I'm sure this has been discussed before but how about a few good tips on punch speed, I am currently using 5kg weights and going through the strokes with them do about 2 sets of 100 punches in pretty quick succession. This has improved my forearm and shoulder strength I jus wanna get everyones input on what they do.

Cheers

Joe Louis claimed in his autobiography he increased his speed by catching flies, then opening his hand and letting them go.

You need to do somthing that is more involved with boxing than read old biographies. experience is a far better teacher trust me

just train ur ass off man. dont always use the heavy bags use the lighter bags for a few rounds and do plenty of shadow boxing for speed.
