I am not sure the reason, but do feel and it has been backed up by my sparring partners, that I'm hitting faster and it's posing them probs.

Interesting thing, the mind.
Found a quote from the book I just bought which fits your description mate and thought i'd share...

"Speed strength increased by an average of 18 - 25% following a 10 day rest from intense specialised strength training. Such increases may occur due to a super-compensatory restoration period that follows strength work."

@ Andre, thanks going to keep it up and let you know how I go. So far I'm getting good at the 1,2,1,1,2,1,2,2 pattern will need to start a new one soon I think.
