Filling a punching bag with water?

Question

Is it seriously ok to fill a punching bag with water? Ive read alot of things but not sure if people were joking.

Ive got a cylinder shaped one, its quite big.

Thanks.

Answer 1

IMO, the only way to utilize water is to have a water badder designed for use in a heavybag, vinyl outer bags with the rubber badder inside with a spout for filling is the only feasible way to use water in a bag. Canvas, leather anything without a rubber bladder inside is diaster waiting to happen. Remember, water weighs quite a bit per gallon and figuring how many gallons of water to fill the average 14" x 48" bag will determine final weight. Some water bags weigh as much as 200 lbs. Be careful. and good luck.

Answer 2

You can buy water filled bags. They are not going to develop hard spots like sand filled bags will. Better on your hands.

Answer 3

Well If you fill a large heavy bag with water its probably gonna weigh a lot so yea lol. And hopefully your heavy bag is real durable and doesn't have any rips or tears or anything of that sort to prevent leaking.
