May 2019 – Dumbbells & Bands
Dumbbell Workouts • 4m 56s
WORKOUT 5 uses a pair of dumbbells and a single resistance band. Besides the split squats which combine bells & bands in the same set, you'll first perform each move with dumbbells, rest 20 seconds, and then perform that same move again with bands. Following a dead-weight exercise with a band move for the same body zone is a great way to spark new growth. The muscle pumps are quite precious so consider this some classic bodybuilding baked into a full-body fat-burning circuit.
- Alternate between 40 seconds of work and 20 seconds of rest for each move:
1. X-Band Split Squats- Left/Weak Side
2. X-Band Split Squats- Right/Strong Side
3. Dumbbell Overhead Presses
4. Band Overhead Presses
5. Dumbbell Bent-Over Rows
6. Band Seated Rows
7. Dumbbell Hammer Curls
8. Band Hammer Curls
9. Dumbbell Overhead Triceps Extensions
10. Band Overhead Triceps Extensions
- That’s 1 round. Do up to 3 total rounds, resting 1-2 minutes between rounds.

WORKOUT 2 is a classic beach-body pump circuit. Though it's still a whole body workout, it has an extra emphasis on the upper body so you can go suns out, guns out for the summer. Start with a pair of 10-25 pound dumbbells and slowly build up from there. Since there's a little rest time between m...

WORKOUT 3 uses dumbbell drop sets so you'll need 2 pairs of dumbbells: 1 heavier and 1 lighter. Drop sets give you a blend of strength & stamina, work all of your muscle fibers, & arguably deliver the most time-efficient fat loss & muscle gain workouts ever! In general, I recommend the lighter pa...
