And I normally superset that with isometric/ explosive exercise. Hold your fist against a wall at the beginning, middle, end of a punch under isometric tension for 3-5 sec. Then hold a 2-4lb medicine ball and "punch" it at the bag. Catching it before it hits the ground bonuses as a coordination exercise.
I mostly do shadow boxing and hard surface kicking (old boat) with construction shoes (front/straight kicks mostly, circular can turn dangerous with those shoes). I don't have equipment except a pull up bar, a jump rope, and a barbell I use like a bo staff (basic left/right/left/right crosses like strikes at torso level like a madman, for both power and stamina, some basic spins, old and spin at arms length). I don't go to the gym, too much NPCs on spinning wheels. The rest is classic, pushups, series of jumps, nothing fancy just moving stuffs/dynamic stuffs. Because the main problem of body building is "staticity", like you train your body to remain camped during effort, that's not a good habit and that's what the body will reproduce during stressful situation, like combat. But I have nothing against power training, to be clear
I just kick the bottom of the heavy bag for shin conditioning. And I tap and roll myshins with a wooden dowel when I'm sitting around watching tv or chilling.
Power training is definitely not the only thing I do. It's to supplement my training. Which I'm going to have to grind out hard since I've been sick with the jewflu for a week. Rolling and sparring is going to suck balls the first week or two when I go back. The docs said I'm not cleared until the 14th.
Nothing replaces sparring. Sucks to have the chinese shit. You're diagnosed as covid19 sick?
