So in my house is a 70 pound heavybag that I almost never use anymore. It just no longer feels heavy or dense enough. Feels like I might as well be shadow boxing. Any tips or wisdom on proper heavy bag weights? Just kinda curious.

But in all seriousness, do you know what the inside is made of? Sand or that cloth stuffing stuff? I would imagine if its sand, add more sand, and if its that cloth stuffing stuff, get garbage clothes and push it in. Weigh it first of course, don't want the weight all funky in certain places.

Its actually a hanging water filled bag. Prob half the problem. lol. I'm thinking of going to the local hardware store and getting some sand to replace the water.

It is done. I made a mess but it only cost $6 and I have turned my 70 pound water bag into a 100 pound sand filled bag. Works much better

I'm not sure filling a water heavybag with sand was the best idea but i guess you'll find out.
Personally i bought a 180 pounds water heavybag around christmas and i love it, i thought that a water bag might not give as good a workout but on the contrary it's even better.
