hi /fit/!
i have to ask a question.
How do you improve your muscle speed?
punching faster for example....
it's right to make 3 rep with heavy weight?
or it's better to use lower weights but a lot of fast reps?

italianfag here, sorry for any errors...

You don't punch much with your arms, actually. Legs, ass, hips and back are way more important.

Clapping pushups.

Plyometrics. They reprogram your nervous system to move faster and blah blah. Full squat box jumps, clapping pushups, and the shit in Fast & Loose by Pavel will make you faster. In the end, it's practicing punching that will make you faster.

Want to punch faster?
Well there's two parts to that, technique and musculature.
You can build both at the same time through a sport called boxing.
Try some 16oz gloves, you'll notice a difference in a dozen-or-so sessions.

General strength for a base: heavy squatting, deads, pressing, etc.

Specific movement practice for whatever it is you want to do: striking, jumping, sprinting, whatever.

There are two broad types of voluntary muscle fibers: slow twitch and fast twitch. Slow twitch fibers contract for long periods of time but with little force while fast twitch fibers contract quickly and powerfully but fatigue very rapidly. (wikipedia)


For fast punches, the technique is more important though. You gotta use your whole body instead of just the arms. Adds speed and power.
