        Where did you get that platform? Is it from ringside? It looks pretty good.

        I don't know what's up with that everlast pro but it looks like hell. I have two everlast pros and they look much better. I ordered one from title and one straight from everlast and the one from everlast looks better than the one from title. Also, I was at Dicks sporting goods and they have everlast pro bags that look and feel inferior than the one I ordered from the everlast web site.

        I have to say though that your setup looks awesome! I am glad to see that someone else besides me enjoys using the chainlink swivel. I have that same swivel. It's a good one, although I believe that the everlast chainlink is the best swivel out there.

            yea its a ringside platform i wrote a review on it. its a nice platform at a great price. the swivel is pretty nice except its very squicky i have to to wd 40 on it often. yeai got the bag at dicks so that might be a reason for the poor bag. i like the bag just wish the leather wasnt so crappy...

              Looks great. Can't beat the convenience of training at home...it'll pay for itself within a year.

              Shame the everlast bag has gone south so quickly. The important thing is that it still works though...

                I have the everlast plastic and metal ballhooks, the ringside and everlast chainlink swivels, and I have used the U-bolt type swivel several times. If you care to know the details of why the everlast chainlink is the best (in my opinion), then post a reply.

                Sorry dbirdmma, I forgot that I had already read your review on that platform.

                  Looks like a nice uncluttered space for you to focus on what your doing.

                  Try some grease. It will last longer than WD-40. Slather a decent amount on, hit it for a couple of minutes to work it in and wipe off the excess.

                        I like it. I'm getting my first garage soon, so I can't wait to do the same with my place , minus the olympic bench.

                        So what is done with the floor. Is that padding or carpet?
