what's going on guys nate bower back for another quick video for you guys this is all about hook
variations on the heavy bag now clearly if you don't have a heavy bag use this video
as a tutorial just to know what the variations are and work them shadow boxing with me right now even
remember if you want to see more workouts like this one you can check out the channel
for more tutorial style videos or just killer workouts work in the heavy bag what i want
you to think about first of all is what the left hook does the left hook can be used as
a counter shot off of something off a block it can be off a setup
it can be a body shot headshot it can be thrown off a fake it can be thrown to change direction
so there's a lot of uh ways to use the left hook or the lead hook
the difference is is this how familiar are you with those variations so let's go over some
now number one if you're a true beginner and i just went over this in my 30 minute
uh fundamentals heavy bag fundamentals video which is now live in the channel
is you want to make sure you're having proper contact with the heavy bag when you're throwing it
so number one if you're too far away from the bag and you keep slipping off it or it's you're doing
this one or the heavy bags rotating then your position's off number one just keep that in mind
the first variation for throwing the left hook is making contact to the side of the bag on an angle
and that's the variation because a lot of times when you throw it you're just in front of it
you're just right here
but when you cut the angle down it gives you a little better position
into the side of the bag so the number one is throwing that lead hook on an angle
on an angle number one so you got to drive it on an angle throw it and let it rip so again if
your opponent's coming in and you slip boom boom head or body you would come back out hands up slip
throwing that hook on the angle okay so that's one install on the left hook of the lead hook
left hook for me it would be right hook for a self paw on an angle
the second variation is throwing it as a check hook you see this often again mayweather hatton
where you're stepping back and you're throwing the hook while changing position
while your opponent's coming in so if the heavy bag's coming in on you
you're throwing that check hook a little spin off and hot and flew into the ropes because mayweather
got out of the way turned through the hook made contact when he fell into the ropes head first
probably still has nightmares about that so that's the check hook variation number two
check cook very very violent combination when you land that but man it feels good when you
let the check hook the other one is to throw it in tight short a short left hook is really
dangerous because a lot of the times you can't really see it coming so when you're in here
you're working inside you see how quick it can release it can happen really fast
so a lot of times a lot of opponents can't see it so that inside hook it's also
really when it's short you're putting more of your body into that because it's a little
bit shorter and tight so when you're inside you're working you can work on short hooks
check hooks
okay angles
check hook sauce inside short
and let them go so those are all things you can put to work those
are kind of the main ways to throw that lead hook
certain variations but of course there's a million combinations you can throw
working that hook as well but those are the three ones you should really start to put in
into your boxing repertoire throw that check hook get used to it boom turn it
off throw another combination throw that on an angle set up so you can see the size
of the bag side of the bag work that that's a great way to throw that combination also
inside short and sweet fast boom connect it's over get to go home a party on that saturday night
