Weight Of Heavy Bag

Why do you suggest an MMA type glove? If the kid wants to box then go with the boxing style. If the kid just wants to hit the bag around it really doesn't matter what he's using. :boxing: :-P

==========Hey ya'll. I'm a 15 year old freshman======== **Tell you what kid, why don't you check out a couple of boxing gyms in your area and ask if they'll let you work on their heavy bags. You can check out how you like the different sizes and get some tips on your gloves and hands, and can make an informed choice.

What's MMA?

Do yourself a favor and spend the extra buck or two for a 100pounder. 70 will swing way too much, I realize your 15, but you are planning on getting stronger and hitting harder aren't you. With gloves, i suggest any sort of MMA type glove or bag glove with wraps underneath. And always remember to hit hard. Now might be a good time to start strengthening your wrists and fore arms. Otherwise your first time on the bag may be a painfull one.

Nevermind about that, I've found enough room in my bedroom to hang it.

Let me add something. I WILL be hanging this bag outdoors, so it needs to be tough. outdoors eh...what are you hanging it off of?

Don't feel bad, I read that Will Smith was only benching 150 lbs at 180 lbs. bodyweight before he started weight training for Ali.

70lb Ringside bag will be fine for you. Definitely get Hook and Loop bag gloves. You don't always have someone there to lace them up for you! I like G&S and Ringside gloves.
