I know from experience how frustrating a heavy bag chain or broken punching bag stand can be. You were probably in the middle of a workout when it happened, which means you get interrupted and either have to fix it or buy something new. Here are some hints and tips you can use when dealing with a broken heavy bag chain or punching bag holder.
One of the steps you can take to help prevent your punching bag bracket or chain from breaking is to make sure you buy a chain that is strong enough to start with. A bag might weigh 60 or 80 pounds, but you’re not just holding the bag. You’re also taking all the force you’re generating from the repetitive hitting of the bag, which is pretty substantial. You want chains that can handle loads or forces of at least 1,000 pounds.
The hooks you use should also be strong and durable. A strong chain with a hook that will snap in half with any significant pressure won’t do anyone any good. Again, buy materials that are heavier than the weight alone would imply a need.
Also, make sure you don’t rough up or mishandle the punching bag stand or the bag itself. Don’t be foolish and try to hang on the bag or climb it. If you don’t have a long, skinny punching bag, keep using your hands. Simply treating your equipment with more respect will help prevent it from breaking down in the future.
Of course, you can always choose to use a separate heavy bag. A free-standing heavy bag will usually have a base filled with sand or water to hold it in place. In addition to not having to worry about a broken chain or punching bag stand, you can also move the bag from one location to another.
Many models are also adjustable, and some, like the Century Bob bag, are also shaped and proportioned to a person, providing a useful and unique lens. In addition, a free-standing heavy bag also eliminates the noise and vibrations generated by a classic hanging bag or punching bag stand.
Dealing with a broken heavy bag chain or punching bag holder will always be a hassle. Follow some of the tips here to prevent the problem from occurring, or consider purchasing a separate heavy bag to use, which eliminates that problem and provides many other benefits as well.
