Can you use these alone for intense work outs? I got a wavemaster xxl punching bag.

I would honestly not use them for any workout. They are pretty uncomfortable. The fist/hit is not balanced so it comes out weird and you can even hurt your hand. Finally, they totally destroy the skin around my hands in just a few minutes. I prefer to use mexican hand/wrist bands. They really protect you and the fist/hitting is more natural and you get a better feel for it. Plus they are only like 3 bucks. Once you get the hang out of it, you can put them on in a minute.

I wouldn't. They provide some wrist support, but I think you are risking some damage if you aren't wrapped up, and properly padded. I like these for getting a good cardiovascular workout on the bag. They are so much easier to put on by yourself, that they are great for that type of exercise.

I wouldn't. They are not intended to be used alone for hard punching. They are meant to be worn under bag gloves.

These are supposed to be used inside a glove, but, I would never use them, because they do not offer thumb support. Title does make "Fighting Sports" glove wraps, and those are fantastic, under a glove, to replace conventional wrapping, and they do have great thumb support, which is an absolute necessity. This is my strong opinion, because I would not want anyone hurting their hand, when title, has a much better glove wrap to offer, in "Fighting Sports". All the best!!

I have the same wraps and the same exact bag. The answer is yes, but ensure you are using good punching form and not for extended periods. After a while or after successive days your knuckles do feel the beating. These wraps are great and highly recommended - they are lightweight, offer good wrist support, and mobility but for really intense or extended heavy bag sessions you will want to consider real bag gloves. This is my plan and I am going to purchase bag gloves for this reason in the near future. Happy training!

hi, i tried to do that but definitely this product is to protect your hand inside of boxing glove.

Yes for sure. I am using them on a standard canvas heavy bag and a speed bag with no wear or pain issues. I am impressed with them.

yes - i use them for that also! added bonus use of the straps - my trainer showed me how to use this and since there are three different bands - you can work up to the thickest band for more resistance.

You can do the workouts without any extra equipment-- the bands/dumbbells add extra resistance (if you are ready for asylum, get the bands). While dumbbells can be substituted for many of the moves, the bands are also used for leg resistance, which you cannot get from a dumbbell (ie, standing on the band and doing the 'splits' in the air while making an 'x' with your arms-- working your arms and legs). Also, it's hard to jump rope in my living room, so I just pretend to jump rope. As long as you focus on your form, you'll be fine. Have fun-- it's a great, effective workout!

Definitely, I use them at the Gym, for an extra tight workout... Thanks, Noe

I haven't used it in the gym. they are a bit heavy though - you might want to take that into consideration when using them at the gym.

Yes i have been i several fights while wearing them. They dont interfere with grappling. They protect your hands from teeth and other sharp things. They transfet alot of energy into the punch as well.

Definitely would NOT use these for yoga.... as far as resistance training with machines, they are good to use on your heaviest sets. =]

Don't know why you would want to? The bag is very durable, and the person I purchased this for is an ex-special forces, black belt/trainer who uses this bag. It works well and we are very happy with this.

Yes, my personal trainer actually recommended I get these so I can work out in my hotel room when I'm traveling. You can make the exercises as hard or easy as you like depending on how you distance yourself from the straps. I definitely would recommend - I am a novice exerciser!

I don't see why not. I use them to kick the heavy bag(Muay Thai). I hope You get better.

Hi Kyle,I don't think you could use them that way. The bands are on the lighter side so lats are a little to strong. You can combine the bands, i.e. use two or three and hook them to the handles. But that would not work so well for lat pull downs. I find them best for biceps, shoulders, triceps.

Yes. I bought these for my husband to use while working out. He loves them!
1456687
yes you can. these are a good quality bag. and they are very durable plus they are light weight so you don't carry extra weight.
1138705
I'm sure you CAN, but that isn't what they are designed for. I would recommend getting actual weightlifting gloves with the proper grip for the bar. These are better suited for shadowboxing and kickboxing type workouts.

Not really. There is no difference INSIDE the bag based on punching or kicking. However, the size of the bag will dictate if "punches only" is a better idea. If its smaller and lighter, then kicks aren't going to be great on it. Also, to practice low kicks, you need a long bag, like a Muay Thai or "banana" bag.

The knuckles are exposed. They are probably not good for activities that include punching. Still nice to use to enhance your workout.

Why should you not could make plank row type exercise with these water filled dumbbells? But maybe they are not that handy for they are quite big when filled up. The waterfilled dumbells may be inappropriate for this type exercise, because small light dumbells are what the most people choose to use. To get the right amount of weight you may have adust the 4 dumbells to exact the same, this can be tricky.If they would break or leak? I guess not. They are what they are, and the quality of them are quite good. I use them only when i´m travelling. Cheers
