Century BOB Freestanding Punch Bag Height Adjustable 60-78 inches

Product Information

If you’re trying to work on power, Zanker recommends using a heavy bag, like Outslayer's 100-Pound Punching Bag. She notes that lighter bags are better for movement training, and that you should take into consideration what you’re trying to achieve to determine the ideal weight of your bag. The Bob Dummy is a fantastic bit of training equipment. It’s easy to put together and very durable and long-lasting. You’d have to seriously abuse it to make much of a dent. This is a super bit of boxing equipment that you can bring into your home gym with a minimum of fuss. The price has come right down in recent years and they’re a pretty good bargain at the moment. It’s really easy to remove the top part of the Bob Dummy. If you’re planning on keeping the bottom bit outdoors, bring your Bob body inside. I don’t think it would take too well to the British Winter. Stuff I don’t like

You can practice effective hooks, elbow strikes, and specifically aiming for the jawline or temple areas for maximum damage. Customers have told that Bob requires to be dealt with as carefully as possible. Round nuts attaching the base to the body can become loose if using improperly. You can practice uppercuts well with dummies besides the basic punches such as jabs, crosses, and hooks. It feels exactly the same even if you strike the same spot hundreds of times over, it keeps its form and doesn’t become denser at the base like a heavy bag often does.

Century Body Opponent Bag (BOB)

A punching bag half your weight or heavier is recommended to improve your punching power. It provides enough resistance but also offers enough swing for other boxing techniques. A heavy bag has a firm material, usually made from leather which is tough. And as the filling inside the heavy bag becomes denser near the bottom, it makes it a good conditioning area for your shins. There are also some improvements to the aesthetics of the design in the Bob XL, which make him look a bit more realistic and muscular. Those were probably all cool features. If we discard advertising and beautiful promises, we should then talk about the cons.

At the bast of the unit is a small screw off cap which you remove when you want to fill it up. I mean this isn’t a huge issue if you’re going to fill it with water, but my brother and I had an awful (and messy!) time trying to fill one of these with sand at one time. And a lot of people will want to use sand. It doesn’t swish around like water does and offers a more stable workout. This little hole will be your bane if you choose to fill BOB with sand! Which leads me to… water! Freestanding bags are extremely popular for home fitness setups, primarily because they don’t require you to do any drilling. Instead, you simply place one where you like and fill the empty base with sand or water. That’s a blessing for renters who don’t want to enrage their landlords by leaving holes in the walls or ceiling. And because they aren’t fixed in place, they can be moved around with relative ease. These bags don’t offer as much resistance to strikes as heavy bags, however. Even if a base is filled to the brim it might slide around if you hit it hard enough. Should I buy a hanging bag instead? Martial arts and boxing techniques use balance and reaction time, which can be improved through this workout.

How does the Century Bob Dummy arrive?

WHY CHOOSE BOB? BOB is covered with a vinyl "skin" and can be used with or without gloves The inner cavity is filled with high-density urethane foam A poorly filled bag can result in uneven hitting surfaces. The filler can sink to the bottom, for instance. There was also an even more feature-rich Slam man. This was a real robot for training with all kinds of flashing lights and whistles built into it for training your reflexes and reaction. Moreover, several programs for training had been programmed in it. But despite its robotic features, Slam man turned out to be uncompetitive. It’s important to note that each category of punching bag can have multiple styles.For example, FITVEN's Freestanding Punching Bag and Century's BOB XL Body Opponent Bag look very different, but they're both freestanding bags. Ediva Zanker, the co-founder of Grit Bxng in New York City, says that the type of bag you buy should be determined by your intended use. “Speed bags are good for boxing training, heavy bags are good for cardio, and aqua bags are just fun,” she explains.

This bag doesn’t come with gloves or wraps. But due to its small size, it can easily fit in any room, with space to move 360 degrees around it for an effective workout. The bag offers a great space-saving option for home gyms that are already filled with other fitness equipment, like treadmills and elliptical machines. Children should not use a heavy hanging bag or a hard foam freestanding bag – these are made for adults. To avoid any unnecessary injuries, you should get your child a bag that is designed and marketed specifically for children. The foam in these bags will be softer and therefore they will be safer to use. Inflatable models are also on offer if you want to buy something less expensive to see if your child enjoys punching things in the first place. How much should I spend on a punching bag? The practice of punching dummies allows you to keep your attention on your opponent’s body and strengthen your arms and legs. The main difference between the Bob and the Bob XL is that the XL version has an extended torso allowing for even more kinds of strikes in the lower abdomen and upper thigh areas.Reflex bag: Reflex bags allow you to improve your striking reflexes and accuracy by hitting a small target – such as a hard foam ball – attached to a pole. The randomness and speed of the target’s motion provide the challenge. If you are just starting your fighting career, you should get an ordinary punching bag first – martial arts legends started theirs with it. And, of course, remember that to learn the subtleties of a fight, you will need a good coach and not a rubber mannequin. Due to the BOB’s static nature, it’s not as helpful in practicing offense and defense skills. As a result, a hanging bag is a better option for those who wish to master these martial arts skills and punching power.

The set comes with hand wraps, an air pump, and a carry bag. As long as you don't mind getting used to this bag's unique physics, we think it's a solid buy.
