How does punch strength comes from the back muscles?

Question

I feel like it should come form the pecs or the triceps because it’s a “pushing” motion.. no?

no single muscle does anything useful. it takes groups of muscles to ‘ambulate’ or move anything.

lets say your arm was in a cast for a year… you could still punch but it would be weak. if you were in a back brace for a year but did arm exercises the punch would still be weak.

if you didn’t have legs your punch would be weaker…

all good strong muscles are much more effective than any one super strong muscle.
