Are "the shakes" permanent?

sounds like you aren't hitting the bag properly and are punching it when it is coming towards you and not away..
another thing.. are you wearing hand wraps and what type of gloves are you using?
I hope your not doing it bare knuckle because then your an idiot.

Lol, I have been using Everlast 12 ounce regular gloves... I know I'm supposed to be using heavy bag gloves, but my choices that I have right now are the everlast gloves, or everlast gel wraps, which tend to let my 2nd joint in my finger get cut up.

I have been hitting it when it is coming back at me... now that you mention it, it is obvious that I have been doing it wrong. I have probably been exposing my hands to way too much force.

I also have the bag that is designed for middleweights (because I'm destined to gain weight one of these days), when I only weigh 130, so it may be that it is too heavy for my hands.

I can tell you that it hurts when I connect solidly with the bag... does that mean I got one that is too heavy?

I'll get back to you on that in the next couple of hours.

Do your hands shake all the time or just after the workout?
My hands used to shake when i tried to take a drink of water right after doing a lot of shoeshines or pyramids. I dont think yours is permanent, if you just started its most likely that your hands are shaking because they are very tired and not used to it.

It's been a few hours since I pounded the bag and they are still shaking slightly, but it does go away overnight.

Okay, good, that means someone else has had what happened to me.

I was kind of worried for a bit.

It's a common mistake for people new to hitting the bag.

Here's a nice little video. I can't find the first one though that shows you how to hit it properly but I'm sure if you look on youtube you will find it.
