Blisters...Ripped up knuckles...How to prevent?

[YellowAndBlack]

Hey guys, my hands have just recently healed up from hitting the heavy bag without proper gloves (just gel gloves...big mistake). However, I know have handwraps, and some bag gloves, but I get these blisters and my skin is rubbed off from my hands, my questions are, is this normal? Do I have the right kind of gloves? Could I be punching wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.

smoke some crack.

Aside from smoking crack, you should make sure your hands are wrapped properly with good hand wraps. Search the internet for the wraps and how to put them on. Make sure you have good gloves for bag work. Also, practice a little shadow boxing to make sure you are throwing the punches correctly. better to find out your doing it wrong in front of a mirror than when hitting the bag. Finally, don't try to kill the bag right away. get used to hitting it, throwing punches and combos, and when you get cofrotable in your rhythm, then start hitting it harder.

Also, don't smoke crack.

Thanks man, I appreciate the advice...I didn't plan on smoking crack either. Kind of cuts into the whole "getting into the best shape of my life before I take a beating" idea haha.
