Resistance Tubing for improving punch power and speed

[judge_jab]

has anyone used something like this before?

Has anyone used something similar?

I'm looking for something that I an use to add elastic resistance to my punches so I can shadow box and train punches individually or as combos.

The way I'm hoping to use this is by alternating 2 minute shadowboxing rounds, first with the resistance and then without, which is a form of complex training???

thoughts? would this be effective?

thanks

yeah i got that. ts kind of annoying to use because it pinches ur skin alot and when u throw hook ur elbows go in between the cords. it hasnt really helped my speed either but i still use it everyday.

agreed, your much better off with light wieghts in your hands than bands around your back.

Dude, on that link picture it looks like the band is strapped to his armpit hair haha, gotta hurt.

There are some respected forum members (Versy), who uses bands and says they have improved his hand speed.

If it works for you or you think it does, then more power to you! IMHO it is a big joke and quick way to make extra bucks with 'technology'. Forget 'respected' forum members, how many top pro's use this ****? I would like to know.

For once I agree with you Maf. Strange.

as much as I hate him (i'm a brit btw), Joe Calzaghe frequently uses these, he used it in the Hopkins countdown!

Hopkins uses them aswell in the countdown video. Mackie Shilstone says he often gets his athletes to use them. Roy Jones jr too.

My question is whether it's more useful for developing speed or just endurance???
