Calisthenics vs. Speed Bag? Advice needed

[greynotsoold]

Old time guys like Benny Leonard and Jack Dempsey and, I think, just about everybody at that time did a lot of calisthenics. They valued flexibility pretty highly. Nat Fleischer- I'm almost positive- wrote a book on boxing conditioning, based on the workout routines of Leonard (Benny) and Dempsey. It featured the daily calisthenics that these guys did, something like 20 minutes in the morning and another 20 in the afternoon.

If you are going to make calisthetics my advice to you is to make more streches and the exercise of choise to be bridges for the neck, squats and pullups. The situps are bad for your back and you will never need to push something in your live... For me the best calistthetic exersize is the bridging. It gives you flexebility of the back and neck strenght!
