I made the decision to start overtraining by using weights when I jog and using 16 ounce gloves for striking instead of 12 ounce gloves, which means I'm basically adding an entire MMA glove to my hand. I also started using ankle weights for kickboxing and clinch striking. It's definitely alot more work, but once you take the weights off and hit the punching bag for a little while then you feel so much faster and stronger.

I completely agree ironman. I usually use ankle weights and dont laugh but i hold a 12oz. can of dog food in each hand and shadowbox for a while before i hit the bag. I like your training routine also.
