Work on touch and feel after preparing the body with a good strectch program. Like anything its all about preparration before hand, trying to work fast twitch fibres without is asking for injury

of course what scrap said, plus plyometrics. but always be careful doing them as injury can result if dome incorrectly.

for example, a slow bench press of 300pounds is great, but if it takes you 10seconds to lift it while turning beat red in the face it's useless to boxing. However, clap push-ups, although using far less weight, are far better for fast twitch muscles delevopment and thus good for explosive movements as in boxing.

I've been trying to weigh myself whilst doing press ups, if I do a narrow (diamond press up) with my posture perfect (angle of my keeping my back bent upwards) so that more weight is going onto the hands then the legs, then use only one leg to support the remaining weight only something like 10 pounds of my weight isn't supported.

When you see people with wide legs, they are taking away a load of resistance, and making it easier.
