you don't read too carefully.
I said you want the most INCREASE in speed (ie acceleration) at the start of a punch...not the total speed.
whats faster? a car going from 0-70 in 10 sec. or a car going 0-60 in 3 sec? you are saying the 70mph car, I'm saying the 3 sec car.
You are talking power, I'm talking impulse.
punching with weights, I mentioned its a good place to start (it's builds the strength needed in the right places to support overall speed), it's not an all-encompasing method of increasing speed..just an added exercise to what has already been suggested.
specter wanted ideas, I'm giving some of mine that I have actually trained doing. take it or leave it. believe me or not. try it or guess.
It amazes me how people can feel justified in making an argument based on speculation.

I'd say you'd punch higher since the resistance is to the floor, which makes you adjust your punch upwards.
Even as a guess, this is rediculous.

law of slowness
??? not familiar with that law...or that the common-sense law that says anything moving slowly is not moving fast? lol
readup on Newton's Laws of Motion to find out what you are talking about.
