What is the best way to use a heavy bag. I don’t live near a boxing gym and I have no way to learn other wise. Do you use handwraps, sparring gloves, normal gloves?
use handwraps over bag gloves to start. Then figure out the rest through experimentation. Make sure you learn proper technique or all the wraps in the world won’t prevent broken bones. If you don’t know for sure if you’ve got proper thechnique, then, trust me, you don’t know proper technique.
After learning proper technique, I learned that I could get away with just handwraps. I’d wrap both hands, focusing more on supporting my wrist on my left hand and my knuckles on the right. I don’t recommend using bag gloves without wraps. Very quickly learned that was a bad idea.
Everyone wants to wail on their bag as if they were auditioning for the role of the bad guy in Rocky 12, swinging away like a crazy man. I recommend working the bag with medium-powered shots. Working out on the bag is like a marathon rather than a sprint. Go for an aerobic exercise.

I just bought a 70 pound heavy bag (I’m 6′1" 300 lbs). I’ve had some martial arts training, but have never boxed. I’ve always gone bare hand on the various hand held pads (up to a full body pad) but I think a heavy bag is a totally different animal. I also bought a pair of Century brand "leather wrap gloves" which the guy at Academy told me should be sufficient to protect my hands. However, most folks at retail establishments are poorly trained and don’t know much about their products. Is it necessary for me to wrap my hands?
Wrap your hands and then put the gloves on. That guy at the store was just trying to sell you the gloves.

Some people suggest that weightlifting is important however I tend to believe that knuckle pushups and heavy bag training has a greater affect because the wrist and knuckles are being exercised. Also they are people who are small but can punch hard and people who are big but dont punch as hard.
Yes it is true.
