@Silent0Seven because you'll screw your elbows to hell and back. It's fine for endurance work and just working technique as long as your doing the movement slowly and not snapping your elbows. It helps speed but save moving fast for after you put the weights down, not while your using the weight.

@cain0104 Why not punch with weights?
-
It makes perfect sense. Pull a resistance band and then let it go. What happens? It snaps back to it's original form very quickly. Your not hitting yourself in the face, your trying to hit your opponent in front of you therefore it is helping body to learn how to activate its fast twitch muscles going forward and backwards.

having to pull back your hands at the end of your punch with resistance does work on speed. to extend your punches then pull back fast is gunna give you a sharp snap to your punches. the faster you snap your punches, the quicker they are, especially when you are doing combinations. the faster you pull your hands back, the sooner you can throw that next punch...

@MrIllcat yes your right indeed. But I think this kinda works differently..it's like drummers using weights on their legs (while drumming) to improve their technique with Dubble bass. after they remove the weight's they go faster. And from shoulder height...is indeed pretty stupid XD...
Maybe the students miss the concept? they just need to spar and get 'smackt in the face' to learn how to bring there hands up :P.
-
@Spunkyinternall Just...no. Any resistance band training should be forward momentum and then hands back to your face. Not pull on these cords at shoulder height as fast as you can. You don't seem to grasp the concept that i'm talking about making good habits. When you spar a lot of beginning guys like to drop their hands after punches and the only way to fix that is consistent repetition of the punches and then when your back you have your hands up.
-
@MrIllcat It's actually pretty important to bring your hand (after the punch) as quick as possible back to your face to cover up and defend.
you have to pull your punches.
-
@eddy1337 You don't need strength or resistance to do that. It's all about creating good habits when your bringing your hands back to your face, pulling on things isn't going to help you with that.
Lol this video makes no sense, since when is punching a pulling motion?
