Hello,
I am so grateful to have found this site, and it is nice to meet everyone in the forum.
I just purchased the Everlast speedbag combo set and have been using it to help me quit smoking. So far it's working, because I've replaced the habit of lighting up with working out on the bag. Here's what I purchased:
I hope I can get the help of the forum with improving on what I have. I've only been using the speedbag for a few days and have quickly discovered that I've already outgrown the rebound speed.
After reading reviews about the platform, I see that the particle board may have something to do with it. Looking at pictures on this forum also tells me I should get some external 2x4's to use to mount the support brackets.
What can help me improve the rebound speed? Should I reinforce the particle board "drum" with more wood? If so, what kind?
Also, is a leather bag better than the vinyl one that comes with the set?
How about the size of the bag? Should it be smaller?
I've been looking at the pictures of the homemade platforms on this site, and they're all awesome! Has anyone taken the set like the one I have and improved on it? Please share what you did.
Sorry for the lengthy post, I'm just really psyched about having this platform, and a new healthy habit, and want to make sure it continues to be fun...
Thanks a bunch!
