He should have asked why that platform was such a loose wobbly piece of crap.

Thank you

Started implementing the speed bag a couple years ago and noticed my lead hook started to get faster and more accurate in sparring..

The speedbag is great for changing rhythm at angles and building shoulder muscles

[@GilbertSyndrome]

True, but you can build your shoulders in so many better and more efficient ways, tho. Trying to build your shoulders using a speedbag isn't generally a sure-thing. Shadow-boxing with handweights is better, imo, and it gets you used to wearing bigger gloves and keeping your hands up during the fight. I do like using the speedbag, tho.

[@TheDavey700]

The speed bag seems to be a great exercise for your triceps

[@CriminalScrutinyTV]

The speed bag is a brain trainer, it improves reflexes and sharpens your mind.

[@walkingdeadalphaCO]

You can definitely feel it in the forearms. I have one along with a 100 lbs heavy bag and I've gotten alot better at the speed bag now. I think its great for big people because at least for me it gives me Endurance. I'm 6'4 288 lbs and I love going at it with the speed and heavy bag. Anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes on it with in-between workouts like push-ups and pull ups and dips.

[@corbanboutot1555]

Crap this guy is bigger than me...sweep the leg

[@Jon-go6be]

Well I'm 6 feet 380lbs I stopped after 17 minute and felt like I could go a half hour more. I'm not a boxer but I have become sort of addicted to it. Just sharing my experience

[@barryhowell8992]

My speed bag at home is the best friggin upper body ENDURANCE tool I own. It absolutely SMOKES my front delts and rotator cuffs, both of which have been surgically repaired from other injuries. I've worked my way up from only a few punches to 20-25 seconds of constant striking, and each "set" leaves me absolutely worn out. The speed bag has rehabbed both shoulders and taught me just how out of aerobic shape I really was. Once the light bulb in your head turns on to the "rhythm" aspect, you suddenly want to hit the damn thing until you can't lift your arms anymore. When someone sees you hitting one, especially other MEN, they instantly assume you're a "boxer" and won't start any trouble. I've literally had a couple punks at my local gym conspire to "test me" after they saw me talking to a girl one of them was dating, and it was obviously it pissed them off. So I clobbered the speed bag for a few minutes and their reaction was hilarious. An instant "OH SHIT! He's a BOXER! We better not fuck with him!"

[@ShortAndFormal]

It especially good for beginners to learn how to hit a moving and reactive target. Also to teach the concept of timing.

[@bradmckee4323]

It's help my timing and accuracy immensely. I throw several combinations on it. Jab, hook, cross. I love the triple jab while moving. Feignts, slips, if you can get creative, the skills will transfer into the ring.. Also i practice throwing loose, relaxed punches and work on form. Turning the hands over, snapping the jab and right cross with perfect form. Also i never have to drop my hands. It has definitely helped shoulder endurance.

[@jamesrogers4674]

I've wondered myself years ago when I would keep it going for hours. Why am I doing this? Why can't I stop?

[@ben8176]

what did it improve the most mate

[@smoothdood8766]

Alr this is only video I saw That actually answers my questions now im definitely buying it

[@mezcal187]

It might help with speed, hence speed bag. Definitely with endurance and of course timing. Muhammad Ali did 5-7 rounds daily while in camp. Many of the best of all time happened to be very good at it. You name all the top fighters in recent memory and I bet 98%+ were very skilled with high intensity speed bag work.

[@Kalydosos]

I really like the speaker knows what he's talking about!

[@Lukesh30253]

Just from someone who doesn’t know anything about this I would say it builds stamina arm strength shoulder strength speed agility timing strength in general endurance etc.

[@dustinjones3268]

Love that left hook thanks for this video very helpful

[@sochyvonnnora6035]

I love how honest he is.

[@crismith93]

Seems like one of those things where a boxer may be conscious about not doing it, so do it "just in case" it benefits you since you dont eant to lose that percent of performance. But surely hand cor. and strength endurance are the main features?

[@samsonthemanson]

This whole video was interesting and insightful

[@cartoonhanks1708]

Supposedly the speed bag was made by Jack Dampsey to develop timing for counters and hard hits because hitting it hard makes it move faster. So using successive punches that are all hard would make it move very quickly. The object is to make it move fast without contradicting your stance or power.

[@seanwilliams480]

I agree. I have three different size speed bags right now. Hitting the big one, a 10" x 12" really takes a lot more power to make it move fast. With the smallest bag the effort isn't much more than if you were doing the same motion without the bag. With a big bag, the bag is heavy and requires quite a bit more force to make it smash into the platform and spring back fast. You can't just put your hands through the motions and keep the bag flying. You have to really hit it with power. You can become a lot harder hitter with a big speedbag. It will give you true knock-out power.

[@JoePractice]

It is a great tool if you know how to use it right, only problem with it is, very few people know how to hit it with their knuckles. I really don't know why everyone hits it with the side of there hands when you don't fight that way. Just the same anytime you are moving your hands its going to help you stay fit and that is a good thing. Smokin Joe

[@chatsheetgetbanged6300]

Its not much about weather u should hit it with your knuckles its more a arms and shoulder conditioning and a mental exercise for focusing too because regardless your not going to punch anyone using that motion with your knuckles or without.

[@jamesrogers4674]

I throw normal punches at mine.

[@jamiejosh96]

@@jamesrogers4674 ur doing it wrong then 😂

There's multiple techniques where you work the bag when using your knuckles instead of the more standard way we're all use to seeing. We always called it doggy paddling or the doggy paddle technique at my gym. Look it up im sure you'll find some how to videos on here.

If you work it like an opponent and punch it like a chin but not enough to damage the bag then it's an excellent tool to use. It's fun exercise.

[@davidjd123]

the freedy roach drill got me to have one of the best left hooks in my gyms.

[@pbee73]

The speed bag helps significantly with hand and eye coordination. It also helps with reflexes. Hand and eye coordination is very important in fighting. The speed bag helps you hit a moving target with better accuracy. Better reflexes will help you bob and weave and parry punches with your fists.

[@sargentstephens45]

I'd always thought it was for rhythm and co-ordination.

[@blairhoskinson9115]

I like this dude. The speed bag is "mythical" like dude said. None of the good fighters I know fuck with it in MMA, but a good amount of gyms still have one. Why would you waste time on something that doesn't really emulate a real punch. I'd rather explode on the heavybag for 3-5 minutes with applicable combos or hit mits-but to each their own.

[@The1Helleri]

I'm wondering if part of it's purpose could be training a muscle memory around deflecting incoming strikes to the face.

[@GLYDESTYLE]

Id lose the skipping, because you should get your feet moving whilst shadowboxing instead. Get the angles, pivots, ring cutting and retreat circling down. Jumping rope is not gonna improve your feet better than any of that

Nah, first piece of equipment to go if any would be the skipping rope. You can skip and speedbag the same time. 2 birds, one stone.

[@CommKommando]

skipping rope is just as important as the heavy bag. Ask Ali Pacman and Mayweather. People who dont skip rope are flat footed and get hit more

[@franco912]

I don't see the use of a speed bag i'd rather do a double end bag training as for skip rope they are other cardiovascular exercises.

[@PunchProfessor]

Dino G Demetro There is not a bunch of difference between a big dollar Speed Bag and a Cheap Speed Bag but there are some out there that are JUNK True Paulie D' The Punch Professor

[@seanwilliams480]

There's a HUGE difference between a quality PLATFORM and a junk platform. Most of the bags you can buy will be good. But if the platform is not ROCK SOLID, with almost zero movement, it's gonna screw up any rhythm you hope to get. That's why you almost always see speed bag platforms in the top boxing gyms made out of really thick, heavy wood. And why you almost always see a bunch of sandbags on top of them. It's to prevent vibration, twisting and any other movement that will disrupt the rhythm of the bag.
