heavybag weight?

[colin scott]

I was wondering if you guys subscribe to the theory that the ideal heavybag weight for a boxer should be half your bodyweight.

ie: If I weigh 140lbs then my ideal bag weight would be 70lbs,Or perhaps you think the heavier the better..?

I guess most people will probably prefer to use a variety of different size bags to work on different things,However if they could only choose one heavybag what would you recommend..?

if 140 is ur fighting wieght, then i think 100lbs. but u cant go wrong with 200lbs

bag size is not a function of the guys weight using the bag. smaller bags are for technique, speed and coordination. larger bags are for building power, weight resistance and developing conditioning in your hands and wrists.
