Shoulders, triceps, biceps, back, etc. Best & most fun exercises around. The double ended bag is better for your back if you use a boxing stance where you are 90 degrees to the bag. It will hit back if you get your head too close, so mind the rebounds. I have faithfully used these two for about 15 years. Awesome after a long day, go beat the shit out of something that won't care.
You can also get going on a heavy bag, but you can easily dick up your shoulders with one if you don't know what you are doing.

We had a heavy bag, 'till it broke from the ceiling.  I do thoroughly enjoy boxing though (well against a bag anyway).
