Nothing more frustrating then a coach who wil not move forward

Divila. I apologize for not being more clear in the use of the burn machines. I did not want to imply I was into weight training. I should have emphasized that the machines are used with low weights for strength training. I am the first to defend that size does not make a boxer...the skill is what counts. The hand burn machine weighs 12 lbs. By using it to increase twists and cycle speeds as if you were on a punching bag--at different heights. It does increase the speed and endurance. The bar we limit to 20 lb weight using military, overhead, straight out, side reps, push outs, squats, and other exercises to build muscle in the stomach, neck and shoulder, and leg area.
Our positive findings are based on the use and feed back we have received from both novice boxers and those who have had years experience.
Sorry for not being more detailed.

Thanks for the explanation. I'll look at similar exercises online and see what form of trend I see going at the moment.
