IMO, absolutely it is better to train with heavier gloves. It increases your endurance, improves your handspeed, and it protects your hands. I train with 20's and spar with 16's. The Gel bag gloves from Title are 20 oz. and have the profile of a 14 or 16-oz. glove. They are my personal favorite training glove.

I shadow box with with these 1kg weights, I think they are intended to put on your ankles. You can just wrap them around your wrists. Does wonders for you.

i hear its bad for ur joints to wrap weights around ur wrists (or ankles). the weight isnt distributed even so it puts pressure on ur joints. i think weighted gloves are the way to go. title has weighted bag gloves that 12 ounces without weight and u can add a total of 2 pounds in them (4, half pound weights) in each glove. i use them they are awesome it really helps in keeping ur hands up, power, and speed. i need to get some new ones though cuz these ones i got are on their way out...

I think 16oz is OK but if you really want to increase your handspeed yeah get heavier gloves or shadow box while carrying light weights on each hand.
