unsubstantiated nonsense Hitting the bag with technique doesn’t constitute “sub concussive blow” If that was the case Wouldn’t there be widespread cases of people with cte like symptoms walking around Wouldn’t there be multiple scientific per reviewed journal Warning people of the dangers of “hitting the heavy bag” All of this is just irrational neurosis and extreme paranoia

Great video. I am hitting a 160 lb heavy bag that feels like a wall and felt the same daze and haze. Going to stop hitting so hard this time. Hooks don't create the trauma as much as 1-2 combos.

Hi nice review. Main issue with Bob is that the base moves during exercises. What would you recommend to prevent it from moving. I filled the base with water and I am hesitant to put sand. Thanks

BOB LIVES!!!!😀

friendly faer

Is the base empty or have you it filled?

I thought Bob had come alive and grown legs.

Correct punching technique can be described as delivering your punching force via "shoulder pop". I can see that technique when you're hitting the heavy bag. I can hear it, too. To really achieve power the punch force starts in the pelvis (via turning) then the shoulders I have discovered. No "wind-up" is necessary to achieve speed and tons of force. It's a great feeling. Once experienced you'll know it. Punching will be fun, and you can punch hard continuously and quickly without labor. Your head will not be affected at all. The impact of your punches will make a snapping noise (not a thud) when you hit the heavy bag. I discovered how to do this on my own quite by accident and then developed the technique. I don't box. I used to spar in my 20's at a boxing gym but stopped when I kept getting concussions, headaches, and slurred speech. Those symptoms healed after a few months of not getting punched in the head. Now I'm 70. I can now hit much harder and faster than I could then due to proper technique. No more sparring, however! Good luck.

BOB doesn't hit back ...

Thank you so much for this. I’ve been thinking about this for a while and now I see it’s a thing. I discovered how my reflex bag was impacting my head. I was able to feel the impact of the reflex bag when I already had a headache and started punching it. While my head is already hurting, each jab I throw hurts like hell. That shows me that even that small bag has been impacting my brain, so now I will only throw light touch-sparring type punches to it. I care about longevity.

good point, well explained thanks =)

For $400+ he should be a 10/10

Great, I needed this video, thanks man!

Great Work !!! Take a Bow. You Deserve It !! Thank You !!!

My latest video is a profoundly different adventure that takes me from the gym to the inner and outer reaches of the Cosmos. "I Rode a Filament to the Heart of the Universe": th-cam.com/video/n2FCW1Wali8/w-d-xo.html

Here's we go

Hi folks, This video is quite different than the other content on this channel. To check out my other, newer channel, which includes similar odd adventures, you can do so here: www.youtube.com/@fantasticvideoproductions/

So, will you be uploading ever again?

Hi, Most the times I hit bags I don't feel anything but there have been times where I have had a slight headache, especially with straight jabs or crosses. I have since stopped hitting the bag as often, am I at risk of long term trauma later in my life? Or is that unlikely. Are there things you suggest to help with healing or further prevention

you're a legend, excellent work I have to try this when my bob arrives!

Did Floyd count the punches out loud like this?

Just got one for Xmas. Thank you

This may be common to a lot of people, but not something I've ever experienced (decades of heavy bag). I did need to cool my jets though for a year or two and not hit hard with my jab, I was starting to get shoulder issues and could feel my forearm 'assembly' splintering. I rarely hit the bag hard anymore, just once in awhile, I don't feel like I need to hit it hard to know how hard I can hit, once that technique is honed to perfection, it's like tennis or many other sports, once we have that stroke down, there is no point in destroying our structure. There are loads of other exercises available to keep punch specific muscles in good shape, I try to rely on them. I think I and everyone else would do well to have a water punching bag or some really soft heavy bags to really go at it on, where there is very little 'blowback'.

Excellent infomation!

I think is too soft nad moves too much ... I think after seeing this the Box Master with 12 focus mits or the Aqua training bags are much better than this one... I was about to buy one, but it seems to move around too much and be too soft at impact for getting a real training workout session... The Aqua Bag is also cheaper than Bob and the Boxing Master 12 miits device.. but the Boxing Master seem to be really stable and give a serious workout....

Why are all fit fighters bald. Wow.

Good advice best just don't hit the heavy bag to hard most. of the time at the boxing gym I'm getting a bob for home

These things are garbage. You have to cut your own hole in the mouth like wtf

I'm 64 years old and I use heavy bag every morning for 20 minutes with 12oz gloves

After I really learned how to hit hard and pit a lot of weight into my punches this started happening to me. You have to pull your punches and make it more about speed and technique. People that don't understand how this could rattle your brain don't understand how put a lot of weight into their punches.

Very nice. I need to get some sand. Mine was everywhere

2:21 Starting point

Ive wondered if the impact from burpees is also causing damage

i think the brain does move around in the skull when you hit a heavy bag for sure. i used to play basketball a lot and i thought about this. an average hard jab (on the heavy bag) impact on the brain is probably comparable to landing from a jumpshot. just from an observation, i don't see many CTEs in old basketball players. if you say 10 is the higest brain impact and 0 is the lowest. swimming is probably 0-1, running is probably 1-2, basketball 2-3. punching heavybag is probably a solid 3 to be honest. straght up MMA, boxing fights, american gootballs are probably 8-10. as for the threshold when it starts to lead to CTE, i really don't know. but it really starts to slightly concern me too. but overall i think i might start to hit less heavy bags and start doing more calestatics and running and lifting more instead. the knuckles do get stronger but the brains don't lol.

Great review! Thank you. You tend to shrug your shoulder everytime before you jab FYI.

Word to the wise. Very hard after a shoulder day 😂 you’re a beast man

Mich?

Can you please never take your shirt of again. Thanks for that.

Love your BOB workouts.

Cracking video. Subscribed.

Cobra reflex stick bags and aqua bag weren’t around 30 years ago.

Another big selling point for me is that I don't want to hang a bag in my house

Can you fill the bottom of bob with sand for more weight? That could help with bob moving around too much through rounds.

To limit movement,put a layer of gorilla tape on the bottom of the base,straight across everytime,seal around bottom edge. wrap around twice.Never will come loose.any surface.

If you feel concerned about brain related injuries when punching heavy bag, i think it's better to stop it regardless if it's indeed harmful or not. You don't train to win a boxing match nor earn money from improving your skills in heavy bag workouts and you are anxious about your brain that it might get injuries, Besides is there a record of someone acquired brain related injuries just from punching heavy bag alone? None!.

thanks you, noticed my head hurting and desited to look up why or how to stop it thank you
