im a 14 year old kid the shadow boxes with 2.5 lb weigts is tht to much will i hurt my shoulders?

possibly its not too much i dont go above 3 pounds dont do it too often or too hard or yeah then youll mess up your back and shoulders

Well if u dont feel any pain or heavy pressure on ur shoulders while shadowboxing with that wieght then i think ur safe. Its better to start of a lighter weight and work ur way up..

seems like a ******y way of u hopin that people tell u to use less weight
if anything
i think ya need to use more wieght
grab some 20lb weights and get some serious training done
:boxing:

it's okay to use 2.5 weights.
I use 3 pound weights and it dosen't affect me.

I started with 2 lb weights in my hands when shadowboxing. Use that weight for a while and then I'd go up to 2 1/2 lbs. I use 3 lb weights now. No need in straining the young and still growing ligaments in your elbows. Gradually increase the weight after time, youd be better off in the long run.....Rockin' :boxing:

lol abdiel i did shadow box with 15 lbs and almost ripped my arms out of my sockets lol and i aint no *****

for a young person 1-2 is good

when u get older no more than 3

I'm 13 and I use 1 pound, it doesn't hurt my shoulders the next day, and I can continue my other excercises pretty normally without trouble.

No more than 3 pounds ever. Abdiel is just pulling your chain; you can injure yourself using even just five pounds.

I use 5lbs for 1 roundand 2 lbs and 1 lbs all for 1 round

ive been taught not use weights while shadowboxing at all, but everyone has their opinion.

my son is 7yrs old & he shadow boxs with 5lb

At my gym we use... 2,3, & 4 pound weights

Me personally, i bought these gloves with weights in them, so my gloves weigh about 5/6 lbs... i just use those to practice, since ive gotta hella faster and stronger (i was already fast to beggin with, now its just riddiculous)

i use 1.5kg in each hand but i dont feel any resistance at all but the effects are there

I've used as high as 10 pounds for normal shadow boxing.

One of my first coaches told us stories of jogging with 40lb dumbells and having to throw uppercuts & hooks with them- so he had us try it to see what it was like. Hooks with 40lbs was murder, but uppers were kind of interesting.

These days I only go as high as 3 pounds and only for a couple rounds at a time. Like I said on other threads I've been having upper back problems, not sure if it's from too much shadow with weights, too much weight vest, or a combination of both.

Before I was told how train properly, I used to use 8 pound dumbells and never had any negative effects but was advised to lower the weight. Now, I shadowbox with 3 pound dumbells or resistance bands and they work fine for me.
