Weight training with a heavy bag

I can jerk a 185 lb barbell over my head about three times using a grip that's slightly wider than my shoulders, but this 100 lb heavy bag with a smooth close grip is a lot harder.

what do you feel your bag with it stayed completely solid didnt bend at all!?

@Dan0101010101010 The bag is slightly soft, and requires a very narrow grip. These two things make it very difficult compared to a barbell. I would say that a 185 lb barbell is almost easier than this 100 lb heavy bag. It's useful for me because it simulates lifting a female dance partner.

@georgeou So what do you fill it with?

@Dan0101010101010 The bag was pre-filled and I paid $100 for it at Title MMA, but shipping was like $40 or $50. Shipping an empty bag to save $30 on shipping is not worth it because it's very hard and expensive to fill your own bag. I also need to build something to hold up this bag so I can punch and kick it.
