Question
how can i gain speed in my punches?my old trainner told me workout with light weights throw punches with'em  in palm then throw punches with out them.so what ever tip u have please be free and tell!

Answer
Allot of speed problems can be overcome with proper form.  You are probably not throwing your punches correctly.  You would be surprised how much your speed reduces when you lift an elbow or do not spin your feet to rotate your weight.  Also a good fast double end bag may help your combinations.

Thanks,
