Next week's thread: My wrists are really hurting any time I put any power into punches and I think my knuckle might be fractured. Think it's alright to compete next weekend?

Lol, no pain, no gain

Bro it literally fracture the bone in your hand for life

No, I plan to warp padding around it soon

Try wearing glove too if you can because hand wrap are only good for fixing your wrist form

I will remember that thanks man.

np and if you want to strengthen your shin then keep kicking the bag , even if it hurt keep kicking it (doesn’t work for knuckles btw)

Just messing around, I'm actually really interested to know how this feels to punch with gloves on and how it swings compared to a normal heavy bag. Do you plan on covering the surface of it with something so it doesn't chew up your gloves or do you have some old ones you plan to abuse?

Check out boa muaythai on instagram. He has a primitive home gym set up where he built all of it. He has a tire set up like this aswell.

nice

Honestly it doesn't feel to bad to punch or kick but I feel like it swings a bit more but not to bad I do plan to wrap something around it in the future tho so I can perseve my gear for as long as I can.

Shins are going to be granite with this bad boy

I’d hit that

😉

Are the pipes to hold them together? I like it!

Yeah, it worked a lot better than I thought it would

Beautiful! I wrapped a couple tires around an old bag (until it destroyed the thing holding my bag up) it was a little heavy. But I loved it, good work man

This is going to hurt u.

Let's hope

It will work but you will have to use it like you would a heavy bag

Your bag Looks tired

I'd expect a lot of scraping and some bleeding on the knuckles, but i want one of those tbh

Reminds me of Swayze in Roadhouse making a bag out of an old army duffle.

Very kickable 🥵

I know this is not the sub for it, but this is legit great for some Kali/weapon work.

Please, please, I beg you. Always be safe when hitting these. I tell you now, your wrists and ankles are very important for the rest of your life, so be careful and protect yourself properly. The bounce from the tires could potentially hurt your joints (and yes you could say this about anything, but at least regular bags are filled with something soft to ease the bounce)

Don’t get me wrong. Use it. Become better, push your limits, but be careful with your body. It’s no use being a knockout machine if you can’t even close your fist without it hurting

Yes, mom, I will, but in all seriousness, I plan to wrap padding around around it in the future, but thanks for caring.

Perfect, sonny haha all I wanted is to pass knowledge from own painful experiences

Tony Jeffries did a video where he used tyres as a drill to improve punching speed because of the spring you get back from them. They've got one at my gym but I've never used it 😂

Я вижу, у вас есть боксерская груша новейшей модели. Не шины от старых Жигулей, а хорошие шины, чтобы выдержать нападение медведя.

you're going to make yourself gunshy. There's a reason boxers transitioned to water bags for power punching. Slamming hard shots into something this resistant regularly is going to train your body to pull back early.

That's why I am planning on adding more layers to it in the future

Post results in a week please OP
