risingdragon Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 how long do anyone throw punches that are weighted. I carry two ten pound dumbells and punch with them for 4 minutes. During this summer i'm going to increase it to ten. I lost all my skills nooooooooooo Whatever happens happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuayThai Fighter Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 I find punching the heavy bag improves speed in my punches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granmasterchen Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 here is another idea that you might want to consider. Try sparring with wrist weights, weighted gloves and then sparring gloves over that.....now when you spar, spar with an individual that only has sparring gloves on, this will force you to build up speed just to protect yourself during the fighting sessions, now after training this way try it with out the weights and be amazed with the speed! That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyAZNRocker Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Well remember though, you still want to be careful when using weights to train with, you can really damage the elbow if you are careless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granmasterchen Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Good point, you do have to be careful with that when training, like all trainings there is something bad that can happen, be safe. If it starts to hurt, stop. And don't over do it. The best way to protect yourself is not to over extend your punches, now be careful when the weights are off, you will be used to throwing that extra weight so again you may but too much into your punch and hyper extend an elbow, thanks for bringing that up crazyaznrocker That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broomhilda000 Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 OH MY GOD i did punching exercises with just 5 lb. weights for a few weeks and my punching is SO MUCH FASTER its like a blur.. i seriously recommend this exercise What is the workout you do with them? Shadow Box? Or what? Be as a tranquil pool of water in the woods. Calm, collected, reflecting on its surface all that is around it. Make your own mind such a quiet mirror reflecting the mind of the opponent. Even as your partner's impulse to attack passes through his mind it should be reflected in you.The safest battle is the one that is never fought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granmasterchen Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 you can do normal punching drills, just wear them while doing everyday activities or spar with them on That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
