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.
