  2. There is a direct quote from Abraham himself stating the benefits of said practice. Pray tell, were you born a pea-brained berk or did you fall and bang your gormless bonce? :lol::oops::patsch:dead:barf

    Because everything a BOXER says about training and physiology is always 100% correct.

    Just how ******ed are you?

    Man, this thread seperates the real from the fake.

    Every mother ****in boxer I ever seen in my life uses weights at some point for shadowboxing.

    It works. I don't give a **** what the science behind it is, but if you're not doing it, do it. And experiment with differents amounts of weight.

    Do it before you put on the gloves.

  8. A boxer knows his body better than some quack nutritionist or trainer. I often see you post on this forum like you are some kind of expert. Aren't you the twerp who had the gall to critique AngloSaxon's physique without so much as posting your own pics? :lol::rofl

    Why is it that the self-proclaimed "experts" on this forum are the ones who spend a disproportionate amount of time online, and thus can't possibly work out much or get sufficient sunlight? :oops::shock::dead:rofl

    Sports centers have had cut backs due to councils saving money, a lot of the sports center workers end up on here.

    I used to shadowbox with dumbbells and I can safely say it increases everything. Once your speed increases with dumbbells imagine how fast you are when you lose them.

    Great thread and advice as always from Team Elite.

    I find it helps with the endurance of my shoulder. High volume punching could probably erode your form as you tire as easily as high weight gloves or dumbells? As for power and speed - nyeh, I can't really see that, for the same reasons as virus and dealt_with stated.

    If you throw arm punches they may help with your speed but for anybody who can actually punch and snap their punches it's obvious they're not going to do anything apart from mess up the last link of the kinetic chain.

    Of course shadowboxing with dumb bells will increase speed and power. But is it a safe and efficient method?

    When the weights are too heavy, it becomes injurious. If you can't keep increasing the weights, then you can only increase speed and power up to a limit.

    There are tons of other stuff you can do that are far far better than shadowboxing with dumbbells. Put it this way. Shadowboxing with dumb bells might be good for beginners.
