Increasing speed

[SpeedKillz]

the thing is with weighted punches is that most of the extra force is going downwards, so its not really what you want, although it would work for uppercuts

with only 2 to 3 pounds, u wont get any downward force, unless ur very weak, punching with 10 pounders u may get some downward force, but not even close with 2 or 3 pound hand weights.

you will get downward force, it doesnt matter on the weight, but there will be more force going down than pushing against your punches

I completly agree with the post made by J. I use weighted bag gloves (about 1.5 lbs inside 12 oz gloves) when I shadow box and have seen a great improvemen in my hand speed.

But perfecting your footwork / technique will put some real speed on your punches.

Good luck.

Would u reconmend me useing a elastic tube behind my back and grab the handles and punch like the everlast jab thing so it makes my punches a little faster?

thats ok too i think thats more for explosive training but that equates to speed so go for it!
