Morning all, I really need to improve my speed and power as I am currently putting no power into my punches and they are quite slow. What are the best excercises to perform to increase power and speed?
Improve technique by throwing the punch correctly repeadly. When you get use to throwing the punch and are punching with proper technique the rest will come. I assume you just started? If so no need to worry about hitting faster or harder concentrate on proper technique.
Na been boxing for a while (well a few months) mate. I am slowly improving on my technique but was looking for a few routines to add in to increase power etc.
Without making it overly complicated, once you got the technique down, I'd simply just go hard and fast on the heavybag. If a 150-200 pound heavybag doesn't solve your problem, I don't know how anything else will.
Theres no point in my opinion. Think about it like this. When building a mansion you have to make sure the foundations are steady enough to support the rest of the building. You don't work on the foundations of the building and build the mansion at the same time.
