You'd be surprised. More than hard enough for it to snap back and make that cracking noise a proper one makes. If you spent more time throwing punches you'd know these things are totally possible. It's not even that special lol.You CAN hit it but not with any meaningful power.
May I ask how you train, and how long you’ve been training? A lot of the respondents here have been at it for 25-45 years. There are very knowledgeable people here. Take advantage of that.You CAN hit it but not with any meaningful power.
Round punches like the rear overhand or lead hook are often considered more powerful.I talked to a karate fighter who participated in a study in which the karatekas had higher punch output when their straight punch arm was bent compared to extended. This was a surprise to them.
A powerful punch involves the coordination of the whole body,Could it be that there's greater bicep engagement when the arm is bent compared to straightened out?
Per Stuart McGill, contract -> relax -> contract (at point of impact) creates power.Also perhaps stronger wrist support at the point of impact?
How about per Marvin for once?Round punches like the rear overhand or lead hook are often considered more powerful.

Maybe you are just that guy that can eat punches like crackers.You CAN hit it but not with any meaningful power.
