Actually i wouldn't be against taking a day off of the bag occasionally.

Depending on what type of bag you have you can still feel a bit of an impact on your own body when you hit it. When my back was playing up bag work was torture for me.

I think that is even more applicable to situations where your technique isn't perfect either due to experience or already having a few tight points etc upset your ability to move.

Do you feel like you get soreness after doing bag work?

With any type of training I'd try to rate how long it takes for you to recover and do other types of training or have a day off in between.

Youngblood would be well conditioned by now and is young enough to have relatively few old injuries hopefully.

However the rest of us may need to judge it by how we're feeling and make up our individual programs based on that. Possibly we'd start with three heavy bag sessions a week and then build up maybe.

Why don't you put one together and record it here for a week with how you feel the next day etc and then you might get some more feedback?

Any information about you can include about your experience and what sort of stuff you've already been doing might help too.
