AND you’ve completed the 4 day upper/lower dumbbell only workout as a form of progression? Well, you’ve asked for it and today I’m bringing you the next step in our dumbbell only workout series. The following workout, for those who only have access to a set of dumbbells, is a 5 day per week program. It can be performed by those who work out at home in their home gym, travel frequently and need a go-to program they can do at a hotel gym, or anyone really who prefers to use dumbbells over other implements at the gym.

After 12 weeks, you may want to consider increasing the volume within the workout, the weight of the dumbbells you are using, or look into facilities that offer more of a variety of weighted equipment. The program calls for you to work out 5 days per week. What days you decide to work out on are completely up to you. Just ensure that you incorporate 2 rest/active recovery days into your weekly schedule. The goal of the program is to help you build muscle. Of course, if you’d rather use it to help aid in fat loss, that is completely fine too. Just be sure to adjust your caloric intake accordingly. Keep rest periods right around the 45 second mark for this workout program.
