[tomhead69]

what shall i do to work the triceps

[jberg]

dips
till you cannae' do no more

[sterling]

what are dips?

[T-97]

what are dips?

They are were you sit in front of a ledge or chair etc. Then you put your hands on the edge of the chair and push your self up amd then lower etc.

You so it so your back is against the object.

I know its a crap explanation, but i find it hard to explain them lol. If you google it you can probbaly get diagrams or videos showing you.

[jberg]

yeah keep your hands near each other behind your back. plant them on the edge of a low(ish) bench or object.
then just lower yourself down and then come back up.
theres also the standing version using 2 rails, where you lower yourself

I noticed a better jab quality when I focused on pulling my jab back quickly to my face after I threw it, I also noticed a big speed/power inc on it when I exhale sharply as I throw it.

Adding weight to your shadow boxing or some resistance will help with speed. Use the double end bag and speed bag for coordination. If you are looking for power, simply stepping in with the jab does wonders.

[jberg]

yeah stepping ins good. does everyone have that thing where you get hit if you dont pull your jab back straight to your face. ****in love it
