Scientifically, there's never even been any proof speedbags work.

If you can guess what every fighter and trainer and everything thinks and does then you can do it for scientists too. Newtons are for figs but gravity is for everybody, Man. We all benefit from that.

I can see right now that you will write anything for the sake of argument, whether it makes sense or not. I talk boxing, not bs so I am done with this.

In that they don't make you faster, they don't make your reflexes better, they don't make your coordination better, they don't make you a better boxer, as compared to actually just boxing and non-speed bag ways of working on these things. They're an old wives tale with no wife. I mean, you can beat yourself off for the same period of time and it "works" on something like cardio or whatever but that's it.

It's a punching motion and its typically above he head so it should provide some exercising of the muscles to keep ones hands up.

It works as much as weight lifting or doing sit ups.

It is exercise so I don't see what the problem is.

What type of exercise apart from boxing do you think helps with boxing?

For a long time every scientist in the world believed the world was round but then newton saw how round the apple was when it hit him on his head and all of a sudden we became egocentric and now everybody knows we revolve around the sun. The best we got sometimes can get better by challenging the fundamentals of what we think works. In this case, there's no science behind a speed bag. That is why they don't make old people use one to get things right because it's just a boxer thing. Nobody else uses it for cordenation or stanima or anything. They just do other stuff that works. This is more like a tradition like a christmas tree than a fact like water being made of hydrogen peroxide. (h20)
