Just a quickie - concentration curl - rather than contort into the traditional seated elbow against knee, do 'em stood-up with the elbow supported by the seat of your exercise bike!

Esp. good if you prefer using kettlebell curls (and need the extra floor clearance)

This weekend Rob Russell will be entering his first strongman competition, down at Melton Mowbray; run by Englands u105kg strongest man Jason Talbot. Events are in medley format check out sugdenbarbell for more info, hints & tips.

The perfect homemade solution to having no cash/access to a punchbag... http://oakstboxing.com/index.php

So here's a few of my solutions as to the 'how'
Tools required are a reciprocating/hack saw, power drill (HSS bits/Holesaw) and Quick clamps
And various sticky-together items such as; self-tapper screws, washers, bent angle brackets, metal strips for backing plates, nuts & bolts, untreated wood, some chain/rope, eyebolts, shackles
Not forgetting a couple of tyres... (tires) Most of the fixing solutions are interchangeable, modify as you see fit.

Wall/column mounted Punch/MMA Kicking Target

Basically a plywood backing board, 3x2 fixing blocks,

plenty of screws and half a dozen shield anchors

(oh and slightly more than half a tyre)

Swinging uppercut styly.

You'll need three tyres as the uppercut sections take a bit more than half a tyre each.

Tri-point hanger (more stable than 4 point spport) options:

X. Basic rope

Y. Chain & eyebolt with backing block/plate/washer

Z. Chain,shackle & snap carabiners

+1 Swivel joint/D-ring to hanger support - it's upto you.

Fixity Options:

A. Wood block spacers with screws

B. Fold-in tabs bolted/screwed with washers/backing plates

C. Metal brackets, fixings as 'B'

D. Fold-out tabs bolted/screwed with washers/backing plates

D2. Tab extended - gives better load spread

A further option would be tabs with enlarged holes allowing the use of rope to lash 'em together.

Cross-over piece cutting/folding.

Disclaimer->

Due to their very nature, tyres can snag/grab saw blades/drill bits - you've been warned!

Have fun!
