Dumbell Only workout?

[sumusikoo]

can i get good results only by using dumbbels? (obviously with progressive overload)

[mward26]

Start with food. You put it your mouth and swallow. Then progress to lifting.

There isn't one set thing that works for everyone.

i believe that was not what i asked.

you can make some progress....but how will you squat/deadlift?

[jbball92]

yes you can. would suggest gym though. I guess goblet squats could work for a while.... and you can use DB's for deadlifts too

squat deadlifting ARE NOT the only exercises that gives you good gains. i recognize that they are important and that they give good results but not doing them / doing them with lower weights will still give good results if i got a good routine. yes i agree that i could gain more mass faster with decent weights but doesnt mean i cant still make good gains out of it

[RedSoxBrah]

Why can't you get a gym membership? Just wondering.

have fun buying new dumbells every 2 weeks.

Sounds like you know what you're doing...notsrs

Squats and deadlifts are the best overall body exercises, yet you say you don't need them.....100 lbs go figure.

please show me where i said that. and no you dont need them to grow lol or everyone would be deadlifting and squating only and they would be like they are now. But yea you dont need them , they just help you you dont necessarily need them.
Oh man your such a badass with that avi nice mass u got on u. atleast i got the guts to say my real weight and post a pic (im near 130 lbs now). and Weight =/= knowledge. or want me to call a whale to the thread?

i dont buy dumbbells , i buy weights my dumbbells are the kind that you can keep on adding weight. lot cheaper than having to keep on buying weights.

[mward26]

Or....here's an idea...kinda crazy though. Go to a gym! Like it's this new invention!

130 lb neg'd kid trying to say how to weight train. Amusing

Or...here's an idea... kinda crazy though. Learn to read! I stated why i aint going to the gym above!


No Avi And Probably E-Statting neg'd kid trying to say that deadlifts and squats are a must have and that you wont grow if you dont have those in your rotine

[mward26]

I never said they were required to grow.

Thanks for the neg btw...but you need to start eating more to start with. You aren't going to get stronger with food. Once you get a good diet then you may proceed to a good lifting split. As a Newby you should try 5x5 or a full body 3x a week

yea i know , im eating like a bear now i've gained 16 lbs in a month. altho abs nearly dissapeared but they arent a problem. 5x5 would be madcows which you need barbells and stuff. wouldnt work i guess. and fullbody would work but i want to target well each muscles with atleast 6-9 sets so it would be a huge fullbody routine..

[nainchik]

Yes, you can get results with dumbells and progressive overload. May be not that good compared to a barbell routine, but still pretty good!

Just make sure when you'll have access to barbells, you'll use it.

Yes.

It is POSSIBLE. I worked out for a year without barbells ( Condo gym, only has dumbbells and ****ty machines ).
Got to 150 lb, 10% BF, 5"7.

BUT if you can get a gym membership where you can do compound exercises, I really suggest you do so.

Compound exercises are really important, I regret not working into them during that 1 year, mainly because of weak grip, slow strength and muscle progression.

Thanks thats Inspiring because 150 lbs is my main goal atm.
Could you tell me which routine you were using please?

[BBNobu]

You're welcome! mm typical BB split.
Monday, Chest and Triceps,
Tuesday, Rest
Wednesday, Back and Biceps
Thursday, Legs
Friday, Shoulders.
Sat Sun = Rest.

My diet was clean chicken, salmon and eggs. Cheat meal once per week.
This worked for me, but do your research and make your own routine to progress the best way you can.

Good luck
