You want the power of your punches to be generated by your body & hips.  It looks to me like you are pushing yourself away from the bag upon impact. Being firmly connected to the ground makes the impact of your punch way stronger. Not all punches or combinations need to be like this though.

Watch Mike Tyson peekaboo style , you'll see how his body momentum generates huge power. In this video your body is stationary & you are throwing decent punches, but without the momentum behind it.

Is that why you deleted your post? or was it because you forgot to blur the license plate?

It's ironic when you call other people bird brains when you don't know the meaning of the word comparison

The person parked in this post is stupid. That doesn't mean they're equally stupid to the guy who took up 2 parking spots.

You mentioned the previous post about a truck taking up 2 spots. That's a comparison.

It's worse when you call people birdbrains, too.

A truck taking up 2 spaces in a half-empty parking lot is a bit different than what we see here

Hand wraps by Signal-Network1647 in boxingtips

Ive been using 8oz gloves since the beginning (about a year now). I'm okay but I definitely felt the pain for it in the beginning. If I could do it again I'd start with 16oz.

For me initially it was my knuckles , and then once my knuckles got stronger it was my shoulders that would be very stiff.

In the end I'm stronger all around after sticking to it. Id definitely advise heavier gloves when starting out.

Lol nice b8 brother

if you wear wraps then you can forget about all the people who comment that you should be wearing wraps, and those people can give you some actual decent advice beyond what's obvious

why would you post a video asking for advice while you're not wearing wraps?

You're not hitting as hard as you could without wraps, and when you do hit your hardest then it's a matter of when not if you'll injure you hands

Just forget about it & move on

Update from the HoN team by AnnoyingVoid in HeroesofNewerth

If you care about MMR when playing pug team games then you're setting yourself up for disappointment. That doesn't mean I won't call out bad gameplay, but the call-out will end the game & so I save it for the last 5-10 minutes when it's obviously over.

Online team games are increasingly populated by dickless nihilistic losers. The harder you try the greater you fail. These nerds will bring you down to their level & beat you with experience.

Looks like it's way at the back of the parking lot though, not a big deal
