Putting together the Century BOB Punching Bag might seem a little overwhelming at first, but don't worry. Follow these steps, and you'll have it ready in no time.
Step 1: Unpack and Get Organized
Start by making sure you've got everything you need. You'll have the torso, the base, and some bolts and screws. It's smart to lay everything out to check that nothing's missing.
Step 2: Prepare the Base
You can fill the base with sand or water to keep it stable. Our research suggests that sand makes it sturdier, which is helpful if you're planning to go hard on your workouts.
Place the base where you want to use the BOB, as it gets heavy and tough to move once filled.
Step 3: Attach the Torso
Next, line up the torso with the base. This part can be a bit tricky, so take your time with it. According to what we found, getting the alignment just right can be a challenge.
Once it looks good, insert the bolts through the torso and into the base, and make sure they're tight. It might be necessary to check and tighten them from time to time since workouts can loosen them up.
Step 4: Adjust the Height
BOB's cool feature is that you can adjust the height between 60 and 78 inches. To do this, loosen the adjustment knob, slide the torso to your preferred height, and then tighten the knob again.
Step 5: Final Check
Give all the bolts and screws a final check to ensure they're snug. You don't want anything coming loose while you're training.
Tips for Use
BOB is great for practicing strikes and getting your technique just right. Although, based on our research, it might not entirely replace a traditional bag if you're focused mainly on kick drills.
It's best for refining form.
Assembling BOB might take some patience, but it's worth it. Our research indicates that people really appreciate how tough and durable it is—it holds up well to regular, intense training.
Enjoy your workouts!
