I had an exercise mat in the house. I rolled it up, put duct tape around it and have been using it as a heavy bag. I put it on top of a stool in the corner of a room.
You don’t get to do the footwork as with a hanging bag but for just throwing punches it’s great. It’s also softer than a heavy bag so I don’t even need to wrap my hands.
Easily the best idea I’ve come up with. I did a lot of boxing training back in the day but my hands are better than ever.

they used to sell plans in the old ironman mags how to build equipment.

Seems like a way to be frugal and not buy something significantly better that costs more. If saving money is more important than having good equipment then this makes sense. This is like duct taping your bumper back on your car after it falls off after getting rear ended instead of paying a body shop.
I live in an apartment and it’s not practical to get a hanging bag. It’s more a matter of making the best with what you have.

Fair enough. I recommend resistance bands. They don't take up room and they work well.
-
Bands / TRX are great for space challenged areas.
An 80lb sand bag can wreck you though.

ab rollers/ core wheels are great.

I empathize with the NYC space struggle, but even if it was about being frugal, why would anyone view that as a negative?

What are you Rocky with a pillow duct taped to a door? Buy a fucking 80$ punching bag and some gloves you cheap Bastard. That is not great for training that is dogshit

Get a fucking floor standing bag then or join a fucking gym again pillow on stool is ghetto as hell. You going to bring a date to an apartment and show her your pillow in the corner you pretend to box with??? That is not workout equipment that is a child playing pretend

I'm pretty sure the point of the mat is that it can be put away out of site when a visitor is over or he's not using it. What does "a child playing pretend" even mean in regards to working out? Working out is essentially simulating practical activities. If you can get a workout with it, it's workout equipment. Weird thing to get so heated about.
-
I actually think there's a lower price point market for this for people who want to punch but not deal with hanging a heavy object or spend for free standing bag which I think is quite a bit more. Any pics of the completed version?

It’s essentially this. What bhank is talking about, a standing bag, is very bulky. I can just toss this into a closet.

You can't get a workout punching a pillow thats fucking nonsense that is what 12 year olds do to pretend they are boxing it doesn't work for shit

Bhanks > Mike Tyson

One improvement I'd offer to any of these is to duct tape a piece of cardboard at about mouth level to bite on while pummeling it. Maybe another 87 cents

No but I had an 80lbs heavybag hanging in my garage as a teenager meanwhile this grown man is punching a rolled up pillow

A grown man doesn’t seem to be able to tell the difference between a rolled up exercise mat and a fucking pillow.
What do you give a fuck anyway. Just worry about putting on your panties and get on stage.
-
Don’t mess with bhanks.
He takes his training very seriously.
-
Not homemade but endless movements.
-
Meanwhile Hardcore boxing training at Thin Lizzies

The key is to wrap it around the door frame so there is something solid behind it to hit. You don't just hit a fucking 2lb yoga mat on a stool and lean it against a corner its going to go flying across the damn room the first time you hit it.
Why can't you put up a speed bag they take up no space and would be 1000X more beneficial than hitting a pillow propped up in a corner

You are awesome, bro.

Yes, he’s just so impressive on every level😂😂😂

All I am saying is you are kidding yourself if you think hitting a pillow leaning against the corner of your studio apartment is boxing training. You are a grown adult you really should know better join a fucking gym if you can't get any real equipment.

Bhanks, your triceps need serious work. No joke.

Do you even lift because so far we have no evidence you train at all

He still won’t post a front lat spread because he knows it will expose his flaws. :D

See the response by Grape Ape.
You still have not posted a front lat spread. I see you’re avoiding that pose.

bhanks did a lat-spread once but leonard nimoy called to inquire if he can do a show about them.

I`ve seen his pics,he`s a big dude....you haven`t been here long enough to use the word "we" in this case.

I ain't giving him credit for shit I have seen no evidence he even trains. Lots of people are born big dudes that doesn't mean they are muscularly developed with low bodyfat and know anything about training. And you don't surf you fucking Kook

I know muscle when I see it .
Just because you never saw his pics,doesn`t mean that he doesn`t train.
You act like you are the only one here who works out.

BhANKS - its like pulling teeth brother - think about it, most dudes who are into bodybuilding aren't bodybuilders
they are smart, whitty, usually condescending, entertaining, and alpha af like we all appreciate
but they are not the type of dudes who like to take pics of themselves, hold themselves in high regard , or seek approval from others - they will never post a pic, I did this for years expecting this board to have a level of expertise but it DOES NOT lie in a man vanity , its his intellect and heart
I appreciate a board that has more depth than a muscle shot - hell most of the really big dudes I ever knew weren't the best guys to talk to on a reg basis - don't expect most of these guys to be beasts in real life , they do that in other ways
-

It has nothing to do with approval it has to do with actually having credentials. All these dumb fucks have no idea what they are talking about and their lactating tits prove it. Isn't everyone else tired of listening to these so called experts who don't train. There is nothing Alpha or intellectual or expert or beast about being a fat sack of shit pretending to know something about training and nutrition because you read it somewhere written in an advertisement pretending to be an article written by another fat sack of shit given a stamp of approval by a paid lying endorser.

By all means post up your lat spread then don't call others to do what you can't

Was an ex perma-bulker who dropped a lot of weight but kept the size, in the arms especially.

How can we tell the difference between legal steroids and bio-identical hormones? Are both allowed prior to the next Mr Getbig contest?

If you don`t like the board,get lost.....tired of you calling people out for pics and belitlling everyone......who the fuck besides yourself takes tons of pics daily?
You are a constant attention whore who needs people to tell you that you look insanely awesome when you honestly need to do a shitload of work to balance out your very aesymmetrical torn up lopsided physique.
You`re a kunt of the highest order who thinks he`s all that but actually isn`t much except in your own egotistical little mind.
You`re lean,that`s it..........tons of weak areas and torn bodyparts that nothing will ever correct.
Work on a building better attitude and less on pumping up your own ego....no one owes you a photo to prove they train.

I’m also not the one begging for attention about my physique and posting pic after pic. You are. Therefore, I am under no way obligated to post a pic because I have not made any claims about my physique.
Hope this helps.

No one said you have to post mandatories in your thong but something that indicates you actually lift. I can tell someones size and development or lack just by seeing their forearm it doesn't take much.

It's not about appeasing me it is about accountability put your physique behind your bullshit. Reading and studying theory doesn't mean a fucking thing in training and nutrition without application and results. If you are not in shape then fuck no you don't know what the fuck you are talking about and are just bullshitting everyone spreading the same lies and nonsense we have all heard 1000 times. 10 fat fucks saying the same bullshit doesn't make it true. You reading it doesn't make it true. If you have not applied it yourself and achieved results then it doesn't mean a fucking thing. I don't care how many phd some dumb fuck has if they are not in shape they don't know what the fuck they are talking about.

True you don't have to be accountable but if you are not then no one has to respond and consider your bullshit. If you can't post some kind of evidence of training then you are just another want to be troll talking out your ass. Smart educated people who read can tell the difference between an article with supporting references by qualified individuals and made up bullshit. You think I can't tell who does and doesn't train after a few exchanges. Fcukers talking about living on brussel sprouts and rice and claiming to be 300lbs of muscle bullshit. I tell what I actually currently do and I post the actual current results and supporting facts vs just regurgitating nonsense I read somewhere while pretending to be some kind of expert. You need to actually train for 20 years if you do that you are going to be in mad shape regardless of weight and you can eat actual food and do that. That is what people need to learn vs thinking they can eat some fad starvation diet and follow some bullshit training program they read somewhere. You get in shape from decades of training that is why I am in shape. Meanwhile these dumb fat fucks who don't even eat because they don't have any muscle or metabolism want to tell me what I am doing wrong lol gtfo
