A guy shared a story of how he went to his friend’s house to use his newly bought punching bag but decided not to wear the boxing gloves as he practised on the bag.
It ended with him hurting his knuckles and fingers and now he regrets it, learnt his lesson and wants to share his story and experience.
Here is the story
“This happened recently but I just realised that I messed up the day after I tried to be a hero.
So I will start this of by saying I do not do boxing and do not use boxing equipment often.
Well one day my friend got this reflex punching bag and invited me to come and use it as I had not been exercising for a while and had expressed my interest in starting an exercise routine and living a healthy lifestyle.
He was not at home when I went over and his brother who opened the door for me told me to go ahead inside my friend’s room to use the bag.
So I proceeded to go into his room, did some stretching and warm up before I started my boxing routine.
It was kinda rough and it hurt to hit but no big deal I thought as that must be intentional.
The next day I woke up and my hands were burning. Lots of little cuts and scratched and the skin was hot and rough to the touch.
I tried putting some lotion on and that just made it worse by finding each little cut in my hand. I got most of it off bit it still burned.
I asked my friend about it and apparently he had left some gloves on a table and expected me to use them.
Good news is I learned something new about reflex bags, downside I my hands are on fire as I type it.”
