hey y'all. only been boxing 3 months. im old for a beginner (24) but am in really good shape, so im basically just working on gettin my technique sharp before I start competing, though it might be another 3 or 4 months before I am ready. my legs are pretty good.
so my 1 and 2 are decent and getting better all the time, but the 3 is killing me. i seem to have injured my wrist from throwing "slapping" left hooks at the heavy bag. I have a competitive spirit so in training next to pros and golden gloves champions, i guess i got carried away and overdid it.
today i was doing some mit work in the ring and i was wincing every time I threw the left until finally my trainer said, you're done. work the double end bag for 3 rounds, no heavy bag today, then go home and ice that wrist. its frustrating cause I sparred for the first time Friday and felt great afterwards and now I feel I may need to take some time off from certain aspects of training and I feel like I'm back to square one.
Anyway, any advice on how to better protect my wrist and how to develop that short, fast, powerful left hook with pop without hurting the wrist? I use everlast wraps with Ringside IMF 18 oz gloves btw, in case you were wondering. thanks!
