Some days ill just do 9-12 rounds of shadow boxing.. work on openings and feints and counters, combos finished nice and balanced ready to slip or weave/roll afterwards, nowadays i try to make it a point to better finish the punches and combinations on balance with good foot, hand, elbow and knee placement for more mobility afterwards rather than concentrating on speed and power with the actual opening leads afterall its very rare you hit anybody with these leading punches no matter how perfect you throw them so its a waste as in most cases theyre just thrown to trigger reactions/counters that you want to counter in return and to set up the landing shots and its these shots i drill during shadow boxing because its these punches that need to be perfected and take more time to master, ofcourse thats after your able to throw the leading punches to a very good standard in the first place otherwise your rushing things.
