  • Is this a terrible idea?

    It's not the dead weight that's the problem, but the movement.

    Breeze blocks are quite soft - certainly a lot softer than modern brick or cent blocks. I'd worry that any anchor would crumble it over time.

    Chuck it in the garden with a frame made from 4x4 fenceposts, concreted into the ground.

  • Outside isn't an option for me. I train barefoot in shorts and have an aversion to cold.

    How about chemical fixings instead of wall anchors? I have no experience with them but have heard they don't budge.

  • A bit of hardboard on the floor, breakdance style?

    I'm not going to get away with hanging a heavy bag inside, and am planning on hanging one from a 4x4 & 2x4 frame, and slapping some hardboard on the floor when I'm using it.

    I like @Ndeipi's through bolt idea - maybe with a plate on either side & bushings.

    Or 2x4 against the wall with a bunch of bolts to spread the load -
