Lately I have been investigating "general physical preparedness" (GPP). Specifically sandbag training and Bulgarian Training bags. I looked around on the net and found a few tutorials on how to make your own implements.
Last night I made my first sandbag from an old canvas laundry bag. Actually I used pea gravel. It ended up being about 80 pounds.
Let the training begin!
[edit 11/11/2009]
The training tire/bag is 30lbs. The smaller sandbag is 65lbs. The heavier sandbag is 100lbs. I also got some chain and rope attached to old fence posts (to drag/pull). Finally, I have an old tire (free from an auto shop) and bought a 10lb. sledgehammer. I need to find a larger tractor tire to flip and I will almost be set...for now!

In Steven Pressfield's book Gates of Fire, the term "akoniti" was used when an opponent was defeated so thoroughly and quickly that literally "no dust" was raised in the ring.
