how to increase punching power and speed?

Question

what are some training drills to improve punching power and speed??

Answer 1

Ryan ~
There's three things that you should incorporate into your normal workout schedule that should help with your speed and power. My Brother Brad has tried what I'm writing to you and he felt every bit of it.

Get yourself one of those rubber weighted medicine balls around five pounds. Take the ball with both hands extend your arms all the way over your head and slam it to the ground as hard as possible. The ball will bounce a little. Grab it at your waist height and repeat. The key is to do this as fast as you can over three minutes with a one minute rest. You should do this for five rounds and increase as it gets easier (not)

With the same ball lay flat on your back. Balance the ball with both of your hands but keeping all of the weight on one hand bring the ball down to your chest level then push the ball off of you and toss it as high as you possibly can catch and repeat. Remember to do this as fast as you can over 5 three minute rounds with a minute rest. Increase as the rounds get easier.

Get yourself a old basketball. Get in the push up position. Put both of your hands on the basketball and do pushups off the ball. After the first set of 25 spred your legs about shoulder width apart and do 25 more reps. Once your done with those 25 go back to your feet together and repeat until you have four sets. Increase as they get easier.

I hope this works for you Ryan. Good luck and thanks for the question.

Answer 3

There are too many to list here. You have to research. While your at that try this- Hit the biggest , heaviest bag that exists. Than go to a more conventional 70 - 100 lber. It's just like lifting weights. You can't reach optimal strength level useing low to medium weights. For speed- 3 things real quick- fast music and a tiny lil peanut bag and stand back a lil at times reaching with extended arms to hit it.
