Tips for me on the Heavy Bag

[Mr.DW]

Here's a new video I took an hour or 2 ago. I tied 80lbs worth of weights to the bottom of the bag in order for it not to move around because there is a bar on the ground attached to the stand I use to hold up the bag which prevents be from moving forward. This is one of the reasons I don't have much movement going on. Also, there is a bench press to my left along with dozens of boxes of things directly behind me and to my other side because a relative recently passed away and we are in the process of getting a storage unit.

I try to make up for the lack of movement with volume of hard punches. I know that in an amateur bout I won't be throwing 140 punches per round which is what I average on most of my workouts.

Things I'm looking for your opinion on in this video are do I have pop in punches? Am I doing any better with not arm punching? Speed? The little defense I worked on if I do that more? Balance?

Kid, you might have potential. It's effort! Boxing is taking a CHANCE. But....you put that RAP music in background. I looked ten seconds and hear that and needed to "shut down". No thank you.

My man! Please skip to 4 minutes in it's over by then!

Well..the tape is gone anyway. Don't follow bad culture just because others have, MY MAN! : )
IF YOU ARE GONNA BOX...get into "position". I won ARMY V Corp when I was staring out.

How does the military boxing program work?

I have time for you.
ARMY AIR FORCE USMC NAVY. At the TOP...take the ARMY..since that was where I was.. "All Army champion" is the top. But..then the four Services meet and their is the INTERSERVICE CHAMPIONSHIP.
ARMY OR MARINES are FIRST. AIR FORCE AND NAVY HAVE ~WEAK~ programs comparatively. What I mean, is, the ARMY & the MARINES are usually TOUGHER PEOPLE. But not always! Their been LEGEND BOXERS who graced both those branches [DUANE BOBICK, NAVY; ROGER LEONARD, AIR FORCE]
If you can win a SERVICE TITLE, it is a SERIOUS STEP towards a Olympic trials spot. I'm talking ARMY TITLE; A.F., NAVY or the USMC.
I was V Corp champ. That is in Europe. After the Corp came the USAREUR ["all Europe"]//USAREUR winners go to the ALL ARMY.
We had some "serious" talents in USAREUR when I was there in 1977, 78, 79. I could name some big names.

I spent FOUR YEARS Regular Army and then ONE YEAR in the "bogus" Connecticut National Guard and then two more years after a gap, with the CT. Guard but...stationed in out posts further away. [They were LOT MORE "together"][they flat busted me from E5, which is buck SGT to E2 Private on my first NG because I only/simply "walked OUT"/such a utter "joke" the UNIT was; such "demeaning" manner they paid to the "word"..but....they brought me in again but..had "problem" with TWO OFFICERS on second tour who "cut me"/pretty sure that's what happen...so..I didn't look back/they was "far from perfect too...I mean, one of the two unit. The outter outter was.."perfect"/but/the **cut happen in the "medium distance" unit..]
These days the MILITARY has tilted on "down spin". If I was in THESE DAYS......their "good chance" they...Idk.. I maybe out and out refuse ORDERS! They "play games" with ME. I "don't recognize" "GAY PEOPLE". I see a "problem" if a OFFICER were a "known Gay man". I WOULDN'T "Salute" him! "Salute" is sign of HONOR & RESPECT. I "don't lie to myself"/I can't lie to myself! I'D -NEVER/EVER- "Salute" someone KNOWN AS "Gay". I see the such as planting disease in my liver!
So, the U.S. MILITARY "Fucked up" these days! [excuse bad language] "Thanks" to Barack Obama AND them who served around him, the recent years! [the Top political is where to FIX that, too!][and, it CAN be "fixed"]

Get the biggest heavy bag as you can find. DON'T try to stabilize it with weights. You want it to swing. Circle the bag in either direction and try to jab it from the farthest distance you possibly can.. Jab at the head and body from the farthest distance you can.. Do this for at least five minutes of just jabbing like crazy to end your daily workout.. It’s the last thing you do in your workout and make it separate from your regular heavy bag routine.. Relax and jab as effortlessly as possible but with as much pop and range as possible.. Do it 5 or 6 days a week.. In 1 year to 15 months work the time up to 30 minutes straight adding a couple minutes a month. Don’t go over 30 min. Your left arm and shoulder will get bigger from this - so you can also jab southpaw for symmetry and to develop better power in your straight right.

For your regular heavy bag workout rip the body with left and right hooks at bottom rib height and dig like crazy with both hands. As you drive the hooks in keep your forearms horizontal. Also drive uppercuts to the abs and solar plexus and try to keep the heavy bag at full swing for a few seconds with a brutal flurry of powerful uppercuts. It may take years to get this much power, but savage heavy bag workouts definitely increase your punching power and harden your fists.
