Shadowboxing with gloves..

[The Student]

Yea I know... shadowboxing with weights doesnt really make too much sense... to me atleast.

The only possible benefit I see as you mentioned as well, is conditioning your arms to keep em up throughout a fight, thats why I figured, use gloves while shadowboxing instead of weights (for those that are obsessed with the idea of doing so).

I never thought about using weight while laying on a bench and throwing out shots... might try that one out

For strength conditioning, I usually just use methods like laying down and tossing a medicine balll up in the air and catching it over and over again, annd clap push-ups etc.

A little idea , Dizaster good post by the way. Instead of a Bench, Lag an 8" plastic pipe about 3ft long, do it that way then you are using every Punching muscle there is plus the antagonists, its nice .

[Scrap]

Oh with your legs bent or straight .

Sorry Scrap, I dont understand what you mean by

"Lag an 8" plastic pipe about 3ft long"

.. the word lag is throwing me off

[Scrap]

Something like an execise mat, tape it round it, yes, Throwing that one away in a good mood tonight .

[Scrap]

Or you could use a small fitball we have

[The Student]

hahahah....

ohhh man, I'm even more confused than I ever was.

I guess to truly benefit off your advice, I'll have to learn to speak Scrap.

... so what did you say I should do with the pipe? hold it in one hand and throw out shots with it?

Also ive got hold of fitballs with elastic fixed to them which are Brilliant and not expensive great tool. elastic both ends.
