Water filled heavy bags

[hugh grant]

Is a punchman any good for an alternative to a punch bag or tube?

ive got that one - it is fantastic. it has stood up to weather from under my porch (not in direct sun or rain but still lasts a long time). it can take an absolute BEATING. doesn't really sink.

most importantly it will make a damn man out of you.

I like it at lot, thought it's not like a normal heavy bags, you can pound a water bag like crazy and it will mostly just jiggle.

could you fill one with sand?

No its different material and will break easier, you shouldnt fill heavy bags with sand any way.

sand makes em heavier cheaply, plus that little shock strengthens your tendons over time (long as you dont over do it), and if you wear mitts and hit it when you close your fist last moment even hitting it lightly you get a real nice digging in feeling.

but thats just a canvas bag that i have filled with sand, id imagine with 3 inches of foam it might feel diffrent.

Just in my experience a heavy bag filled with sand normally settles like concrete near the bottom 3rd and throwing body shots nearly breaks your hand.

well you need to fill it with enough sand that when it settles it fills the bottom 3/4. then the whole thing nearly breaks your hand till you get used to it.

as long as you stop on the bag for the day the moment you feel pain eventually youll get used to it with out any injury.

Ok, I thought you can just use better fillers like rags and leather cuttings, you just need it compacted by a machine?

The heavy bag at my work has settled, it is a lot softer hitting it at head height then at body level.

Have to get used to hitting concrete, sounds like fun, lol.
