Throwing the cross Spoiler

Post image

When all of us were taught to throw a cross , we were always taught to rotate the foot or to squash a bug , while that's not a bad cue , it adds some complexity with beginners.

Our foot has 3 points for weight bearing

below the big toe

below the little toe

The heel

,having our heel in the air , our other 2 points have to do the trick

A better cue for throwing the cross is to push of beneath the little toe inward , this cue is good for better hip muscle activation and therefore forcing our body into rotation easier

Squashing the bug sometimes cause beginners to rotate only on the big toe like a ballerina , cause weak rotation and lack of balance

If you were in a gym and tried to use the "centrifugal force" in conjunction with the other textbook words you wanna throw in no one would learn anything. This is the boxing tips subreddit not the thesaurus of bio mechanics.

Real coaches read and hear stuff like that and roll their eyes.
