What should I buy with $40?

Thread Starter 

My girlfriend's parents gave me $40 for graduation (feel free to gift me something as well  ).  Instead of saving it, or doing something useful with it, I'll just blow it on whatever sounds interesting that has been suggested in this thread!  So, link me stuff and in a few days, I'll buy whatever is most interesting.  $40 (USD) is the limit, though!

You can build a sandbag for strength training and conditioning. 

 

Bag = $10-20

100lbs of Sand = $8

Duct Tape = $1

Contractor Bags = $7-17

Or, if you have weak skeletor hands, a CoC gripper:

If you go that route, don't forget to purchase The Complete Sandbag Training Course.

kirosia, have you ever tried the so called "bulgarian sandbags"? They are more curved, sort of a quasi-crescent shape. I'm guessing they're more useful for rotational workouts, but having never handled one I can't really comment.

$40? Easy. A long net that they use to clean swimming pool. And a fake moustache.

Then you go around rich neighbourhood during work hours and knock and see if they need their swimming pools cleaned.

^^Nope, in fact I've only just made my own sandbag using a second-hand military duffel. (Not optimal, but I'm stuck with it)

1. go to bank and trade 40$ for 4000 pennies.

2. mould them together and sell them to a metal shop.

3. You should get more than 40$.

4. Repeat the process over and over until you get 1400$

5. Buy the sennheiser HD 800.

Enjoy!!!

Does your workout routine lean more toward the aerobic or strength training side?
