So in my last post I talked about my new knee bending plan and some results from getting my lead knee to bend more.
Once I got my rear knee dropped down a few inches even more benefits opened up. Having those few extra inches of loaded spring allows me to more rapidly fire a right when on the move, and boy, my right hand power shot up. I’m super happy about the power increase, both in my straight right and overhand.
My left hook power also grew on bending the rear knee too. Locking it out apparently causes my right leg to work against the power my left leg generates.
Changing your stance can be tricky, you kind of have to relearn everything from the new stance, and it can take a while. I was please this only took a handful of hours to adjust my balance. I did need some more (different?) leg endurance moving side to side. For some reason I was worried it would throw off my head movement but moving my head from my lower stance is perfectly natural and actually a bit easier.
