Hey recently i havent been able to do a good work out on the bag, i get ready for a couple of hours training, get on the bag and within 5 minutes my arms feel like **** and its hard to hit it?

try to work at a slower pace (dont go flat out for 20 seconds and rest for a round)
move in and out
use foot work and punching.

if that doesnt work take 1 or 2 days off.

Its been over a period of 2 weeks, ive been taking 3 day breaks to see if there was a different outcome, there wasnt ;(

use lighter gloves.
or just push your self and your endurance should improve.
do tricep dips, pushups, pullups and med ball training to help.
it could be latcic acid if it is tomatoes can help.

ok and im using 8oz's lol... what do u reccomend?

Just relax, and put in your work. Don't think about it too much, and definitely don't think about getting tired. And just keep at it, you'll get better!

8 oz and 10 oz are good but 14 oz and 16 oz are good for building power.
you should do 2 or 3 min rounds insted of 10 min without a break.

cheers all

Do you do weights or a lot of strength/endurance training for your upper body?

If so, I've found that when I minimize the time spent on these exercises, I am able to go longer on the bag as my arms don't feel as heavy and don't get tired as quickly. Just a thought.

Maybe its because you train for 2 hours before you do any bag work!

i think you have to properly learn how to hit the bag,if your arms get tired you are not hitting it right,are you swinging like someone who is trying to swat a fly,are your hands open and are you slugging like you are trying to tear the bag apart,if you continue to hit the bag with fierce uncoordinated,wild,swings you may dislocate your shoulder which will put you in a sling for a couple of weeks,so take your time and start from the basics,stand in front of a mirror and throw punches slowly at first jab,jab,right:boxing:

WOW, what a surprising reply from MRBOXER. That copy, paste must have taken about 5 seconds, thanks again!

Maybe its because you train for 2 hours before you do any bag work!what are you trying to say with this fabled comment,if you train you must and should be ready for bag work,no ifs ands or buts,a boxer feels the most relaxed while hitting the bag and if there is tireness it may be a result of fly swatting syndrome,which can be rectified with proper punching:boxing:
