Its jusy really annoying man. Ive been at 69 kg at 5 11 still my love handles become smaller but really round still and a slighy buldge on my stomach.

No mattet how hard i try my stomach and love handles and chest fat dont go away https://imgur.com/a/M12dh0J I lost weight through diet and cardio alone now started a little bodyweight training. Why is my love handle so round ?

I read the convict conditioning and will probably base my workound that. Its a great book.

How far can it take me? Once I hit 3x10 I will do diamon push ups then planche pushups. I can do 11-8-4 for now Il buy pull up bar too and start with negatives. Im not sure how to do legs . Can I build a good upperbody just with bodyweight?

Im going to start working out(stopped due to many issues) and am getting a powerblock 5-90 lb and will get normal dumbbells post that to save space(prolly till 150lb). How big can you get with solely dumbbells and a pullup bar? Im thinking of doing dumbbell training for a year and a half then go to a real gym and do barbell training. so the routine I mapped out says to progress after I hit 12 reps on the first set. Problem is after 90 lb Il be having 10 lb jumps on the dumbbells, do I shoot for more reps? another issue is on the heavier set for chest press, will it be an issue getting the dumbbells in place? I keep reading it can cause injuries.

the price seems pretty reasonable here https://www.amazon.com/One-Pair-Adjustable-Dumbbells-Kits/dp/B0087T8UOE but it doesnt ship to india, any tips on sites that sell this to india?

hey I stopped working out due to problems but am buying many dumbells (Im a dumbell guy lol) and I will try your method when I start again

How much does a good power rack cost? ?

a transporter will transport dumbells to my place, I am gonna buy 5-50 kg first and as I get stronger, will buy another set the programme I want to follow calls for dumbell deadlifts and dumbell squats, is there a programme that includes bulgarian split squats and single leg deadlifts? can you link me if you have one? I have a spacious room where I can fit all my dumbells and a bench. Its either that or a barbell set up but I prefer dumbells as I feel I can isolate a muscle more(If am not wrong) and I can bench safely all alone.

I prefer a dumbell set up over a barbell set up. I really like the safeness of a dumbell. Legs is a concern. I dont want to have the biggest legs in the world but passable atleast. I was thinking of doing a barbell routine but im giving dumbells another thought. My Q is about weight lifting straps. For dumbell squats, will my grip be better with it? Will it atleast be 60 % of results what a barbell back squat would be? And am also getting dumbells till 100 kg. The seller told me he can make how much ever heavy dumbells i want so even deadlift will give me maximun results right?

Yea i understand that. But i always have this fear I wont progress as per the programme . Do i pick a weight where i can only do 5 reps and fail after that or do i leave 1-4 reps in the tank? Also i have a routine i picked out...i dont know how good it is, i will post the routine in a bit. It tells me to to hit 15 reps on the compound movements. Do i start where i can do 7 to 8 reps and work up to fiften for one set and add weight the next session or do i pick a weight that hits 15 reps all sets. How do i progress? Il just find the routine and post it Edit: heres one i found https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/dumbbell-barbell-mass-workout.html but how do i progress and what weight should i pick edit again: oh yeah this is intermediate too Edit: https://www.jefit.com/routines/workout-routine-database.php?id=24445 heres another one i see that hits all bodyparts 3x a week but same questions Edit: https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/dumbbell-only-home-or-gym-fullbody-workout.html this is a routine i want to follow something im confident i can understand(as i worked with dumbells b4) can i follow thia progression scheme and just replace dead lifts and squats with barbell equivilent?

Im reading on all the programmes and everything seems way to complicated, i was following a dumbell ppl routine but family emergencies came into the way and I stopped. My god are dumbell routines easy. Im reading on 5/3/1 and im getting so confused. When do I add the weight? and how do I figure out my one rep max? esp on benchpress....can I use dumbells? all programmes are confusing me. It seems tougher to progress. Is it because I never did barbell training on my own? Whats an easy programme to follow man. By easy I mean my brain can understand, not the lifting part being less taxing.

What can I do to not feel hungry?. Im trying to use portion control and eating lots of protien. I tried bulking but a specialist in diets and working out said im putting on some fat on my face. So as a sort lf beginner i know i can build some muscle on a deficit. Im not counting calories. Just using portion control. Drinking couple of shakes to meet my protien goals.

Everywhere the highest dumbells in a gym goes to 100lb or 120 lb. Would that much(i have a while to go there) be enough for a good chest? Im asking this as i workout alone so not spotter for press I keep seeing ppl reach 400lb and stuff on a barbell. Would 200lb for reps be enough to build a good chest?

Lol have started bulking on a dumbell based routine. Il gain some muscle over the year then cut later. Im enjoying the proccess

I workout at home. I live in a building and i use someone elses gym. Im planning on working out in a fitness studio. I and i guess many gym newbies have this fear of being judged. Any tips of overcoming this fear? Would just getting in there and doing it be the only solution??

hey i am doing dumbell stop gap routine from reddit. I have made my own modifications by including barbell rows Ez bar curls and hammer curls with dumbells. Also i will start using some rope pushdowns as im joining a gym. I just really like working with dumbells more lol. I can use it till i stop progressing right?

Hey yea i do understand progression is king. But he did his own programme....i was under the impression you have to follow a starting strength type programme. I will ask him today what exactly he did lol.

The worker at my home had a great body. Just did whatever he wanted. Just proggressed on weights. He told me to lift heavier than b4 and thats it. Hes illiterate so he cant read programmes and stuff but had an exceptional body. So does progressive overload on your own routine work?

Hey guys i dropped the trainer and have started working out on my own. I bench 40 kg with dumbells can only do seven reps. Should i wait till it gets light b4 moving up in weights or should i go ahead this week and lift heavier dumbells. Also...after 25 kg dumbells i straight have 30 kg. That seems like a big jump. Should i wait till 25 becomes to light then move on to 30 kg dumbells? Will it work like that?

Hey i just wana bump this thread to ask if bulgarian split squats are better than goblet squats?

Thanks for the replies guys

I do use barbells too but with a trainer. For squats im just really scared I wont progress and be like a pussy on my own lol. Same with bench press. If i can lift it off the rack then i could probably do 1 rep right?

Im working with a trainer right now but i want to venture out on my own. I love dumbell based excercises as i find it safer than barbell excercises. I tried squats on my own and panicked when i had to re rack the weights and i also have no idea how to figire out my 1rm I feel if i can get in the gym and atleast do dumbells on my own and some lat pull downs i can follow it without pissing my pants lol. Im currently working with a trainer which helps me get confidence ro workout with barbell but as i wana do on my own ...are dumbells enough to make a good physique?

So over the years following a good diet i have become skinny fat. I have 12 inch arms flexed. Should i continue to cut...will i gain size in my arms. And how often should i take measurements to gauge progress? I look ok in a t-shirt. A guy after looking at me in a t shirt gave a 3500 cal diet lol but i have 22 percent bodyfat on that bodyfat scale. Will i gain muscle if i continue to cut?
