Heavy bag? what's the point?

[deny]

when you hit a sparring partner/ pads or shadow box,
the resistant your punch get will be less than working the heavy bag.
this helps you build up your punching power.
and
on the heavy bag you can do certain drills
like 30sec drill (you give it all you got with speed and power in 30 sec and then rest 30 and start again)
your sparring partner would not like to be used as a "punching bag" in this drill and other exercises you do on the bag. (imagine switching turns and you get to be the bag)

hope this helps

Hey, was wondering, why use a heavy bag at all?... Or am I misising something blindingly obvious?

Yeah whats the point in training dude.

You make a stupid question you get a stupid answer.

this isn't a stupid Q, but he could use different words to ask the Q
like: "what is the advantage of training on the heavy bag"
this would give less negative A's
