_Burn Machine Professional Speed Bag_
A glorified shakeweight for men or an actual arm burning sensation waiting to sweep America's athletes?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Features, Pricing, and Reason for Buying:
The Burn Machine Speed Bag (BMSB) was a device that sat at the back of my mind, stewing in interest since I witnessed Anderson Silva and Brock Lesnar use it (which is funny, because at the time Brock took a beatin from Carwin and Silva from Chael). Being wary of the possible plug by MMA superstars, and understanding the potential for the BMSB being a gimmick, I held out on buying this product for a few months. Nonetheless, over the months of it being brought up on MMA forums, the product slowly work it's way to seeming like it was a full blown, need-to-have-for-your-workout tool. And with Burn Machine (BM) offering a Labor Day discount, I knew that if I wasn going to buy it then I'd need to move now. Thus, for Labor Day Weekend, BM offered their Speed Bags at a discount of around 35% off. With standard UPS Ground shipping being $20, the total came out to $135.54 USD for their Pro 12lb'er.
Building my home gym, I figured instead of purchasing a speed bag, the platform, and then setting it up, I could just buy the BMSB.
Initial Impressions:
The SB shipped in a slim box and includes a DVD, a company-product brochure, a poster detailing different SB workouts. Upon opening, the SB is very sleek and pretty to look at with it's shiny metal and tough looking handle bars. The device doesn't look menacing at all, and I imagine if you've never seen it in action, you wouldn't be able to figure out it's main workout. Nonetheless, I tried it out as soon as I opened the box, and I had an absolute blast. It's so easy to get a good workout in your arms and shoulders: you just pick it up and spin! No need to put on gloves, go to the garage, and work the bag: you have a workout right here!

However, they're different devices. BMSBP does not equal the speedbag hanging at my boxing gym.
