Biggest heavy bag available to buy?

The heaviest bag I've ever seen in stores is 100 lbs. for a hanging heavy bag. Unless you are a real big guy I doubt you'll be moving it around a whole lot when compared to a 70 lb. bag. Besides, why don't you want it to move. That allows you to work in toward the bag when moving away and to sidestep it when it swings back.


When I hang a bag, I like to have space all around it so I can move in all directions. I've seen lots of bags mounted in the ceiling or on a stand too close to a wall and that limits your mobility when working the bag.

I checked out the Ringside site you mentioned and you don't think a 150 lb. bag is big enough for your needs???? It's a nice leather bag, but if this is just for yourself in a garage set-up, you don't really need that, you just want that. A 100 lb.canvas bag will work you to death if done right and it costs a hell of a lot less.

 

I've never hit a ringside bag, but they're apparently very good. We have plenty of Cleto Reyes bags at the gym, very heavy but very tough on the hands.

If you think the heaviest bags that you're looking to buy aren't heavy enough, you aren't hitting the bag correctly.

 

Best way to get a bag that doesn't move is to anchor it to the floor.

 

Or with Elastic to the back foot

 

I believe Everlast makes a 200 lb bag..

 

if you are hitting the bag correctly, no matter what size it is it will hardly move

 

Be careful what you wish for.

I'm not saying you don't know how to throw a punch, just suggesting you may not be hitting the bag correctly.

 

didn't tyson used to train on one of those?

If you can move a 500lb bag, imagine what you can do to mere humans. :scaredas:

 

just hang it lower
