DB Swing Replacement?

[GetHuge50]

Hi yall.

One of my days in my begginer workout is as follows:

Squat 2-3 x 5
DB Swing 3 x 10
Bent Row 4 x 6
Barbell or Dumbbell Curl 3 x 8
Calf Raises 3 x 15

For the DB Swing, does anyone have any idea of what I could replace it with? (I work out at home btw so I dont have a machien for Glute Ham Raise or no cables).. Or should I keep it like that?

To op, Your routine looks like it's not hitting shoulders, so I'd recommend throwing in some form of shoulder press: military, seated, push press, etc. Also, you're not hitting chest, so dips, bench press, or incline press as well.

No, I did those in the other 2 days, thats just one day of the routine..

Ok, so what's your whole workout on a weekly basis, and what are you trying to achieve? That will dictate a suitable replacement.

That's a pretty solid routine. Honestly, with the db swings you could either leave it in or get rid of it. It's more of a power exercise that I don't think will contribute much in the way of muscle gains.
