    Default hallefuckingluyeah!

    I found a gym right close by that has a heavy bag, and it's cheap! I have been keeping myself fit by the usual handstand push-up routine, etc., but I had to leave my poor old bag, which was on it's last legs anyhow, in Florida.

    There is nothing that beats the bag, unless maybe serious wrestling or swimming.

    Speed, strength, eye/hand co-ordination, cardio, and self-defense--you can't get better than the bag.

    It's been a little while, I might have to start with 2 minute rounds, dammit, but it usually doesn't take long to get up to 3. The problem I always have when starting back up if it's been more than a couple of months is the skinned knuckles, but I only like to wrap, I prefer to not use gloves. I'm always leaving off the gloves before the skin is ready.

    Blade, you should get one of your own! Good bags can be gotten for 50$ or so second hand from one of those Play it Again Sam places or sometimes a pawn shop, if you keep looking. It's the best 50$ I have ever spent--mine was brand new, the guy never even used it. It's maybe 100$ for a new 80lb. If you live in a house with a tree, you can hang one using rope, but you have to adjust it carefully for the best height. Just don't ever leave the thing out in the rain! Or if you live in an apartment, like where I am staying now, there might be a gym nearby that has one--though this is rare, and that's why I am so pysched about this.

    If it starts to wear through, you can wrap duct tape around it in various ways, in criss-cross patterns, which will add greatly to the life of the bag. Mine has I don't know how many layers by now, lol--it looks like shit but it still takes a beating.

    For toughening the skin go gloves, with very judicious wrap only use, maybe the last round--this is where I always screw up by being impatient. Then alternate gloves with wraps only, then just wraps. Before long you'll have such thick callouses that going bare skin won't be a problem. But from my experience, and anyone who has done this for long will tell you the same, it's best to use wraps most of the time, to avoid long-term shock stress on the wrists.

    Blade, Djoser; I don't know about the "Play it again" store but I got my 50lb bag at Wal-Mart for about $50. It's an Everlast and it has totally seen better days LOL. But to be fair I have had it for 9yrs.

    It's duct taped to hell, I mean each and ever inch is covered. I leave it outside all year round and when it's not being used I put a garbage bag over it to protect it from the elements.

    Just take the Glad bag and put a small hole in the bottom and hang it over the bag like you would use a suit cover. Think dry cleaners.

    I haven't had any problems with it at all, and Yes it is an awesome rush.

    I use medical tapr (the white fabric stuff) to wrap with. I don't use gloves either, I can't tell how hard I hit or exactly when my hand placement is in gloves. But it's much easier with just the tape.

    My brother has one in his basement, and it gets pretty abused; he's former Marine and has two black belts, so it gets the hell beaten out of it regularly.

    My hands are too delicate for a bag, though.

    Ahh, so you are a little girly boy!

    Hmm, the good answer back to that is that you are keeping them soft for.... ...........Your SO!

    Whoa! This is cool...

    I have to go get wraps, and it is proving difficult as no sporting goods stores around here have them--cheerist, I have two pair in Fla, one of which has a bunch of red spots, lol. So this medical tape idea sounds great! I have used a bit of sports tape on the wrists and light civilian type gloves with good result as well, but that sounds like a better idea. As does the garbage bag idea--hanging up and taking down the bag every other day is a pain in the ass. When I go back to Florida, or wherever, I'll remember that one.

    CO, as far as your hands go, have you ever seen the movie Raging Bull? Robert deNiro, playing Jake laMotta, gives a great spiel in there about how he can never be a great boxer because his hands are too small. Your skin will toughen up like anyone else's.

    www.basrutten.tv and order his work out cd's. They are the best for bag workouts.

    I really enjoy them.

    Hell, I actually have to wrap my wrist's now (I have large wrists) before I put the gloves on. I hit the bag so hard now, that I almost break my wrists from straight compression.

    godbless the heavy bag.

    Thats the problem I ran into--for years I never wrapped, assumed it wasn't neccesary, and wound up injuring one of my wrists. Then I had to lay off for a few months just when I was really getting into it. Now I won't do it without wrapping.

    The video sounds good, I will check that out, thanks!

    I'm sure they would, but I'm preferential to the compliments regarding the softness of my hands, not the least of which originate from dancers.
