would using wrist weights while working a bag be better or not? By the way my first day back in the gym training was interesting today. Did pretty good on the mat both grappling and with gloves, but I got my ass handed to me during the sparring sessions. I was a step too slow in trying to land my punches and the guy I was working with had some pretty nasty kicks. Never the less once we put it all together I got him on the ground and beat on him for a bit before landing a tasty arm bar. I really need to do some bag and mit work over the next couple of months.
