I've been meaning to get a heavy bag for a long time but I'm still not sure what weight I should get. I'm 5'7" ~200lbs (but eventually I'll get back to ~155lbs). Now from what I've seen sites recommend 70lbs but thats just for punching. I plan to also kick the bag and I would say I'm a average puncher and just above average kicker. I was thinking 100lbs and I did try that out at a store but that wasn't for very long.

I was also planning on getting a water filled bag but haven't had much luck finding a lot. I've only found one 100lb bag and it was expensive and only 36" tall, I'm trying for ~4ft.

But point being, what weight should I go with?
 
I think that depends on you more than anyone else :D
also training style

I would say go for the lighter weight...70-80 should be ok

Just keep in mind the type of guy I am...5'9" 170 (trying to go for 160) :D
I do light weights and have big muscles and can hit really hard ;)
