Does punching with 10 lb weights train your arms well?

Title

it does nothing

If you actually believe this it’s over

 

[Deleted member 20064]

Fuck no.

 

[nukenasty]

maybe speed in theory but if it did boxers would already be doing this

 

[Lucid]

What do you expect this would do

 

[Deleted member 21403]

I shadowbox with weights all the time. To increase speed and to train shoulders to keep my arms up during fights.

DK if it trains biceps and triceps though

But im a boxer you will look autistic doing it

It doesn't. It promotes shitty technique and you risk fcking up ur rotator cuffs.

Do you mean actually hitting the bag with it or just shadowboxing

 

[Deleted member 25323]

it'l prob improve your grip by alot

Even shadow boxing.

Promotes shitty biomechanics. It's cos body compensates and adjusts when using weighted punches (especially when you get tired). Speed of the punch comes from snapping motion. Snapping motion is generated from arms in a relaxed state not tense. The power is generated from kinetic chain starting from the rotation of hips (which facilitates the foot pivots), to the scapula and then the arm follows naturally. To promote rhythm and harmony of punches u need perfect biomechanics, which should be done by doing regular shadowboxing.

If you want to rotational power and speed, look at landmine punches and med ball exercises. For raw power that can indirectly translate to punching increase squat and deadlift (strong legs correlates with strong punches) and do a bit of benching.

High iq makes sense thank you.

ill check out the 2 excercises aswell. Already in the gym for the other normal ones

Check these for exercise variation. Hope it helps.

Ok geez sorry guys for the thread

true, it's not like the weight is there during the actual fight, but they used to train underwater for similar benefit

This. Shadow boxing with dumbbells will just improve shoulder stamina (to keep the hands held up guarding face). And a bit of recoil speed (pulling the bands back to base position from the punch)

Lifting progressively heavier weights for reps of 5+ on bicep curls and overhead tricep extensions is the fastest and most effective way of growing arms

 

[Deleted member 13710]

No. The point of weights is that they are lifted against gravity. Punching motions go perpendicular to gravity.

If you want to do shadowboxing with resistance, trying boxing in a pool with the water level up to your neck/shoulders.
