Thinking out loud......Speed.

[Trainer Monkey]

While you can train up speed a bit,with the mits,and the speed bag,the one thing your going to find,is your fast twitch muscles are only going to allow themselves so far,its like in baseball with bat speed,some guys can just flick it out there,and some guys need to concentrate on power,for most humans its either speed or power,but rarely both.

Yeah i notice this too but i don't get it. Maybe when trying to be powerful we tense up too much and maybe when thinking fast we don't follow through enough and try to bring the punch back before it's finished?

Technically i know force is = mass X velocity so in theory speed and power should go together but in reality it seems to take some skill to get it happening!
