Anybody seen the new teddy atlas workout system Not that im thinking of buying one or anything just wondered what you think about the number system and the effectiveness of this.I believe this was the sort of system that tyson used for combination punching.I cant get my head around the position of the numbers yet as i normally hit the same spot on the bag for a left jab right cross combination but i can see the thinking behind the high jab.Teddy Atlas Everlast Workout System
not a bad idea really by the look of it!It has its uses i suppose!;)IMm from the u.k so it would cost me £110,not that i would buy one.Nevertheless i would have a go of it!;)
Felt pens are 50 pence;D
uhh no.
what you training a jab for a guy with a two foot wide head same for cross do that enough, and you will start throwing straight punches anything but straight...this throws off body mechanics and sooner or later you will regret it.
It says in the specs. "Specially designed Uppercut Bag" which it does kinda look like it might be good for that? Dunno.
I wouldn't shell out 200 bucks for it but I might like to try it out.
GOOD CRACK MATE!:biglaugh:Quote:

i am assuming that they correspond to the usual 1=jab 2= cross 3=left hook etc with maybe a right hook or overhand thrown in amongst the left and right upper cut. still say when you go fro a human you won't be aiming straight down the pipe but off to the side like..unless you are fighting the calf-headed man..
Thats what i thought at first but if you watch and listen to the video and audio clips then 1-left hook and 7-left jab
The obvious number system would be
1=Jab
2=Cross
3=Hook
4=R.Hook
5=R.Uppercut
6=Uppercut
7=Jab Body
8=Cross Body
9=Hook Body
10=R.Hook Body
11=R.Uppercut body
12=Uppercut Body.
But in Tysons day, Atlas trained entirely combos.
1234 was 1-2-Hook-Cross
2345 was Cross Hook R Hook Straight
The numbers differentiated.
now thats what we all need throw out your old numbering, relearn a new one or better yet follow mine i have 365 numbers one for each degree of a circle to hit your opponent...bag design i like, numbering is a waste. but a pen and write on your own bag better yet use colors and make it a happy bag then beat it till they all run together ...
Really hes nicked it of Cus, its been on the go years ;D.
scrap is a nice old gent so he doesn't always tell it like it is.
But I will.
you don't need goddam numbers on your f'in heavybag. That Teddy Atlas bullshit is for kids come Christmas time. He probably cringed when they asked him to do that, but the paycheck made him think twice.
I agree that the numbers are retarded, but the shape of it seems kind of cool. Id like to try throwing some uppercuts at it, but i wouldnt pay for it.Quote:
