How do I work on my speed?

[Floydmayweather]

I like to swim and shadow box in the water with quick bursts. I shadow box alot and with light weights. Also do Plyometrics, and u will get faster.

true true. bernard hopkins uses juggling as part of his workout. i tried it, but i cant juggle for the life of me...

[kamicazze]

do all these really improve handspeed????

[A.Jay]

yeah there's loads of stuff you can do shadowbox with wieghts will probably be one of the best and simplest remember you can't go looking for something easy to help you improve witcdh iws wot a lot of people trying to get fit do i think.

i dunno bout your fitness but trust me if you aint in good condition just focus on that. i reckon i'm above average fitness compared toa non athlete below average for a competitive athlete and **** condition for a boxer..... and something ive learned is all your power and speed don't count for **** if you can't keep up the pace

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.

Haha. After reading this i had to check to see if i was reading the original or the alt. Now i know why somebody felt the need to create an alt.

what a tit.

doing pushups with weights increase my speed tremdously, especially on the pulling back after throwing a punch. I put both my hands on 2 dumbells, go down, then come back up and once im up i pull the dumbbell to my chest and sometimes farther back. Its an excellent working for strenth and quickness. After pulling back a 50 pound dumbbell to your chest, a 8 - 16 oz glove aint nothing.

[greengloves]

so you just yank the weight up n fall back down to the start?

[hemichromis]

i'm not a fan of pucnhing with weights

not only do i see them as dangerous unless you punching the bag with them but i also belive they only create the illusion of increase speed by making your hands slower while training with the weights, making them look quicker without
