For an occasional change up, I use a a sanded and painted 3x3 block of wood that is about 16 inches long for my board presses. I take a belt, warp it around my torso and belt the block on to my chest.

My best piece of equipment was my sandbag I made a couple years ago. Just a canvas military bag and some sand. Total cost was like 20 bucks and it was awesome for cleans, shouldering and lots of other stuff.

I would suggest a sandbag to all at home trainers.

That's a damn good idea.

I need to build a ghetto farmer's walk apparatus that can be left outdoors or in a garage/shed. I don't need it to allow for adjustable weight. I am looking at it primarily for cardio post-workout.

I am considering building a box frame (like the one from this year's Arnold) if it's not too costly. Unless I can buy one for about the same price.

Do you place the sandbag in anything to help stop leakage? Say puncture proof lawn bags, or something like that?

I can't do it anymore but the best thing I ever made was a sissy squat machine. Like Arnie and Platz said. If you call me a sissy for doing them you never tried them or do them right.

This isn't the one I made but very very close.
