Work out routines with only dumbells?

Gold Heart · 07-16-2004, 11:38 AM

My bench press set was sold recently by my parents but I was able to keep my dumbells and a few weight plates.

I DON'T need any weight recommendations, but I DO need some workouts that will effectively build my muscles significantly.

I already do curls and a dumbell version of hangpulls, but I need more arm exercises, chest, shoulders, and leg exercises. Thanks.

check them out... you've got lunges, arnolds, shoulder press, incline db press, db row, flat db press, shrugs... you can do everything with dbs.

Unless you have a dumbbell set that cost ya a few grand tho, you probably don't have enough weight for some of the bigger muscles.... (i.e. back, legs.... maybe chest, if you're burly.)

There's a lot of information on that site, just what I needed. I appreciate it.
