hit the heavyba. the really heavybags are like weightlifting with your punch, your applying a huge resistance to your punching movement and therefore strengthening those muscles.

im personally a weights whore, i love them, but there are plenty of worl class boxers who dont even touch them and still get the results
Alex how do you balance weights and boxing ?

Im training boxing 3 x a week which isn't that much, but still have a hard time doing weights sometimes cause i know if i box the next day im gonna be very sore and immobile.
