Ne ideas..on what bags..are good..i noticed alot of them on ebay say 40-65lb max fill..that doesn't seem heavy enough...

Just need some tips, also what do you fill it with ive heard clothes which i don't believe would reach the weight you need. Also sand i think im gonna do this and make sure to buy the sand with out moisture in it...

Thanks Again! ne comments would help

Buy one from a shop that already full, that kinda stuff on ebay has too many drawbacks. Just go get a 75LB bag and you'll be fine.

i say if you are more of a speed puncher or just not heavy handed i would go 60. If you wanna feel it in your hands and you want some resistance go 70-75, if you are a heavy handed fighter or just a strong dude, i would go 80-85. Be careful though, hit to low and you'll break your hand. Remember to hit it as it goes away from you. Until you get the bag broken in if you hit it while its on the comeback you can sprain shit rather easy. Dont lie to yourself if your really gonna buy one. Make sure that you buy what works for you. Dont go for the big weight if it doesnt feel right. When you hit the bag and its the right bag for you, you'll know.

Also, if you decide to get a 60 pound one and after a while you feel like you want to go higher. One thing you can do is take weights and thread the chain through the free weights where you tie it up at in the rafters of your basement. You will not feel it in the hands like you would with a bag that was made to be 85 pounds. But you will feel the added weight in your arms and back, not to mention your abs, thighs, calfs, and feet. It simulates and larger opponent and having to keep him away.

Any more questions feel free to ask.

wait a minute. That one night where we were talking shit back and forth about which one would kick the other ones ass, you said that you were something like 6'6 245 pounds. How in the hell are you not hitting the 80-85 pound bags. Now i know i would take you.

dude, it was all I could afford at the time. By the way, my height and weight hasn't changed, but I'm getting stronger day by day :cool: :boxing:

Dude, I'm just an Air Force cop...gimme a break!

seriously only 75 lb bags? are you talking getting that in ur basement? i mean when i wanted to get a bag i wanted to buy 100lb bag at least cause i mean the one i hit at the gym is 150lbs

Whats a good size heavy bag to buy-im 165 pounds and about 5"8

mschill, it depends on not only your weight but your boxing experience. have u just started boxing? if ut have then u prob have crappy technique and not much power. from wat i already know, i wud recomend a 100lb bag, u can get lighter, but 100lb will do u good coz it will be ahrd for u to move it around so it will really test ya

alright thanks man

If you're in the USA, check out Play It Again Sports, I picked up a used 75lb Everlast bag for about $30. A little duct tape, and it works great.

i need a punching bag also... i just have no where to put it..
