I'm currently boxing for a college team right now. I'm still a beginner, only a month into it, although I am learning a lot after than many of the other beginners. I'm 19, turning 20 soon; I weight 140 lbs, but plan on dropping down to 125. I want to eventually turn pro after a few years.
Anyways, I've been hitting the mitts and the bag for a while now and my punches aren't necessarly too weak, but they aren't strong by any means. My brother, who's only done boxing for fun for about 2 weeks has a really strong punch. We were comparing how hard we hit the heavy bag and it seems his punches are twice as strong as mine. I'm punching correctly, using my hips and legs, but its still seems somewhat weak. I was wondering what kind of training/workouts I could do to get stronger punches. Also, is there anyway to get used to getting hit if I'm not allowed to spar in the gym yet? (random question)
