How to make my punch stronger and faster?

Question

I was thinking that every Saturday I'll go outside and punch my punching bag and jump rope for about 1-2 hours. On Monday - Friday I already workout on weights and cardio. So I was thinking that if I add the Sat. workout will my punching become faster and stronger? Whenever I punch my left hand it doesn't feel right like my right hand. Also whenever I punch combos mt body just feel weird because i'm like moving right and left and it doesn't feel right. So will my workout plan work to make my punching stronger and faster?? thx

Answer 1

It sounds like you are bouncing and moving to much around the bag and aren't able to sit down on your punches the way you should. You need to go to your local boxing club and get a trainer to help you with proper footwork and work on turning your punches over at the end of your punch. Get a real boxing trainer,though,and not one of these health club boxing class trainers.They don't teach proper technique for feet or hands,and focus more on cardio.

Also,if you're right handed,which it sounds like you are,your lead hand will be your left hand(or the hand in front). And, you should work the bag consistantly. 3-5 days a week should be sufficient for what you are doing. Get a trainer first,though, and eliminate bad habits before they begin.

Good luck

don't train on your own just go to a boxing gym and do what they tell you. if you try to train yourself you will develop bad habbits.

To get optimum punching technique you should get a boxing coach. A punching bag on its own won't tell you things like where to hit and combinations.  An alternative is to purchase a Slam Man which is a human-shaped electronic punching bag which has targets areas which light up telling you where to punch.  Its got a load of stored combinations and its also great for motivation as it acts as a personal coach.
