May 2019 – Dumbbells & Bodyweight
Dumbbell Workouts • 5m 17s
WORKOUT 6 uses a pair of dumbbells and premium equipment bodyweight exercises like inverted rows/pullups and dips. This routine is where SHRED meets GAINZ, baby! You'll be using drop sets for the first 6 moves, alternating between loaded and bodyweight versions of the same exercise. Then you'll use compound sets for the last 4 moves, where you perform 2 different moves for the same body zone(s) back-to-back. Expect your muscles to swell and your heart rate to spike.
- Alternate between 40 seconds of work and 20 seconds of rest for each move:
1. Dumbbell Bear Crawls
2. Bodyweight Bear Crawls
3. Dumbbell Bulgarian Split Squats- Left/Weak Side
4. Bodyweight Bulgarian Split Squats- Left/Weak Side
5. Dumbbell Bulgarian Split Squats- Right/Strong Side
6. Bodyweight Bulgarian Split Squats- Right/Strong Side
7. Dips or Pushups
8. DB Floor Presses
9. Inverted Rows or Pullups
10. Dumbbell Externally-Rotated Carries
- That’s 1 round. Do up to 3 total rounds, resting 1-2 minutes between rounds.

WORKOUT 4 also uses drop sets but with a single dumbbell at a time for more of a unilateral emphasis to correct imbalances between sides. In general, I recommend the lighter bell be half the weight of the heavier one. Most trainees will find the sweet spot somewhere in between a 20/10-pound and 5...

May 2019 – 1 Pair of Dumbbells
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...
