How heavy is YOUR heavy bag???

LOL!:smiley:

Help me.

quiet down. i can’t concentrate on my form with you screaming.

I mean, honestly, how am I ever supposed to improve with, “oh dear god, why have you forsaken me?!!” going on in the background?

struth, it’s getting bad enough now that your pleas are drowning out my tape of ‘eye of the tiger.’

Actually not. You see metal saw dust is very dense, and even with 420 pounds, I still don’t have enough to fill a standard everlast bag. It’s going to take at least the full 550 pounds just to top it off. I may stop collecting it now, and mix some sand in it to top it off. These little bags are da.mm heavy!!! I almost can’t picture all that weight in one single bag!!
:smiley:

Umm…40 kilos. Don’t know what that is in lbs…?

Either way, too **** heavy.

I disagree with everybody who said not to hit it. Don’t listen to them.
I think you should work up to it with your shins and fists and then go nuts! I would be afraid of anybody that could make something like that swing! In fact I wish I had something that heavy to hit, that would really train my sidekick!!

Props to you and your Super Bag!!

I’ve got all the members of Morbid Angel and Cannibal Corpse in my bag, jamming together. You can’t get heavier than that.

it would probably be the equivalent of hitting a tree, which as we know is not good. I bet you would fear tyson or any other powerful pro boxer hitting you, right? How about a pro thai boxer? They don’t need a 550 lb bag to develop that power - it’s overkill.

George Forman is famous for hiting 500 pound sides of beef daily. it didn’t hurt him none.

Also, even though it is looking like it willl be harder than “I” originally though, it is still softer (by ALOT) than a tree. remeber, what we are talking about here is just heavy dust, not a solid metal cylinder. Plus it will swing, a tree just sit there and does not give at all.

It is going to have the consistancy of sand really.

Besides, if it’s too hard, I’m wrapping a piece of wrestling mat around it to ease it up on the ol’ knuckels. The object is to learn to issue major force, not break my hand up.

I think it would be cool to be able to hit a guy Seven Star’s size and move them with a singe punch to the sternum. Any thought’s on that?

Yeah. If you hit a guy Seven*'s size, put your running shoes on first.

Forget about hitting it ! How are ya gonna hang the d@mn thing?

LOL on the running shoes thing!!!

As for hanging it, I’m gong to use a “Come along” to get it up. I’m more worried about the bag splitting open when I hit it to hard.:eek:

My bag is now about 12 lbs. A little heavier than I would like, but I’ll just give it some time. :slight_smile:

UPDATE!!!

Hey guys, I now have 450 pounds of metal saw dust collected!!!

Based on my rough calculations, it will just fill a 14 X 48 Everlast heavy bag :smiley:

it looks like I will not get the full 600 pounds I was looking for, but then again, How would I hang it?

At 450, I can use a come along to hoist the bag into position.

The big Leather Everlast bag is about $150, so i’m going to get 2 of them. the first will hold the Metal Saw dust, and the second will go around it. I will adjust the outer bag so it gives support to the inner and take some weight off of the straps.

You’re a nutcase!
