Hitting the heavy bag, do you double wrap, or single wrap? What's best?

I used to single wrap when I hit the heavy bag. The workout from doing this was pretty good. Now, I do double wraps, and it seems I am able to develop punching power because of the added cushion of the second wrap.


Should I always train with double wraps, or mix it up every now and then?

What do you guys do when you hit the heavy bag?

 

your title asks about sparring

your post asks about bagwork

which is it genius?

 

It is about bag work. Thanks for correction.

 

Whatever feels best. Can't go wrong with 2 if that's what works for you

 

180" are good enough for me. i actually use bag mitts (less protection than conventional gloves) on the bag, feel my punches more.

 

If I use - it's always single wrap with bag mitts.

Hate the feeling of wearing big ass gloves except when I don't have a choice - sparring.

 

I was wondering this as well.. I've been hitting the heavy bag with MMA gloves and no wraps.

 

double? As in 2 hand wraps per hand?

If that, the no, I just a 180" mexican wraps with the glove (12oz) and its good

If it works for you and there's no injuries while you improve then its okay, its not something I would do though.

 

I hit the bag barehand like once a week to condition my hands and wrists. Punches are thrown more vertical and less power (70 -80%)

 

I find it depending on the amount im gonna train;
ex. last time i was in thailand I was too lazy putting on thick enough gloves\double wrapping. Result: too much strain on my wrist and knuckles....

Personally I do it like this:
- Small amounts of training= thinner gloves and less wrapping
- Big amounts of training = thicker gloves and more wrapping
- If I wanna train at throwing bombs\power hooks\ Overhands = thick gloves and more wrappping
- Straight punches = thinner gloves and less wrapping

A rule of thumb: take care of your hands. Its better to have too little than too much strain on them..

 

bare knucks you fuckin pussies
