Apparently working out too hard. 2 leg injuries in 6 months , all from doing the right round house kick on the heavy bag . I just got in a much softer kick target, but i am still on restriction for another month . 😔

@TexChik Have you tried one of the thinner bags? My heavy bag is 100lbs, which is honestly too much for most kicks (imho). I’m actually regretting the purchase tbh. Half the time it feels like just punching (or kicking) cement. 🫤

@Adogslife That was the point to toughen up your knuckles and shins back in the day. My heavy bag was huge and felt like concrete. The new bag has beans and sand, with a thick layer of memory foam padding. Feels like I am kicking a cloud, but it is fairly heavy on its own.

@TexChik Good call. I should probably stop being so stubborn and replace mine. If you’re a little off on a back fist it really sucks. I stopped using it for probably six weeks when my wrist stung, almost like a carpal tunnel feeling. Ruining my stick work just isn’t worth that risk.
