calves
I see everyone talking about calve work. My favorite exercise is standing calf raises this way:
1)start at full stretch
2)raise weight as high as you can to a 4 count
3)hold for 3 count
4)push up farther (you are actually tightening your calf)
5)hold for 3 count
6)push up farther (same as before)
7)hold for a 3 count
8)go back to full stretch position on a 4 count
9)hold for a 3 count
10)repeat
3 sets of 12-15, if this doesn't hurt, we are cheating.

Something that has always been a question that is kind of trivial is:
How does hitting a punching bag increase strength?
Also, how do those little ones (can't think of the name.. move really fast) help you?

Not trivial. A fair question.
Repetitive use striking a heavy bag will build strength by 1-teaching the muscles how to hit harder (and by using them again and again) and 2-restructuring of the bones to allow them to absorb more impact...again, allowing one to strike harder.
Speed bag, just builds better hand/eye coordination and makes one well...faster...hence the name speed bag.

How's that song go?
na na na na, na na na na, na na, goodbye.
Or is it...
goodbye girl
goodbye girl
girl goodbye.
Or perhaps...
don't go away mad
just go away.
