Boxing

[Hitman]

So I use to do alot of boxing and I couldnt tell you how many fights I have been in growing up lol so i decided on getting back into it and start working out alot.. but anyways.... I decided on getting a Heavy boxing stand and a advance training set bag today at Dicks Sporting Goods spent a good $2xx on stand and bag. I didint buy the speed bag today but im going back and getting it once I put the rest of the stand together. anyways main question for this thread is How in the hell do I get the screws to go tighter? You can tighten it so far with your hands but it is still loose, and once I get the wrench out to tighten it wont go anywhere. any help would be nice. I know Andrew Watts works there so I need your imput on how you all got them so tight there :lol2: or UNO because I know you use this type of eqp.

sounds good to me homie just whenever you want to come over

they had this stand on sale at dicks for $190 has speedbag rack to setup on the other side. I payed $80? for the bag..But i felt like this was a good investment and when I need to beat the shit out of something I can

[TiAgZ4Mc]

^exactly my thoughts. Usually when i'm pissed, I just pound the shit out of my bed cause the rents wouldn't take to holes in the wall too well. Shit, I'll get watts to give me more discount...

U can come workout at the house whenever. I've got over 320lbs of free weights.

[Hitman]

yeah I wish he was there today I could have got a discount :'( but I did get $15 gloves at hibbets because my cousins bf works there lol so i can hook you up with some of those.

and sounds good! I dont want to pay a gym membership anywhere, I just need somewhere to start lifting and I can run at the blountville track or around the neighborhood.

two wrenches should be able to do it. If they don't and they're that tough to tighten, idk what to tell ya.
But yea dude. I lift every weekday and rest on weekend. I just ride the eliptical bike we have down there to stay in shape.

[Hitman]

thats what I was thinking, it is tough to tighten. I might have to get dad to tighten it if I cant get it

I need a workout buddy though,we can start hitting the bag and lifting when we can. You know you are more than welcome to come over at anytime bro

[TiAgZ4Mc]

Ight well days that i'm free and not studying some bullshit or writing some damn paper, i'll come over.

[Hitman]

Hey nice purchase. I have the same setup. I just took 2 wrenches , put one on the backside of the nut and let it brace against the floor as I turned the other end ( the bolt )

[Hitman]

Thats my warmup..............

[Hitman]

well got the bag on, about lost a finger in the progress lol!
So I had noone around to help me put it up, and I had the chain wrapped up on top to make it hang higher up, well I couldnt get 2 chains on the hook so I pulled my chair over there and set the bag on it...so I set there and struggled with it for abit then I just started getting pissed so I picked the bag up with one arm threw it up in the air and tried to chain it....well I had my finger in the chain while I was doing this and of course I make it in the loop... My finger is hanging in it...the chair went out from under the bag... so my finger is turning black and noone was around to pick the bag up so I threw the bag up in the air and slung my hand out and now my finger is dented in. ouchhh

anyways thought id share my story on the struggle with hooking it and if anyone gets a bag becareful and make sure someone is around lol!

and I got to bolts tightend now, thanks uno for your help sir :thumbs:

now all I have left to put on is the speed bag that sould be fun putting together

okay uno have a question on Cardio,
Ive never used one of the belts before and want to know how well they work and what they will do for me. such as tone,build abs while working out, etc...

[TiAgZ4Mc]

Hmm...sounds gimicky to me..but hey, it's made by everlast, surely it does something. Idk bout building abs though. I'm thinking it looks more like a mold to where if you are working abs it'll make em look symmetrical and have "the look" if that makes any sense.

[Hitman]

yeah im not sure about it either, I seen some training video awhile back and it was Marines using them and they were in a damnnn good shape used them boxing, and working out it looked like

[TiAgZ4Mc]

Yea, but I'm sure they do intense ab/core workouts too, I'd say the belt does nothing on its own but it is meant to supplement or add to when you do workout. It's not that expensive. You should try it lol. If it does wonders i'll get me one. Til then I'll stick to my 250 situps and leg lifts. It almost reminds me of the infomercials that had those belts that sent electric pulses thru your abs and was supposed to make you get abs. Tylers dad had one and it felt like it was tickling you lmao.

[Hitman]

yeah, I mean when you are hitting the bag and moving around you feel the burn in your lower abs,well just abs in general. Thats why i was thinking this belt might help some...slim down some more with it while hitting the bag and tone some. Thought it might be a good little cheap investment lol
ill get it and you get the animal pak and see how we are doing from there lol

LMAO funny you mentioned that, I just got done reading a article on that
I forgot who it was that had one but I put one on and it tickled me too!

[rkphotography2008]

You should have gottan a Body Opponent Bag (B.O.B) i have one. they are great. very realistic too. but i couldnt tell you how to get the screws in further. best of luck though.
