Got my heavy bag hung in my apartment

[IronFist]

I used an Everlast wood beam ceiling mount. It mounts a holder to a stud in the ceiling. It comes with 2 2" lag screws to mount it into the ceiling with, but I replaced them with 3" lag screws. Right now the chain a little long, but I can fix that later.

I have a question tho. I bought a 70lb Everlast nylon bag and one side of it is hard as hell. I almost broke my shin kicking it. The rest of the bag is nice, tho. Is there any way to fix this?

And yes, I'm going to take it down when it's not in use.

The mount.

Those other holes are from other things. I'm gonna patch them up soon.

Yes...
Kick it out. It will make your shins hard as hell in turn.
Buy some good jow to get rid of the bruises.

... Or work them out with a baseball bat. When my shins hurt too bad from working the shin kicks on the bag, I use a heavy steel pipe to beat out the hard parts and continue working out.

Jeez, it would suck to be your upstairs neighbour!

Actually, it wouldn't. You could probably only do about 20 seconds a day before you got too winded to carry on.

You barely notice it right in the middle of the passage through the room . Nice, though. Gives you an excuse to hit it every time you walk past.

Or you could just open a window

What I want to know is how the hell do I get bugs in my apartment on the 3rd floor???

[Starchaser107]

u sure that thing is gonna hold it ?

[IronFist]

It should. Obviously it needs to be in a stud. I mean Everlast sells that mount with an 80lb bag as a package, so my 70lb bag should be fine. Plus, I replaced the 2" lag screws with 3" ones, so it should hold.

Knock on wood.

You hung it in dry wall and not in a stud?
Joo are won cahrazeee dood.
