Here's A Dumbell Workout That Only
|
|||||||||
![]() |
A
Dumbell
Workout can be just as productive as barbells and much
more productive than machine workouts. Dumbells give you the ability to work each arm, leg, and side of your body indpendent of the other arm, leg, or side of your body. |
If you have weaknesses in one side of your body and you're trying to catch one side up to the other side, you might consider using dumbells for certain exercises. Or you might consider trying the entire dumbell workout I that I recommend below.
I started my home gym with a good set of adjustable
dumbbells. I was able to do entire workouts with a single set
of adjustable dumbells. And I made very good progress that way! And you
can too.
If you're looking to create your own home gym and
you just don't have the money for all the home
gym equipment, you can spend a few hundred dollars on a good
set of adjustable dumbbells and weights and have everything you need to
get started.
Dumbell workouts combined with the WLC
System will build more muscle than you ever imagined. I'm
going to go over the recommended exercises for each major
muscle group. All you need to do is set up your WLC Program
with these exercises and you'll be well on your way to the body you've
always wanted.
As explained in the WLC System, you will need to
concentrate on building strength in the muscle building rep ranges.
Over the WLC Cycle, you will get stronger than ever before.
This
ensures that you build muscle along the way. Here are the exercises I
want you to focus on during your WLC Cycle of only dumbell workouts.
See the weight
lifting exercises section for more details on each exercise.
Quads
Dumbell Squats
Squats with the dumbells at your sides. Make sure you squat down as far
as possible with every rep. This ensures you are getting a full stretch
in the bottom position for your quads. Keep your lower back tight and
look straight ahead as you perform each rep. Push thru your heels each
and rep and lower the weight slowly.
Hamstrings
Dumbell Stiff Legged Deadlifts
Start with the dumbbells at your sides at the top position. Lower
slowly while rotating the dumbbells to the front position in front of
your thighs. Ensure you get a good stretch in your hamstrings at the
bottom position. Don't overdo the stretch. Push thru your heels on the
way up.
Calves
Dumbell Standing Calf Raises
You'll need a good calf block to perform this exercise or simply use
the floor. You'll be missing out on the stretch position, though, which
is very important. So, build you a calf block or buy one to get the
most out of this calf exercise.
Chest
Dumbell Incline Bench Press
You'll need an adjustable bench to do this exercise. If you don't have
an adjustable bench, I suggest you do Parallel Dips as a back up
exercise to the incline bench press. You could also use push ups as a
substitute, but you'll need a way to progress. You could add higher
resistance bands as you go or use a back pack to add weights. You have
to have a method of progression, though, to meet the WLC Guidelines!
Back
Dumbell Bent Over Rows
Simply do dumbell rows in a bent over position. Keep your lower back
tight and look straight ahead. Lower slowly and make sure you get those
dumbells up for a peak contraction each and every rep. Concentrate.
Your back is a huge muscle. Use your back to pull the dumbbells, not
your arms. This is a great exercise for dumbbell workouts or any workout for that matter!
Shoulders
Dumbell Overhead Press
You'll have to clean the dumbells into position to start this exercise.
Once you have them in position, lift them overhead and lower slowly for
each rep. Do the required amount of reps depending on where you are in
the WLC Program.
Biceps
Alternate Dumbell Curls
Alternate doing curls with each arm. Really focus on lifting the weight
with your biceps and nothing else. Control the negative portion of the
rep.
Triceps
Close Grip Dumbbell Bench
You'll once again need an adjustable bench, but you'll want it in the
flat position. All you have to do here is use a parallel grip, which
means your palms will be facing each other in the bottom position of
the bench press. Keep your arms tucked into your sides as you press
upwards. Your triceps will have to do most of the work.
Forearms
Pinwheel Curls
These are similar to hammer curls, but you'll be alternating arms much
like the alternate dumbbell curls. Simply lift the weight across your
body instead of outwards like a hammer curl, one arm at a time. So your
right arm will lift the weight towards your left shoulder and vice
versa. This is a great forearm exercise.
Use the above dumbell exercises in conjunction with the WLC System.
If you're trying to build muscle or lose fat, use a calorie surplus or calorie deficit respectively. You will make the best progress of your life with the WLC System.

Amazing Results by Chris...
"Anyway, right away in January I starting going to the gym and lifting weights. I loved it right from the beginning. There is something inside me that just comes alive - tough to describe..." "Finally, by pure luck I came across your program in like February/March when doing a Google search on "best weightlifting programs". It passed my common sense test with flying colors. Add to that what an amazing and helpful guy you are and it's been a recipe for success. I'm almost 40 now and on just one beginner program of WLC, I am the strongest, fittest and healthiest I have EVER been. I look in the mirror and I see a difference. It's definitely NOT what I want to eventually look at but it 10X better than at the peak of my ultramarathon training." "... So I tell my friends at dinner last night that the best part is I am really NEVER hungry... that I eat 6 times a day.... that I went from no pull-ups to 7 in 2.5 months... that my energy levels are through the roof... that sleep issues are no longer a problem... and I NEVER even think to tell them how much I weigh because it's really not my focus. AMAZING!!!" "... To be reading this program and KNOW the answers are right there is so nice. Nice is actually a terrible word. REFRESHING, HOPEFUL, PROMISING. These still do not do it justice. I am not a writer so it's difficult for me to put it into words. Anyway, I know this got long-winded but I wanted to tell you my story. I wish I had taken some starting pictures back in March but I will when I start my next phase in June. Thanks again Josh. Really man, I can't thank you enough for pouring your heart into this program."
