Hello. I just joined here because I have a question. I recently got a heavy bag and have been using it as a cardio workout lately. After I am done I always have red blotches on my hands, mostly in between my fingers, they look like I am bleeding under the skin. I use 14oz training gloves and I wrap my hands. Is this normal?

Yes! Very normal. Nothing to worry about. Soon your knuckles will turn a darker red coolr and will stay that way for awhile.

It means your bruising your knuckles which means you are also making them stronger.

One of the important aspects of hitting the punching bag!

I would like to thank you all in advance for your help, you all do a great job at making boxing the best sport!

Now to my question: What's the purpouse of buying different wieghted bag? Why should I spend $50 dollars more on a 135lbs bag rather then just buy a 60lbs or 80lbs bag, are there advantages with different wieghts?

When I bought my heavybag, the salesman had told me to buy a bag that was half of my body weight as a rule of thumb. I bought a bag that was half of my body weight, and it's worked so much better than the seventy pound bag. So I guess it depends on how big you are. Although somebody might have different information than I do.

Can i say thanks for a great guide and tips on this thread. As i recently started boxing and did my first injury to my right wrist. Tendons and ligaments. I pounded the bags. Which i know no is a mistake.
