SHADOW BOXING IS GOOD..


PRACTICING COMBOS.. AND HITTING THE BAG..

THE SPEED BAG ISN'T FOR FOR SPEED IT'S FOR HAND AND EYE CORDANATION..


WHO TOLD U THAT LIE?

Find a site and read about 'fast-twitch' muscle fibers. Cool.

Otherwise, try being totally relaxed in whatever stance, and EXPLODING into the technique--whatever technique. You're training yourself to employ the fast-twitch fibers more readily.

Practice and then practice again. Use 16oz gloves when you shadow box. Remember to always keep relaxed. Start your punches very relaxed and shoot them. no excessive movment throw your back into it pivot on the ball of your foot. only tighten when you make contact. Rember good form. Keep doing this until your chest is ready to explode, then take a couple of minutes to rest and do it again. 2-3 minutes punching 2 minute rest do 4-6 rounds. You can do this on a heavy bag, or double end bag, or shadow boxing.
One of my favorite drills I used to do, is have a buddy hold a focus mitt. You try to punch it. Have your buddy try to make you miss by moving the mitt. If he sees it coming and is able to move the mitt and make you miss he should tell what he saw. was there anything you were doing to tellagraph your punch?
Rember to practice with heavy gloves (dont use wrist wieghts, bad for the joints) and without. Anyway hope this give a couple of ideas.
