Ok, so I got this bag at a garage sale for $25.00 and have been dying to put it up. My Century stand doesnt have weights to hold it in place, so every time I hit the bag, I was chasing the stand. Plus the bag was hanging too low. Got as cople of porch swing springs from Lowes. each spring is rated up to 300lbs, my bag weighs about 100 at the most ( I personally think it's about 60-80). this is how i hung it:

The spring makes all the difference in the world. I like to have at least a few links of chain in there also but if you don't have room the spring is more important. Much less shock and jarring on the joists. Also, I think a bag in the 60 to 80 lb range is excellent. Floyd Patterson's favorite weight for the heavy bag was 70 lbs. because the bag made him move when he threw combinations. Some bags are so heavy that they just hang. You need the movement unless you are going to fight statues.
