if you decide to buy the basic stand then i suggest that you put more weights on the bottom to prevent it from moving all round when your punching the heavy bag.

for me the ideal bag is something heavy that doesnt move around wildly when punched. for a 6' tall 220lbs guy the best heavy bag weight is 130lbs.

and lastly buy handwraps that is atleast 180" long learn to wrap your hands correctly and buy a 12oz heavy bag glove.



i have a heavy bag at home too, i use it mainly for fitness not actual boxing. my DIY bag weighs 120lbs its made of thick canvass with scrap fabric filling. i had the bag made by a tailor then filled it with ripped old clothes and sand bags. the bag cost me just 30usd!
