Q/A: Weighted Wrists In Boxing Wokouts.
Rob, I’ve been doing plyometric training for a while now, but I also been working on the speed-bag a lot to get even faster… Should I add 1lbs or 2lbs wrist weights to advance, or will it be a wasting of time doing it that way? Thanks, Keep up the Good Work
Adding the weights would be more for conditioning. You must be careful too as the added weight doesn’t ruin your technique. The weighted wrists are great for spp work but only when you are ready for them. But we are talking 1 and 2 lbs. here so you should be fine, just be mindful of your technique if you are doing more than several rounds.
To get explosive, you need to train explosive. Med ball throws, plyo pushups, tornado ball rotations, box jumps, and lunge jumps are all great to increase your speed. Just be sure to terminate the movement as the speed decreases so you don’t make yourself slower.
Just remember to get fast your first must be strong, then to be explosive you need to be fast as Max strength X speed = explosive power.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
