🧵 thumb pain when punching
Anonymous at Mon, 6 Nov 2023 17:52:23 UTC No. 174816
i just started boxing and i keep getting thumb pain when i punch becuase my thumb knuckle is longer than my other knuckles. when i hit it makes contact and takes all the force especially with hooks. any advice on fixing this issue? my only solution so far has been to do casting hooks instead or kind of like a half casting hook half normal so my thumb is pointed away

i cant wrap my thumb that far, my thumbs knuckle sticks out. its also generally just big thumbs and thumb muscle i think. i cant touch my palm with the tip of my thumb like that

Do more vertical hooks, avoid uppercuts.

99.9% chance it's a skill issue and your just blaming it on your thumb
