Heavy bags, yet again

[JR 137]

Haha, that's actually my photo

What are the chances?

Is it like that to keep it out of the way when not in use, or do you hit it like that sometimes?

[JR 137]

Of all of the bags that I've beat the tar out of, I must have the most densest bag known to man. Anything less, is unsatisfying for me; I hit like a mule!

I've trained with the bag you're interested in, and I liked it, but it wasn't of the dense quality that I insist upon.

Hopefully, you'll find the bag that serves your every MA need!!

Which bag are you referring to?

Kind of reminded me of the Right Guard commercials in the 80s - "Anything less would be uncivilized."

Sorry, I'm slow...but I don't understand the question...trust me...it's me, NOT you!!

Which punching bag were you referring to? The Outslayer Muay Thai bag, the body bag, or the Everlast cardio heavy bag?

I think you meant an Outslayer bag, but I wasn't sure. If it wasn't dense enough, they can reportedly be filled up to 300 lbs, by you or the company.

Primarily to keep it out of the way, but I do occasionally hit it that way

Bit late to the party but I've got a bag that's shaped a bit like the body one for uppercuts etc. (Not an Outslayer bag though). It's OK and I do use it for elbows and uppercuts. Depending on the height it's set at I can use it for knees too. That said, these things don't form a massive part of my training so I could have done with out it and sometimes I feel I would have been better off with a Muay Thai type bag.

I thought up a bunch of potentially great bobbing and weaving drills with it that way. It's all about being creative.

Now the clown downstairs has to get his junk out of there!

Thanks a lot for the insight. Much appreciated.

I've a 500 pound bag from KOFighters; thus far, it satisfies me, for now!!

Cardio bags bore me to death!

That Everlast cardio bag was firmer than anything else there, minus a bag that had settled and had spots that were like concrete. I kept wondering why it had cardio written on it. Maybe because it wasn't 100 + lbs?

What do you hang a 500 lb bag from, a crane?

On another note, it should be very easy to hang a bag in my basement. I've got 2 4x6 (possibly bigger) beams that run the length of the basement and have several spots where I can wrap a hanger strap all the way around it, thereby not having to drill and screw in a hanger. Got the perfect spot all picked out. Maybe I can put my Total Gym down there too and make Chuck Norris proud.

The waiting game begins...

To the bold type above...

I had that bag professionally installed. They came in the morning, I did some errands around town, and by the time I got home a few hours later, it was the most dominate thing in the garage!!

Excuse my ignorance Bob, but what do you need a 500 lb bag for? That thing must be huge. I thought the point of bags were that they were roughly the width of a person?
