Balazs Heavy Bag Selector Chart
The right equipment makes any job easier and more fun. Choosing the right heavy bag will allow you to workout worry free and achieve maximum results. Use the following guidelines and the Selector Chart above to choose the right bag for you.
WEIGHT
Rule of Thumb: Choose a heavy bag that weighs 50% of your body weight.
Exceptions:
- If you are "in-shape," add another 25%-100% to the weight of the bag.
- If you are totally out of shape: Subtract 25% from the weight of the bag.
BAG COVER MATERIAL
Rule of Thumb: Choose the most durable cover material your budget can support.
BAG FILLER
Rule of Thumb: Choose filler based on your physical needs. Bags filled with rag material are the most common style of bag. Water filled bags using rubber bladders and foam lining are less jarring on fists, wrists, elbows and shoulders.
