![]() ![]() Honestly, most of your punching power will come from the legs and core anyway! If anything, the arms are only for speed and endurance. But if you’re a core-puncher (superior punching technique), and punching with relaxed arms, then increasing your arm/shoulder strength wouldn’t do as much for your punching power. If you’re an arm-puncher (inferior punching technique), then it makes sense that increasing your arm/shoulder strength would increase your punching power. But what if your physical conditioning is already great? Well, in that case…I don’t believe throwing punches with weights will do much for you. Is your physical conditioning really poor? If so, then yes…doing anything physical like running or punching with weights or push-ups, can strengthen you and make you stronger and faster. But to what degree will it really improve your punching power and handspeed?…this depends on many things. It can strengthen your shoulders and that extra strength in itself may give you a little more power and speed. At best, shadowboxing with weights is only a conditioning exercise. (It depends on your technique, and also existing strength.)ġ. ![]() Will shadowboxing with weights increase handspeed and punching power?Ī: Not really.
