25. Does bench pressing increase your punching power?

If I’m speaking just off of common sense or personal experience I would say that a combination of both bench pressing and the isolation movement associated with getting a bigger bench increased my punching power tremendously. Seriously, I knocked a boxing bag down (albeit a 65 or 70lb one but a boxing bag) the other day. I also have to say that benching also has to be accompanied with actual punching in order to make it effective for improving punching power or the ability to punch(this isn’t coming from me, rather it’s coming from an actual boxer).
