Viking's Bare Bones Series 5 day split adaptations

[asjdkiasjdsa]

I was wondering if these changes to the program are fine. If not, what would be a better alternative using dumbbells/barbell only?

Straight-arm Pulldowns/Facepulls - 3 supersets - 40 reps each ----> One-arm dumbbell row/Lateral raise

Lying Leg Curls - 3 sets - 30 reps ----> Dumbbell leg curl

Close-grip Puldowns - 3 sets - 35 reps ----> Dumbbell row

Cable Crossovers - 3 sets - 40 reps ----> Dumbbell crossover

Overhead Cable Extensions - 3 sets - 35 reps ----> Dumbbell triceps extension

I know Viking doesn't typically like his routine to be altered, but I'm assuming you want to make these changes due to no cable machines.

Straight-arm Pulldowns/Facepulls - 3 supersets - 40 reps each ----> One-arm dumbbell row/Lateral raise

For the straight arm pulldowns, the DB row could be ok, if you keep your elbows tucked close to your body. I think another movement that would be similar would be straight arm DB pullovers. For face pulls, lateral raise is NOT the right alternative. Facepulls work the posterior head of the shoulder. Do bent over DB raises/flyes to Target the back of your shoulder.

Lying Leg Curls - 3 sets - 30 reps ----> Dumbbell leg curl

This should be fine

Close-grip Puldowns - 3 sets - 35 reps ----> Dumbbell row

You are changing a vertical pull to a horizontal pull. Just do more pullups. Do them weighted if necessary.

Cable Crossovers - 3 sets - 40 reps ----> Dumbbell crossover

Should be fine

Overhead Cable Extensions - 3 sets - 35 reps ----> Dumbbell triceps extension

Should be fine
