My VERY novice progression at 3 weeks

[NickyBagz]

Been going at the bag for a little over 3 weeks. 5-10 minutes a day. Heres what I got so far, any tips would be welcome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq7iDC7Dhwk

Welcome and good job. The only thing I noticed was the height of your bag (in opinion) is to high. The belly should hit you between your nose and mouth. Other may disagree.

I would say you're off to the races! Is that the only bag you have at the moment? I believe that is the synthetic if I am not mistaken. You may experience better results with a better speed bag. IMO

Cheers, bag on!

Yeah, its my only bag right now. I plan on getting a new one in the future, but want to get as much use out of this one first.

Thanks, its actually MUCH lower than it was at first. It WAS almost up to my forehead! Talk about a shoulder workout.

Welcome to the club! Congratulations you got past the first hurdle you can do what we call triples with both hands Most people loose interest before they get to where you are so they don't have to worry about getting addicted like most of us are Now you need direction consider buying the The Speed Bag Bible or using other sources to help you with basically coaching you need goal oriented exercises or some kind of structure to focus on so you can keep progressing

Speedbag's dvd set has been helping me alot. I highly recommend his book and dvd. Also welcome to the forum.

Very nice work! I agree that the the speed bag bible book and DVD are very helpful. You can also subscribe to speed bag b-rad youtube channel. There's a lot of very well made tutorials on his channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_5...QPpzrwFEOXvXrQ

Looking great there Nicky Bagz , I agree with everone else the the Speedbag Bible book and the dvd set is a great way to get started Alan really walks you through all the techniques very well.It looks like you are well on your way.I would definitely invest in a better quality bag you will notice the difference immediately.

Man 3 Weeks? That’s looking really good. I bought this Platform by myself when I started Bible-style-bagging. I really had a better experience with a sandbag on top of the platform and a new leather-bag, although I didn’t really use it got a long time. You’ll definitely notice the difference between a good leather bag and this synthetic one. Definitely agree on that with bagboy.

Thanks, Ive seen a couple of people mention the sandbag on top of the platform. What exactly does this do?

Helps soak up vibration. You Will notice a difference. Make sure the bag is well sealed! I had one open up on me and it dumped a shovel load of unwelcome sand on my beautiful long locks.
