endcruelty Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 you guys are smart so maybe you can help me I recently purchased a 100lb heavy bag (punching bag) and I'm a little concerned about my beam support. What is the best way to add additional support so my bag will not compromise the beams? i was thinking of just screwing in some extra beams on the side of the one i want to hang the bag from or having a beam from the floor to the one on the ceiling for support This is the current beam support I have:http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x145/impete82/IMG_0188.jpghttp://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x145/impete82/IMG_0187.jpg any ideas? i really wanna beat the hell out of this bag, i see it starring at me, mocking me, and i just wanna put it in it's place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightFoot Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I know you need a ton of support. I would look into talking to some one at a gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontxhide Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I have a 70 lb bag and mine supports look exactly like that. What I did was get a electric drill with a circular drill bit that can create a large hole in the middle of the support beam. I looped my chains through there and its held up perfectly so far. (Ill take picture if you need them) Being a 100# bag, maybe use two support beams, drill the one whole in one and then the other, and loop the chains through there so you have two supportS?

LightFoot Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I dont think its the weight so much I think its more the impact caused by punching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontxhide Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I dont think its the weight so much I think its more the impact caused by punching it. The only problem I have come up with is that when Im kicking the bag sometimes 1 out of 4 of the chain hooks come off the bag, and its a quick 5 second fix to place the hook back to the bag. I should get some duct tape and fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
