Does strengthening antagonistic muscles(when punching) help maximise punching power output?
Answer Hey Nikash, Yes, strengthening antagonistic muscle help maximize power output, but you would best strengthen them eccentrically (as they are lengthening). The best way to do that is to have a partner who moves your limb back as you’re trying to oppose it. And the lats act as antagonists. I would focus on the lats more than on the biceps.
