Are there any theads out there about gaining speed and power? I read that one of the mods was going to post a sticky regarding power but didn't see it.
One exercise my old trainer showed me was jabbing with 5-10lb weights in my hand. He had me going back and forth, corner to corner in the ring. I changed it a little when I started back up in my basement lately. I get in my stance with 5 or 10lbs in each hand and punch left right, left right, for about 100-150 reps focusing on snapping and pulling back quickly.
Do you guys agree that this is a good exercise that will promote speed? If not, is there anything similar?
Are there exercises to promote power, or just great mechanics? If just mechanics, could you ellaborate?
Thanks . . .
