Some other things you can do with stuff that you might just have lying around.

Take a twelve pound sledgehammer and beat the living daylights out of two or three old car tires that you've roped together into a stack. After you've hit it twenty times, put the sledgehammer down, and jump up, both feet more or less together, onto the stack a dozen times. Now pick up the sledgehammer and beat on it again. Continue until euphoria hits. After a few months, move up to a 16 pound sledge. If you can get a big old truck or tractor tire, you're stylin, that's even better.

You laugh. Go look at YouTube for sledgehammer workouts. Ryan Viera works out with a sledgehammer on a 400 pound truck tire....not something that you probably have lying around, though. I wish I threw as far as Ryan Viera..

Big Truck tires...got access to one? If you do, and you have space for it, you're lucky. Have fun.

Take that sandbag, maybe with 75 pounds in it, and lie down. Put the sandbag on your shoulder. Now stand up. Lie down again. Stand up. Now put it over the other shouder. Repeat. It's not complicated.

Find a big rock. A BIG rock, like a 75 or 80 or 90 pounder. Haul it home. Pick it up. Carry it around. Put it on a shelf and take it down again. Press it over your head a few times. Put it down. Repeat until tired.

Rock/sandbag drags... Make a plywood sled. It's not fancy, it's a 2 foot by 2 foot piece of plywood with a couple of pieces of 2 x 4 wood screwed and glue'd to one flat face of the plywood. Drill some holes in the ends of the 2 x 4s and tie a rope bridle onto the thing. Go drag your rock and sandbag all over some football field, pulling both forwards and backwards, meaning facing both away from the sled, and facing towards the rock.

OK, take your rock/bag/sled and do THAT. Pull the sled towards you. Works on grip strength, too.
