I just started using the heavy bag for a workout and I really enjoy it. My problem is, I don't know a thing about boxing equipment. It took several weeks and very sore hands/wrists to figure out that I needed hand wraps. Now I'm not sure what type of gloves to use. My first pair have ripped near the palm and I just received the new pair that I ordered. These new ones appear heavy duty, but when trying them out, my hands feel very unsupported inside of them. When I ordered them, the Internet site suggested (based on my weight of 220) that I needed XLG. But I have a feeling that XLG is just too big. I've thought about using 180" hand wraps and really bulk up my fist, and then try using the gloves; do you think this will work, or should I just order some smaller gloves. Note: I've currently been using the 108" wraps, but just recently learned that that size is normaly for youth/women. Thanks for the help.

Someone gave you the right advice to lose the 108 inch wraps. Those are for children and women. Get the 180-185 " so-called "Mexican wraps". A good wrap will help a lot. The way you wrap is also important. Ringside.com has a how-to showing how to wrap. Regarding gloves, the type of gloves you have are okay for the speed bag but for the heavy bag you might as well get real boxing gloves (16 oz). Some of the fighters at our gym use 22 ounce gloves for training so that the competition gloves feel lighter.

Hello,
Is everything fine? What's going on?
