Jab in boxing.

What exericises would you do for stronger jab?

My jab is fast. I can also hit my opponent with it.

Just that no matter how hard I try, I can't either hurt with it or distract enough to throw another punch.

So what are the body weight exercises to make the jab stronger?

Thanks

maybe you should try practicing with arm weights

Welcome to the forum Solid,
Arm weights help with stoping and retracting the punches, not so much with force delivered.

because Arm weights will be only good on your shoulders and whatever keeps your arms in the air not with what pushes them

I think pushups with a band or strands are very good as well as any accumilating resistance thingy this will make you used to accelerate your punches in the middle of the throw and snap them which has a very big carry over of cource.

jsut a side not on pushups you need a lot of bands o nthem because if you do it without bands the higher you gp the lower the resistance , this means that naturally the pushup is a deloading resistance excersise so you need tons of bands to reverse this

Jab is an interesting punch.
Most people use little core rotation with this technique. Hook and Cross are more rotation-accelerated punches.
This not to say that core is not important. IF you throw a left jab, the core muscles on the left side (obliques, lower back, and abdominlals) contract on the impact. Than the core muscles on the right side contract and shorten to pull your upper body back into standing position. *This is assuming that you lean into your jab*.
The push with the rear leg is the initiation of the jab. The stronger you push off with the right foot, the more force will be ready to be transfered to the left hand. So work on the pushing power of your rear leg. Learn how to explode forward using the rear leg.
Work side bend and side planks to develop your lateral flexors.
Learn how to explode your hand, rather than just push with that hand.
If you can hit your opponent, but not hurt him. I suspect that you snap the hand out with out "commintment". Commintment refers to the intention of hitting through the target.
Bag work and shadow boxing (If you have good visual imagination) will help with that.

Good luck !

Looks like a chapter of the human movement analysis book.
Do you box, Celcius?

jab and step at the same time. bodyweight adds to the force. use more body rotation. work on turning the hand over at the end of the strike. get the 'snap'. for a super strong jab lunge in with it. but remember the jab isnt a power shot. most ko's with jabs are from how you hit not how hard. hit his jaw at an angle not strait on. oh.. and most importantly, throw more jabs to get better.

From my exp, Jabbing with hip tilting (think preparing to a sidekick) increases the power of the Jab. also try clap/double clap pushups for general arm quickness.
