/fit/ just asking for your opinion on this work out regime.
Get a kit bag, fill it with 100lb of sand every morning carrying it up and down 3 flights of stairs 15 times stopping after 5, 10 and 15 to do a set of Hungarian deadlifts and a set of 8-12 upright rows.
In addition going to the gym 4 times a week to work on areas not covered such as chest, stomach, hamstrings and triceps, and also going swimming once a week for shits and giggles.
Is this too much? What should change? I'm not too hung up on the aesthetic side of the result and can keep up this routine for the foreseeable future.

whats a hungarian deadlift?

this looks a little similar to some sort of strongman split
what i would to is 3 days gym training one day legs (=squat), one push (overhead + bench), one pull (=deadlift + rows, pullups, ..)
4th day something like your sand bag idea except that i would do more than what you wrote
other things you could do with a sandbag (and other various things):
-overhead press
-zercher squats
-farmers walk
-car pushing/pulling
-throwing the bag (think keg toss)
-drag the bag (think sled drag)
..

Seabags work but 100#s will only fill it half way. Sand will go fucking everywhere if you don't pack it right. Definitely get a sea bag because you can do some seriously badass things with 150-200 pounders but if you find a smaller duffle bag it will save you a lot of trouble in exercises that have overhead components because the slack in a seabag will fuck you over on benchpresses/pushpresses. Instead of upright rows do cleans unless you can drop the bag. If you can drop the bag do high pulls (pretty much the same at upright rows but you have a shrug/calf component to it). Sandbags make zercher style easy and really effective (cradling the bag = zercher) and forces a back component to all your exercises. When you carry it up and down the stairs you should mix it up with firemans carry (back squat style), alternating having it on one shoulder, and doing a zercher carry. I assume Hungarian deadlifts are the same as Romanian deadlifts; do them zercher style, break at the hips and push your ass back, do them slow. Aside from this if you do get a smaller bag you can fill it to a weight you can handle to carry overhead and then try carrying that up a flight of stairs. That will destroy your core and increase your shoulder stability, breathe shallow and stay tight. Try turkish getups with this bag as well, you don't extend your arm but rather control the bag on your shoulder (wrapping your arm around it). You can do bench presses with these bags too and trust me, you will wreck your hands. Your thumbs will never feel anything close to this.
