Something Dark Side Fitness Guru Posts: 516 Something Dark Side I've been interested in losing weight and gaining muscle here at traineo since late 2007. Its not until mid 2008 that i've actually started my training routine 5 days a week. Trying to get to under 19% body fat.	# Posted: 26 Dec 2007 05:55 I have been watching a few of expertvillages youtube videos of kickboxing, so I got a pair of everlast grappling boxing gloves for kickboxing. Do you think these would work for practising jabs, hooks etc? It says for light boxing bag work, but I don't know what light means, so do you think this would be ok? I'll be thowing 15 jabs, then 15 hooks, then a rest to start with. I'll do that set a couple of times. So is that ok or too much for the gloves to handle? Heres a picture of it: http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h75/soesnake/Box ingEquipment007.jpg The knuckles have a gel padding

Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.) http://splintchesthair.blogspot.com/	# Posted: 27 Dec 2007 16:47 Depends on what you're hitting and how hard. If you already have them, you might as well use them. I've read they're not made very well but this was from guys using them to train in MMA.

I'm not smashing it to pieces, but i'm hitting hard I guess.

Training Program: CrossFit, walk Diet Plan: smaller portions Blog: covertress.com	# Posted: 29 Dec 2007 03:18 Man! Those gloves would have to be for super light bag work. I just bought a 100 lb. heavy bag and don't yet have the right gloves. In fact, all I have are sailing gloves-- with a little less padding on the knuckles than yours. I beat my hands purple the first time I used them. Good luck. I'm going for the max. cushioned available.

I was punching the bag and as long as the padding is right on the knuckles they are basicly fine to punch I guess
Elle Bri traineo Newbie Posts: 24 Elle Bri This member has no personal statement yet!	# Posted: 29 Dec 2007 23:51 Those gloves are made for hitting people so hitting a padded bag won't hurt the gloves. I would be worried about your hands, boxing gloves would be better in this sense.

Training Program: CrossFit, walk Diet Plan: smaller portions Blog: covertress.com	# Posted: 30 Dec 2007 03:51 Stitch, Do your hands hurt after punching? Do you have any broken blood vessels or any bruising? If not, go ahead with those gloves. I'd like to try them out but, personally, I think I hit too hard for that style. I really get the old 100 lbs. bag moving.

But that's it, and only sometimes. I'm just a little concerned about my pinky finger on my right hand, I broke it around 4 months ago or so.... It's been out of the cast for around 2 or so months. Its healed, but I dont know if I should punch anymore. I broke it by punching something really hard.

My partner gave them to me. He says they're better than the other ones. Im thinking, stuff it, I'll just punch the bag.

I would get some 14 oz boxing "Training Gloves" Title is a great brand for the price, you can get these pretty cheap and they will last. http://store.titleboxing.com/hookclastrai.html Good luck
Dave Nicholson The Master Posts: 2094 Dave Nicholson I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy... diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :) I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming! I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some? Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks. I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August. Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.	# Posted: 14 Feb 2008 15:43 Quoting: sianlee Well there goes a good xmas present, what can I use them for then insted of just hitting people? Of course you can use those... Remember also that you should be punching to hit w/ your first two knuckles predominantly, not your pinky knuckle. I hit a heavy bag w/out gloves for a couple months.... Hurt like hell, but no permanent injury.

Check out what I do at www.warriorcoaching.co.uk	# Posted: 14 Feb 2008 16:21 I have sparring gloves which are padded on the back so it doesn't hurt the other guy when you spank him in the kisser. If I was using punch bags etc.. I just use bare hands cos I kind of like the raw feeling. I'm not a masochist but I do like the feeling of really training and the scrapes and bruises that come with it. Like the shoulder strap marks that dig in when you carry a heavy bergen, like the weight of the bar on the back of your neck when doing heavy squats, and the cuts and bruises after rugby. Yes!! I love being a boy and geting all muddy and battered, then having a hot bath to wash it all off. Blood, sweat and tears. Love it!!

I wasn't born to satisfy every woman, though the lord knows I'd try if I had the chance. When they get me, they get what they're given, ha ha. And there seems to be quite a group out there who are growing tired of the pretty boy cult and are wishing there were some real men around. Cue me and my farm boy hands, ha ha
