    The reason it broke is because its cold outside.

    The cold temperature slows downs molecules
    causing the elasticity of the exercise band to be
    greatly reduced, under stress it snaps.

    I broke two jump ropes last winter because I wanted to get
    in during low temp, pavement cut through the ropes.

    i figured as much. i was using them to work my handspeed in conjunction with a make shift double end bag.
    supported it with my weight bench, bout 3 minutes into my workout, im getting whipped wondering what the ? going on.

    you have any experience with them adjustable weighted ropes? im looking to cop one, i already got a cloth one, leather one and a latex one... just need a weighted one.

    Not with adjustable weighted ropes, but ropes with the weights in the handles.
    That was the one I broke too. ? expensive at Sports Authority.

    Man to work on hand speed you just need to punch with repetition.
    Weights dont increase speed just endurance. Get two 3lb dumb bells
    and just do punches with them. Out front of your body, nothing forceful
    just light work, do that for rounds.

    Work on your punches per round as well. You should be workin yourself
    up to throwing 400 punches per round in practice on a bag. Same thing with kicks.
    Stand in front of a heavy bag and do alternating front kicks. ? will have you burnin.

    hunh.
    coach told me that band ? helps with speed.
    coach also in my weightclass for GG.... this ? man...

    nah mayne. You should be in the gym. For every round in the fight you
    train six on the bag. If its GG you should be puttin in work on the heavy
    bag and the double end bag gettin your slip game up.
    You should also have somebody holdin mitts for you everyday at the gym, preferably
    your coach to see where you are deficient, shore it up. Practice slippin
    duckin footwork and combinations. You should be able to just free flow with the
    hands just throwin combos. Always think in combos breh 5-8 punches deep.
    Every punch is a question.

    Damn I miss mbein in the gym. I havent trained in over a year. SMFH

    yeah you gotta remember tho.
    i may end up fighting my coach in the tourny... so that could be why he acting funny style with the curriculum and keeps himself in the center of the ring for most the round robins.

    LMAO that ? usin yall to keep himself sharp.

    My coach was training too but he still coached the team.
    Thats ? up because intentionally or not ? gonna
    keep ? from you.
