Hello, if you are reading this thanks in advance.
I'll give ya my stats here quick, I'm male 20 years old, i weigh 177 lbs, im a medium frame and i'm 6 foot even.
Long story short, i got really out of shape i weighed something like 210ish 3 months ago, so i decided to get in shape and what not, and have been using some cardio machines and started lifting again now (about 4-5 weeks).
I recently bought a heavy bag (100lbs canvas) as i always wanted to learn how to box. So my first night with it i didnt wrap my hands the best and 2nd knuckle on my middle finger and pointer finger (right hand) got tore to hell. But a bigger problem i have now is proper form. when i throw a straight right my hand always wants to hit on those 2nd knuckles and at a weird angle, my pointer finger knuckle (closest to my palm) is angled higher than the rest of my hand, and i cant seem to break the habit, so any ideas for that?
2nd, my left all together seems to have no power at all, it lacks that "snap" i guess is what id call it. I know its bad but i only curl 35 with each hand so i know they are on the same level, but i just cant get that nice crisp hit, its like my left jab just falls into the bag.
one more question would be how can i put more power behind my lower punches that are aimed for the stomach, (when my palms would be facing up and just a quick shot to the gut)?
id love any help at all...
