Not Cathe here, but I have weighted gloves that I use for many of my kickboxing/boxing workouts. They are 1# each, and I wouldn't recommend going over that because of the risk of shoulder and elbow stress. When you punch with force, you are already adding intensity, so a light weight feels heavier than it is.
Even with 1#, I worked up to using them gradually, first using them in slower kickboxing routines, or using them for a shorter amount of time.
