We can't ignore the fact punching with weights does increase dexterity, speed, and power, sure if an amateur uses them wrong it could develop bad habits as you said, but if done right it's an effective training method. I'd advise doing a weighted training set then do the same length regularly without weights.

I've seen a lot of great fighters doing not so great exercises, or just flat out junk training. You've got to ask: did shadow boxing with the weights actually contribute to making Floyd a good boxer or not? I know a lot of good fighters who shadowbox with weights and they honestly believe it helps- and here's why I think that is: it slows you down and feels harder. We're already conditioned to think that this kind of action makes us stronger/better (ie: lifting heavy weights increases strength). But with the weighted shadowboxing, there's the extra benefit of the placebo affect (which actually can have a profound physical impact in some cases) for when we put the weights down and relax the muscles again, then we can move much faster- so we feel the contrast, and we FEEL faster. So a lot of people convince themselves that weighted punching has actually granted them a permanent increase in speed. You should check out Firas Zahabi's video on junk training where he picks apart rope skipping as a waste of time. I was shocked when I heard him say that since all the great fighters have skipped rope- it's just always been something that fighters did- but he makes some really good points that are worth considering.

I agree completely with the logic you made in the video, but would like to make a suggestion perhaps. I think one of the reasons you got such criticism out the gate was the first impression you gave the viewer with the title card. Calling it stupid outright, correct or not, will immediately put anybody who actually practices weighted shadowboxing on the defensive, and cause them to throw away your argument and further justify themselves with fallacies like the Mayweather bit that keeps coming up. The video itself in contrast, is far more professional than the title suggests, but the defensive edge the title creates takes from your credibility and anybody you are looking to realistically convince into taking up gloves instead of dumbbells may not hear the message because of it. I would perhaps go with, "Problems with dumbbell shadowboxing" or something of the sort in the future, so as not to put people on edge before they even click the thumbnail.

@@WilScoto nope and I noticed this two. I only clicked because I want to get another opinion. His explanation makes sense to the basic learner but not to an experienced thinker. So the issue here is that if you train with weights your boxing technique suffers from the fact that you trained yourself to punch with something held. The problem would be that he thinks people are so simple that if they trained like this their "techniques" become ineffective of HOW you actually perform. I've taken boxing classes and it improves your strength. Next you (without weights) shadow box with the proper technique and you'll realize without the weights as long as your not mentally disabled you can indeed throw a proper punch. Not to mention hes a selfish teacher. On average you can practice with 2lbs 4lbs and even 10lbs to increase your boxing abillity. I can use 20lbs without injuring 3 sets for 7 to 10 seconds with good time to rest In between. I should make my own video contradicting his because I practice with and without weights to "PRACTICE" form. Thus the term "meathead" is still relevant in 2021 smh.

The point of the dumbbells is to increase muscle insurance. You aren’t loose but stiff and you weren’t punching fast you just weren’t extending most of your punches. You don’t always have to squeeze the fist. Most top boxers and amateurs train this way which helps for when you’re taking punching in the arm and being able to keep it up - hence Floyd Mayweather. It isn’t meant to be a 24/7 training method. You’ve also never seen any empirical evidence that Floyd beat on any woman yet you are trying to use that as red herrings. Picture or video evidence?

Along with the glove work (I agree - but I also have a couple 1.5 lb. weights that have a velcro band which secures around the back of the hand, which allows for me to hold them as they are normally held, but loosely - so that, at impact, I can still clench down), a lot of people train with resistance bands or pulleyed weight, especially at the peak of the strike, helping them to focus tension there, along with isometric holds at impact points. There's also the argument of those familiar with Wing Chun, sticky hand drills, which might contend that it also is necessary to be able to understand how to go from entanglement to striking, and back again, fluidly; wherein, from grappling to striking and back and forth, there's spaces of dynamic movement across the gradient with small spaces of relaxation: for example, from checking an incoming strike with your lead hand, retaining it with your other, then striking with the lead hand as you pull your target to you with the other hand. There's also a lot to say about overload training with weapons and how such can beneficially carry over to empty hand strikes, as demonstrated here, when one learns how to properly relax before the point of impact, even while holding on beforehand :-) Enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYnEmKSsba2fgJI

Training is mental first. If a person can't separate the thought of punching with weights from punching without weights, then they've already lost on the reason for training in the first place. The weights are just for endurance and speed. Now of course you supposed to separate the gripping the weights part. Do it when holding the weights but when you throw a real punch then that's when you do what you was doing without (point of impact then clinch fist) I agree. and don't build up habits. But holding weights in the hand helps out drastically! For instance, if originally you can throw maybe 100 punches straight before getting tired or feeling weak and can't throw anymore. After training with weights you'll breeze through those 100 like nothing. That's a personal proving fact from my own experience.

Why dumbells are stupid to punch with is more accurate. As back when I originally started training over a decade ago I bought 1lb ankle weights to go with MMA gloves that I used for lessons as I never got/needed 16oz gloves. I would practice fundamentals of both movement and strikes with weights kn legs or arms. Sadly now that I started training for real again one is leaking its sand so I bought 5lbs adjustable ones. I still train slow deliberate strikes with the even heavier ankle weights now, the main thing is to go SLOW at first. Go for fastest speed you can and that's a good way to tear something as the weight is in one spot and isn't distributed the same as if it were body mass. Granted there may be scientific evidence out there for why not to wear weights at all for training (including running, walking, plyometrics) which I am still looking into, but I think the risk is worth the reward if doing it safely as you can.

Yes controversial. The weights on shadow boxing is important... From his point of view of simulating a fight, no weights are bad of course.... butttttttttttttttt if you were to throw a control jab, and return to the chin, the WEIGHT simulates the blocking off the jab technique. I believe the weights should be heavy enough so that the jab or throw can be sent without tensing up and return to the chin for better shoulder stability. And kicking with weights in your hand teaches to always consider how hands swinging down by the side when kicking exposes the head. Weights can be used to actually simulate throwing a kick while taking "damage" while throwing. Swimmers use this too. Slow things down, think of strength. not improving your game with them.

Also Shadow Boxing with dumbells absolutely works. I do it myself with a 5 lb dumbbell I'm pretty heavy my self I dont recomend any higher than that. And it's a slow extension of the jab and a slow extension of the straight with full motion of your legs. A good routine would be 5 rounds of 1min First round with dumbells nice and slow dont lose form Second round with out dumbells nice and fast and lose but dont lose form that way you wont make it a habit balling your fist. And so forth until you finish all your 5 rounds. Bet your hand speed and your foot work will sky rocket.

Loose until the moment of impact. Otherwise you will just slow yourself down, tire yourself out, and inflict injuries on yourself.

You dint always have to squeeze the fist you can be lose with holding weights i do it all time And using 1 pound weight wont do anything you have to use at least 2 pound and shouldn’t go heavier than 3 pounds Otherwise its will make your technique sloppy
Uppercuts make a lot more sense with weight than straight punches.

Instead of using weights , what about using Velcro sandweights? I have a few at home that you are supposed to wrap around your arms or legs. Could using these help? as they do not involve gripping onto a solid weight, hence leaving my hands loose until impact. I would appreciate any info Ramsey ...cheers .

With weighted punching is not about speed during the training. It's to work the muscles you use while your punching It should be nice and slow with full form.

No. Good punching technique will increase your speed. You need to connect your footwork and your breathing to your punches. You’re hands won’t move any faster than your feet or your breath.

All great boxers incorporate weight training into there workout in various ways, including shadow boxing with handheld weights and pulley systems. It does not create the problems Dewey suggests because it is only a fraction of their routine. And if Dewey was as knowledgeable as he pretends to be, he’d know that. Then again, he’d also be training champions not making useless KZbin videos trying to boost his ego.
@HylianHanzou4 жыл бұрын
It's a fraction, completely not the reasons of any boxer's success. So, if it's potentially dangerous (more than other drills) and there are other exercises that do a better job for your punching game, why even bother? It doesn't even help you simulate a real punching mechanic.

God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). We’re not sinners because we sin, but rather we sin because we’re sinners. Sin is the nature of our flesh that we are born with due to the sin of Adam in the garden. For someone to be justified before God they have to be sinless. We’ve all sinned (Romans 3:23), and the the law demands death for those who sin (Romans 6:23). God is righteous, so He must punish our sin, which is what He did through His Son Jesus Christ on the cross. Jesus is Holy and sinless, yet He received our sin when He died on the cross, so that we can be righteous before God (2 Corinthians 5:21). When He died on the cross, He said “It is finished” (John 19:30), which means He paid the full price for all of your sins (past, present, and future) to be forgiven. He was buried and rose again from the dead. God will forgive anybody who puts their full trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. We aren’t saved based on our good deeds, but only by the grace of God (Ephesians 2:8-9). His precious blood that He shed is the only reason why we can be forgiven of our sins (Hebrews 9:22). If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead, then you’ll be saved (Romans 10:9). You are born-again with the Spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and are not only legally justified before God, but also are accredited His righteous (Romans 4:24). Believers live for Christ now, so get to know Him through His Word. I recommend reading the book of Romans and the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), and watching Pastor Joseph Prince’s online sermons
