Dumbbell Workout Full Body

You don't need a fully equipped gym to still be in the best shape of your life. Dumbbells are an amazing training tool, that can help you build more muscle mass and strength. Dumbbells also help improve core strength, stability, and can correct muscular and postural imbalances. With this 6-week, 5-day split total-body dumbbell workout, you can start turning up your sweat, and crushing more calories all from the comfort of your home.

Who Is This Program For?

This total-body dumbbell workout will only work for those that have access to dumbbells. This program is perfect for those working out from home, traveling and who need a consistent dumbbell program to perform at their hotel gym, or for those that want to start a new training protocol at their local gym. 

5 Day Full Body Dumbbell Workout Split

The main goal of this dumbbell workout is to increase muscle mass and strength. The suggested split, designates chest, shoulders, and triceps into day one, with a day two split between legs and shoulders, and day three splitting between back and biceps. Day 4, splits legs and shoulders again and day 5 covers a full body dumbbell workout.  

After 6 weeks, you can continue with the workout intensity and rep range as prescribed if you'd like to consistently make incremental gains. If you want to build more muscle and strength, increase the weight incrementally each subsequent week, and keep your rep range the same, with your last few sets between 8-10 reps. If you want to gain more size, increase the rest time between sets. 

When you're done with the bulk and ready for a cut, increase your rep volume, turn up the intensity, and slightly dial down the load. The key here is calories burned, so if you want to burn more body fat, throw in some cardio acceleration movements between your sets, to keep heart rate up.
