Heavy Bag

How much do you weigh?

I don't know maybe 126, but that was a little over a year ago last time I checked. I am only 5'5 though.

Ahh, I'm about 128-130, I'll see how the 70lb goes, I already ordered it

How tall are you though? 70lbs sounds good to start with. See how the bag responds to you punches.

Good luck

I'm 5'8.. In my eyes anything below 70 was too light, anything heavier would take away my speed in exchange for power (at my weight of course).

while we are on the topic, can anyone suggest a weight of bag for a 170 (wana get down to atleast 150) will be used for not jsut punches but elbows/kicks/knees also

i dont have much room to hang it so need something that wont move too much.

Cheers

Don't use your heavy-bag for speed, Get a heavy-bag to develope strength power and punch technique ... Use the speed bag, Double end bag, Punching with weights to develope speed.

I'm saying, the heavier the bag is, the more you start to focus on power. You can still produce speed from a lighter heavy bag..

Ringside waterfilled heavy bags

Water filled heavybags are great!

The Powair bags are discontinued, no longer available.

So i gave the ringside waterbags a shot, and they're great.

I use a ringside 170lb bag and you really got to give it a strong punch to make it swing, very realistic feel, and great on the hands.

Together with a pair of imf tech bag gloves, man,..its really great!

powair foam/water heavy bag

very good for delicate hands

some cheap bags are bad for wrist injuries though, it has something to with the side material of the bag

a 40 lb bag is great for speed, but really nothing beats a speed bag if u want to focus more on technique, it also lets u work on slipping the bag and head movement. all the bags in the gym are useful tools

are water punching bags better than normal ones? i thought of ordering the everlast H2O bag through ebay...
