Misc Boxing Crew - heavy bag stand any good for home workouts?

Cant drill in anywhere and have it hanging from a bracket or ceiling. Any experiences hanging a 120lbs from a heavy bag stand frame?

I think I have to use a few plates to weigh it down?

the frame stands are ass really but yeah if you have to use one you’re going to have to put a lot of plates on the back to try and keep it at least a little stationary

Just make sure you hit the floor joist and you can hang any bag you want. Don't get the ones on stands... they suck!

Frame stands are not ideal, but I understand not wanting to hang a bag in your home. The amount of pounding a good heavy bag takes will put damage to the beams in your house. (Ask me how I know...lol)

Everlast makes a good heavy-bag stand. Yes, you will probably need to put some weights on the pegs to keep it a bit more stable.

It's a heavy bag, there's going to be noise with every punch.

As for weights, it depends how much weight and how heavy you hit. If you are a bigger stronger guy, you may need more weight to keep it stable.

You should be fine for home workouts. If you are looking for a real workout you need to be a boxing gym with a coach watching you. Working a heavy bag by yourself is a sure fire way cement bad habits into your punching form. I'm guessing you are somewhat of a beginner. In which case, I recommend shadow boxing and being very mindful of technique more than working the bag.

I have the everlast bag on a stand. Not ideal, can’t move around the bag or use quarter turns and angles like you’d want to. But it’s better than nothing and you can still get good practice with it.

Yea you’ll need some weights to put on the stand so it doesn’t move.

Join a boxing gym 2. do countless of hours shadow boxing techniques under the supervision of a coach 3. Practice your techniques in sparring. 4. Learn from your mistakes and practice them while shadowing/doing drill again 5. rinse repeat.

Anything else is additional

Get one of these & fill it with sand


After a few years of training you will still suck and be terrible in striking/ fighting since you don't want to join a legit gym,
but this way you can atleast improve your cardio.

The best way to learn on your own is to use a mirror & avoid combinations
The worst way to learn on your own is to not use a mirror & use combinations.
Focus on single strikes only & perfect every technique before you teach yourself bad habits through combinations.

Don't even bother unless it is hanging properly. The stand makes it very limited in terms of movement and footwork. Might as well shadow box in between sets...
