question about allan wells training

Goose232,

I understand what you are saying and where you are coming from. It’s like anything until you actually see a squad in action, training on the speedball and watching first hand the transformation in conditioning it is difficult to comprehend how it all works.

I was a sceptic as much anyone but since I did the Bradley (& Wells )type training myself and experienced the difference it made to me and my stablemates (back in 1988), I have been a total convert and wouldn’t change it for anything.

We are fortunate to have access to our own athletic club pavilion where we have 6 speedball wall frames set up and it’s in a parkland away from houses etc, so the noise is not an issue.

I was thinking of speed-ball motion with light dumbells / wrist weights, but aparently it is not the same effect. The shoulders tighten up and pump with acid sonner with the weights in hand, and I don’t think that is the exact effect you are recomending with speed-ball.
In the mean time, I am doing weighted push ups with a sand bag on my back, and I do not have access to weight training. I had some weights, but not a power lifting style bench for proper bench pressing.
