This should be a treat to the likes of DJ FC.
I was working my heavy bag in our basement, and when i heard some creaking from where I had attached the bag to the rafter, i thought "eh, it's strong wood, it'll hold. Well, apparently not. THE AFTERMATH ![]() THE 4 FT. SECTION OF WOOD THAT WAS TORN OUT OF THE CEILING ![]() THE HOLE IN WHICH THE HEAVY-DUTY SCREW WAS INSERTED ABOUT 4 INCHES (Ugly bastard should know all about inserting things 4 inches) ![]() Now is the bag has been attached here for several months, so is it possible that the screw just gradually wore through the wood, and tore out from it when once it reached the breaking point? Entirely. But it still makes one feel like a badass to hit a punching back and have it rip out of solid wood. |

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

Just to capture the moment, here is Blonde's super-lame away message that is currently being displayed:
"I was working on the heavy bag downstairs, and was hitting it so hard that where I had attached it to the rafter (right underneath Jesse's room) ripped from the wood and tore down a section of the ceiling. Sweet. I've underestimated my badassedness." I love how the possibility of his bag being shittily mounted plays zero factor in Blonde's decision on what made it fall out of the ceiling. Nothing but 100% strength and "badassedness". [img]smile.gif[/img] -UB |

The "Mr. Blonde is posting this because he thinks he's a badass" taunts don't exactly work when I already claim it, AND put this disclaimer:

Of course they do. Who the fuck do you think you are? You are so badass that you can divert all criticizm because you put a fucking "disclaimer?" (And it wasn't even a disclaimer)
Go fist yourself Blonde, you are so amazingly cool I'm sure that shouldn't be too hard... I mean you can do anything so long as it involves looking like an Abercrombie model or using your fist. |

Does growing up involve not being physically fit nor taking pride in one's personal appearance? Then no thanks.

im impressed you actually screwed into the floorjoist above....obviously you drilled too big of a pilot hole.........my guess as to why the bag fell .best part of those pics is the shitty wiring you narrowly missed...my guess is the house is mid 40's to mid 50's construction///could be older but thats my guess judging by the cloth wrapped wire..reminiscent of the knob an dtube debacle of yester year...and the 1x8 sub floor upstairs........
how close am i? |

i'm the sinful stench that wafts through nostrils of the righteous....
