Improve Your Chin

[dctopboots01]

You can't train your body to resist concussion but you can somewhat improve on punch resistance. Look at some of the past fighters that had great chins like Hagler, Holyfield, Duran. They all had a thick looking neck. That's because they all trained their necks because it absorbs the impact of a punch.

If you get hit clean on the chin at full speed and power, no matter who you are, there's a chance you're going to sleep. This won't stop that, it will just reduce the chances. You see a lot of the time, especially when uppercuts are connected, the head snaps back. A strong and stable neck can prevent this. Below is an example routine to help improve you chin!:

Neck Bridge 3x15

Flat Bench Head Curls 3x15 (Lay flat on back with head coming off end of the bench. Hold a plate on your forehead and slowly move head up and down)

Reverse Neck Bridge 3x15

Neck Curls (5 to the left, 5 forwards, 5 to the right)

Dummbell Shrugs 3x15

No worries. They're kind of specific to boxing. You see guys in the gum doing shrugs etc but they're more bodybuilding exercises.
