How To Have Amazing Workouts With Only Dumbbells

One of the most useful pieces of gym equipment you’ll ever use is the classic dumbbell.

There’s so much you can do with a pair of 20lbs dumbbells, it’s kinda crazy to think about it.

You can do rows, curls, shoulder press, chest press, tricep extensions, squats, deadlifts, and a whole lot more.

You can train your forearms, tibialis (tibi-what?), and even your neck with just a dumbbell.

So if you don’t have a gym membership or a full home gym, no need to worry…

I got you covered.

Here’s what we’re gonna do:

Day 1: Push Day
Bench Press or Floor Press: 2 sets of AMRAP
Seated or Standing Shoulder Press: 2 sets of AMRAP
Chest Flys: 1 set of AMRAP
Overhead Tricep Extensions: 1 set of AMRAP
Standing Lateral Raises: 1 set of AMRAP

Day 2: Pull Day
Single Arm Rows: 4 sets of AMRAP
Standing Shrugs: 2 sets of AMRAP
Facepulls: 1 set of AMRAP
Supinating Bicep Curls: 1 set of AMRAP
