I am super sore from using them...It was so nice to work on crosses and upper cuts. What are your opinion on them? and do any of you have a routine you would like to share?

Start off jabs. Move to double jabs.

Go from jab hook to double jab hook.

Double jab hook to jab hook cross.

Jab hook cross to jab hook hook cross.

From there, you start with the bobs and weaves... jab hook slip hook cross, jab hook cross slip hook, etc etc.

Keep it progressive. Give yourself time to rest every couple minutes, and throw each punch like it counts. Don't cheat yourself.

SOUNDS FUN

my right hand would always get sore from throwing power straight cross's. It has alot to do with how you wrap your hands, the weakest part of your hand and wrist is the area below your pinky and around where your wrist starts. Every time id hit the mitt it would bend and shoot pain through my whole wrist and forarm, best way to fix that is to wrap your hands properly. Kenny Weldons learn to box tapes cover it very well in the first video and since wrapping my hands right my hands are doing alot better.

I just have someone hold them up and always have them moving so I don't do any routines with them. While there moving and i'm punching, I try and shoot in and take them down. The guy with the mits, defends the takedown. So both of us are getting a skill. Instead of just one of us. Its hard as hell, defend with those mits on.

Focus mits are great
they are a necessity to anyones training
You can use them like you are almost sparring
I do rounds with a partner or sometimes i just i have someone hold for me for like 30 mins.
I use muy thai pads
It is great training

y in the dont u like em?

i use focus mits/ forearm pads whenever i have a partner, if not its have bag.

One Thai pad and one focus mit is a handy trick I learned from the Thais. But the Thai trainers I worked with mostly used two Thai pads, just like boxing focus mitts. I love working Thai pads, a little less so on focus mitts.
