you can get dumbells that you can put different weights on... just go to like a Sports Authority or Dicks or somethin. i dont see how a punchin bag would work at all...

Parents are as tough to figure out as kids, trust me on this one. Maybe throw him something different, inquire about an ez curl bar maybe.
