Can I use 45lb water jug (filled with sand) as a plate? I'm 15 and I can't afford anymore weight plates and I need to add more weight onto my bench.

Sure. Muscles are “dumb”, they won’t know the difference between sand & anything else.

You could, but check out used on CL, garage sales, or wherever. Don't be afraid to offer less than the asking price if they aren't in great condition.

Not trying to be an ass here but why don't you go do some odd jobs,mow lawns,wash cars,pull weeds,turn in recycle or anything you can raise a little money for some weights.
A go fund me on face book maybe?

Lift faster, take shorter breaks between sets, do more reps.
Thank me later.

Make a pullup bar, do pullups for back, and supplement with pushups for front. Free, effective workout.

I respect the dedication. But as someone else said take shorter rest breaks. Also do slower reps and more sets. Just focus on the muscle this way you won’t need to add more weight
