150 Lb Heavy bag

[Phantasm]

Do you really need a 150 pound bag? I've been told to work with one that is at least half your weight. Unless you weigh 300 pounds, you can get a nice 100lb Everlast bag at most sporting good stores...I could be wrong though...any other opinions?

I dont really subscribe to that theory. You arent going to be facing someone half your weight in the ring, why would you train for someone half your weight outside of it? I think that the heavier the bag, the more realistic the training.

Is a heavybag generally more heavier in weight than an actual person at that weight???..... I mean... if a person is 150 Ibs., is a 150 Ibs. heavy bag the exact same weigh or is more like dead weight, which is heavier???.... Also, where can you buy a 200 Ibs. Heavy Bag?
