Question

Answer 1

i dont hit the speed bag.

my secret... sahdow boxing with dumbells. not just going through the motion but like your actully in a fight!

or use some 14 once sparring gloves to hit the bag, and when you wrap load up on your knuckles...

Answer 2

these other answers quite dont tell you anything..

the speed bag is for building timing and coordination..

they call it "speed bag" because the bag moves with speed

speed bags trains u to keep ur hands up all the time

u need to shadow box holding probably 2, 4, or 5 lb weights in each hand..

when you start shadow boxing or fighting w/o the weights,, all your punches will go a lot faster.

Answer 3

I'm an amateur boxer and this is my routine for speed.

-Shadow box for 3 minutes

-1 minute rest

-Shadow box with 2 lbs dumbbells for 3 minutes

-1 minute rest

-Shadow box for 3 minutes

Always train with a purpose. When you shadow box, focus on speed. Keep this routine up and your hands should feel lighter during the third round.

Answer 4

practice harder and punch with wight on your hand so you can be faster.

Answer 5

shadow box you can and will see how fast you are or not.

Answer 6

Work on the mitts with your trainer.  Mitt-punching is actually the best exercise for developing hand speed.  Speed bag is more on hand-eye coordination.
