i've bought a speed bag a year ago, my friend said that I was doing a quite good job. But now I just don't have the will to do any more speed bag punching. It's so boring. I don't see the point in doing that, I just do all other stuff that boxers should do :)
Well for a starter it helps you get rhythm and it also helps accuracy and speed....so mate you should be doing it.Quote:

in series? how many repetitions would you advise
thanx
start with only one hand. then use the right. the best to start with is left left right, left left right.
when you can use left then right.
not only does it encourage timing and muscle endurance, but it also increases the speed of hands leaving the body, the slowest big of a punch.
good excersize, but yes pretty boring
makes you look hard as hell in the gym tho!
i like that sentence :) i think i'm gonna spend a lot of time infront of the speed bag :)Quote:

500 is good. im surprised you can do that much in one go actually, unless you have pauses.
how many times are you letting it bounce. you should allow 2 bounces. one on the backboard and one on the front.
no pauses :) i don't wanna sound cocky, but i guess this is called power of will...when it starts to burn as hell then i just wanna go for more and more till i can't hold my arms high any more.
whoops...i did only with 1 bounces .
But 2 bounces?
.. but i've read this stuff on a site saying something like this:
The bag will swing back, hit the backboard, come forward, hit the backboard, swing back, and hit the backboard. When the bag comes forward again, strike it with a backhand or straight punch. This may seem tricky at first, but be patient and eventually, you will master the rhythm.
...this makes more sense to me, maybe i'm wrong?
depends how good your bag is. if its really fast (as the one in my gym is) then you have to do 2 bounces. you should be hitting it hard, it speeds it up
i think it's a pretty good bag. it bounces off properly, well that also depends on how you hit it. i did with 2 bounces today, 300 hundred each hand seperately and then 500 hundred left-left-right-right.
what do you think how many days per week should i do speed bag training?
as many as you can m8, its hardly gonna hurt!
i was afraid you might say that :) well whatever it takes
thats the sprirt, and hey big delts are cool anywho
lol yea they're definately cool. whoa you're a fast replier O0
they dont call me lightning gatti for nothing
wait theydont call me that atall
lol they should, cuz if ur cross is as fast as your replies then they better watch out cuz the lights will soon be out :)
i prefer the hooks actually, and uppercuts to the body are very, very effective!
oh yea, hooks are my favorite, especially the left hook. it used to be my weak spot, but then i got it right with some shadow boxing...now i'm afraid that the bag ain't gonna make it much longer if i continue to make progress on the LH :)
always a good thing when you break the first bag, i got so much duc tape on mine now it looks like a sick murder victim
rofl, now thats a good one :) watch this one..i got so much duc tape on mine that it would be enough to patch up a zeppelin ;D
not bad, not bad atall. i prefer tha balck ductape myself, the silver one seems to rip again!
i even got ductape on my gloves, man im a cheap ass
really?? hmm theres only silver ductape in the shop where i buy it damnit! what brand? i got some X-way but it seems pretty good. well i cant say that i got ductape on mine :) at least not yet...maybe when (IF) i get as good as you are
and man i must say thats a big if!
nah i jest, i hope people do get better than me...someday
yea it think i should have writte IF (when). btw whats your ranking in your country's boxing federation
im not too bad actually, im pretty new and im ranked around 12th!
