oohhhh yes there is, Im 235, been between 270-300 for the last three years. My hands are faster than anybody I met in the street and faster that any body around my weight at the gym. Ive had trainers look at me confused and ask why Im so fast. Ive been doin a work out since like middle school that gave me that, when I dont do it as much I slow down. I dont really wanna just give it out cause I consider it my secrtet but youve all done it, I think its just the extent Ive done it. It involves weights...



one think I have noticed is that push ups slow me down a little though.

I have also noticed that push-ups tense me up and slow me down, I no longer do them as a part of my routine, they are skipped entirely

yessir, I'll even do them at the fastest pace possible, for some reason they seem to tighten me up and slow me down. I'm just giving my personal experiance, I'm not making suggestions for anyone..

yeah but lets say I got real carried away with it. For a long time thats all I had, no gym, no bags, just two differant types of handweights. I wont say exactly what I was doin but you guys wont be able to take it to the level I did cause like I said thats all I had.

And on the push ups. They help me alot, they had a weird correlation to me losing weight, and they make my upperbody stronger and I feel good. But I noticed in fights and slapboxing i wasnt as fast and in shadowboxing I wasnt anywhere near as fast and didnt have the snap but I think I hit harder. When Id stop doin pushups for awhile Id be looser in shadow boxing and stuff and had my speed and fluid combos back. I used to do 100 regular and 40 on my knuckles everyday and I was around 240. I havent done them in a long while though cause I like my speed.
