lightweight division, and can only play 63.5kg in the first-time middleweight division.

If the weight increases too quickly, when he participates in the Asian Boxing Championships next year, Wang Ben's weight may exceed 63.5kg, and then he can only register for the 67kg welterweight class, which is not a good phenomenon in a short period of time.

Therefore, Yuan Zhengtu hopes that Wang Ben can control his weight below 63.5kg when he participates in the Asian Boxing Championships after the year, and after winning the Asian Boxing Championships, he will apply to become a professional boxer in the second half of next year, and by that time, his weight will increase to nearly 67kg.

The weight of professional boxing is measured in pounds, and 67kg is converted into 147 pounds, which is the welterweight class.

Yuan Zhengtu's plan for Wang Ben is to enter the professional boxing world in the ultra-lightweight division, and then fight all the way, and get the boxing championship belt at all levels and become an invincible boxing champion.

Spanning seven divisions from ultra-lightweight to heavyweight, it is not the average difficulty to capture the title of each division.

However, Wang Ben is very confident in himself, and he agrees with Yuan Zhengtu's plan very much, and he must control his weight at present.

If you gain weight too quickly, there will be a gap in strength, and if you meet a high-level opponent, it will be difficult to fight, and you may even lose the game.

Now he is only 17 years old, his body is at the peak of his development, his height and arm span are growing all the time, and the only way to control his weight is to control his diet, reduce fat gain and muscle size.

In fact, for competitive fighters in the ring, thick muscles don't have much effect, flexibility and speed will have an impact, unless it is a heavyweight fighter who deliberately increases his weight in order to improve his ability to resist blows, otherwise, few people will make their muscles thick.

Players with strong muscles are wrestlers or bodybuilders, and they don't fight to make their muscles stand out and look good, but if they really want to fight in the ring, wrestlers or bodybuilders don't fight at all.

Moreover, the proportion of body fat in any martial artist must not be less than 6 percent, otherwise it will not only be harmful to the body, but also greatly reduce the ability to resist strikes in the ring. Generally, excellent boxers have a body fat rate of about 8%.

It has been reported that Bruce Lee's body fat rate was finally controlled to about 3 percent, which is a very unhealthy condition, and it is impossible to know whether he died young because of this reason.

Therefore, Wang Ben's purpose is to control the increase in the proportion of fat, not to reduce his body fat rate.
