Best thing I have bought in years.....

No it is not a gun, It's a heavy bag. It was actually a Christmas present for my son. Almost every evening I put on the gloves and go beat the crap out of it.

Good exercise and a great way to blow off some stress from the day.
Anyone else have one...

    Those things will definitely wear you out. Great workout, though. Good for you.

    Yes I have one and agree about the value! Just be careful... You catch it with a solid punch at the wrong time in the swing and you may break something... If no break, it will still hurt like hell!

    Yeah, I almost hurt myself a couple of times before I got better gloves with wrist support.

    Try to get some mma gloves they are open palm boxing gloves good ptotection for contact sparring, I guess they will protect your knuckles from getting busted up too if you want (I prefer to bust my knuckles makes them harder when they heal). The best thing is they will allow you to do a wide rage of open hand strikes from multiple angles as well as grapple. I find them to be indespesible for sparring. I prefer to hit my heavy bag bare handed, just personal preference. Congrats on the heavy bag its a good conerstone of any good workout.

    I am on my second bag, first one lasted almost 13 years of daily use, it was covered in duct tape because the leather cover was busted open in several places, still worked till I tried to make fun of my wife's fighting style by jumping and hanging on the bag and biting it. the nylon strap that held on the D ring ripped out where it was sewn into the bag and it wouldn't hang right after that. I've had my "new" one for about 2 years and love it.

    I use the Nevatear Double Ended MMA Bag in 14x48" 100lbs, as well as an xxl wavemaster free standing bag and a Body Opponent Bag. It really does help with stress. If you are looking into making a home training gym let me know and I will help you out.
