Too bad you arent closer. A friend of mine has a bag from Golds Gym that he wants to sell. Would cost a fortune to ship it. Damn thing must weigh 100+ lbs.

Marker hit the nail right on the head....Form, Form,Form, Form. Sounds simple enough or obvious, but for most people it isnt. Your best workout, your best muscle work, your skill level, your condiitoning, your footwork, any injuries you may get-----all start with good form. 80lb or 100 lb I would say, its up to you. Everlast stuff is still the best IMO, unless your actually getting in the ring with someone and are looking for Grant or another brand of "punchers" gloves. Bag gloves would be fine, and I too recommnend wraps-----or at least good form, lol. You would be fine with regular ring gloves if you wanted as well, 10 oz or 12 oz....hell you could even use 14 if you want the extra padding. I would start with 1 minute or 2 minute rounds, focusing on form and using both hands. By the 5th one, you'll be half dead, lol. Also, make sure you dont need your hands too much for the first few times you hit the bag. Theyll be bruised and muscles constricted in ways you havent seen before----so make sure you dont have a big piano recidtal that night or anything;). Get the sparring gear while your at it. D@mn you Rob, i gotta get a new bag now. I stopped sparring with guys about 2yrs ago and Ive been without a bag for about 5 months (my own fault due to weather) and I forgot how much I missing boxing.

thanks Rob... great tips... i've been all over youtube looking at different training vids and whatnot. I got the bag set up last week and it's perfect for me. I can see wanting new gloves in the very near future as these feel pretty stiff and cheaply made... I'll mess around with it for a bit and see how it goes... from a workout standpoint, I love it... I'm covered in sweat after just a few minutes and i feel at peace when I take the gloves off... amazing anger management tool
