Hey guys Im new......

So far i have a heavy bag, 16 oz gloves, and handwraps. I was wondering if 16 oz gloves would be good to use on a heavy bag and what the difference is between 16, 14, 12 oz. Also what would be some good drills to increase my punching speed and power and what muscle group should i work on to facilitate that. I dont know if im going to boxing competitively, so this is just for conditioning right now, thanx.

Mike, this article should answer most of your questions regarding the size of gloves:

What Everyone Ought to Know About Boxing Gloves

Speed and power is not the result of stronger muscles (although it helps a bit), it comes through proper technique. Specifically, work on speed and the power will come. Do a search on the site for speed and power and you'll find some drills/suggestions.
