Thank you sooooo much!!!! I don’t sprained my wrist recently, so this popping up definitely helps a lot. Thank you for helping out to prevent any further injuries
Not sure if this correct but I find twisting my pinky a little higher than my pointer finger stops me from hyper extending. The higher your thumb the easier it is to hurt your elbow
This was one of the first things I learned in my Martial Arts training. OTOH I have seen people leave "cardio boxing" classes clutching their elbows and shoulders. Thanks guys!
To limit the risk of your arm hyperextention you just need to rotate your fist to the inside with each punch , that will limit slightly the arm's extention and lower the risk of injury, try to punch slowly with and without the inside rotation and you will see, also try to hit with your index and middle finger's knuckles as much as you can.
Another way is to twist your arm, so in extended position your elbow is looking more upwards, and your hand position is almost thumbs down. Fells like it is impossible to overextend in such position
Or you could regularly stretch and train your tendons to get back full range of motion and the flexibility to do that cus that's just normal extension. hyper extensions would be past what you can make your arm go aka your arm going backwards (if held out on your side in this example) and yes doing that is possible I do it myself I can extend my arm completely straight with no pain at all and I've done similar stretching on my legs Hyper extensions could possibly happen if you land a punch wrong and your arm bends the opposite way its supposed to but I am not a boxer so I don't know the full extent of how it can go wrong I'm just someone who knows and trains flexibility of my arms and legs
i used to experience this except with the jab .my coach used to say 'always make your punches straight' ..and i used to go overboard with that and throw jabs as fast and as hard and as extended as possible l..well this one day, i started experiencing cracks whenever i threw jabs ....learned the lesson the hard way
My coach used to say stuff like this, especially when I shadowboxed. I never had any problems tho and always got full extension. I think the difference is the amount of rotation I used
thanks for the video , i am currenlty suffering from hyperextension, any tips on how do i train my body to keep a slight bend on my elbow, gotta relearn by basics again
I’ve felt my elbow go “wobbly” from over-extending. I’ve yet to attend a real gym due time, money, and I’m too old for chasing fame. I just want to learn. And when I see videos that say “punch to full extension of the arm,” I mistakenly assumed I should go until my elbows “lockl
Thanks coaches. Got this pain on the heavy bag the other day with a low body shot from the backhand. In wing tsun we always overextended tho. I do notice your shoulder is over extended....question should the shoulder also be fully extended for hooks, so many people get shoulder injuries' in boxing due to hooks!
When I punch and make sure my elbow is bent, feels like the punch doesn’t have as much power. How do you make a strong punch without your elbow hurting?(hyperextension)
Does this also happen when fist isn’t clenched ? Since you can throw a lot faster with an open hand and twist your forearm faster. I usually get hyper extended when my fist aren’t clenched and I try and throw wildly fast
If you tie this vid in with our “pinky in the nose” vid about turning over your punch, you’ll find your punches will feel much more compact and so fingers crossed… no pain 🙌🏻
