Love the 3 day dumbbell workout! It has been a great step to get me started again with resistance training. I think I found a mistake in the PDF. Day 3 exercise 3 it says . One Arm Dumbbell Press, but the video links to a one arm row. I think it should be a one arm row since the next exercise is also a press. If you could let me know what is correct I would appreciate it!

Hi Josh,
Wanted to drop a quick note and say thank you for your article and workout “ Livin' Lean: 8 Week Kick-Starter Fat Loss Workout.” I am going into Week 8 and I haven’t ever felt so good or looked this good. I’m 50 and I look 30. I get people coming up to me in the gym telling me they remember seeing me come in the winter and can’t believe the transformation. I love that my arms and shoulders look better than I’ve ever had. I followed the workout and my stomach fat is disappearing, too. I’ve gone a size 38-40 to 32-34. XXL to L.

I made a goal yesterday that in a year I want to do a competition. Oh, and my Type 2 diabetes is curbed. I went from 80 units of daily insulin to 20 and now that’s too much.

Thank you.

Hi I was interested in starting the full body best routine for women. My issue is that I am working from home and using dumbells. How can I adjust some of the exercises that require using gym equipment?
If I wanted to do a split workout in 4 days which one would you suggest?
I’m 61 in pretty good shape but have osteoporosis and would like to increase muscle mass and have definition.

Hey there, thanks for 3 Day Full Body Dumbbell Workout. Couple of things:

1. I think the One Arm Dumbbell Press is listed incorrectly on Day 3 as it links to the One Arm Dumbbell Row. Is the Row the right exercise for this day?
2. My dumbbells aren't condusive to doing the Hamstring Curl. Any suggestions on how to replicate this exercise another way?
3. And finally, why are the last few exercises on each day listed at only 2 set of 8 vs 3 sets of 10? Is it okay to do 3 sets of 10 for those as well?

Thanks!

Josh,
Since I do other types of training(Martial Arts, Yoga)I believe this workout would give me the best bang without causing any over training issue.
Can I add in 10-15 minutes of cardio before or after doing the routine?

Hi
I was following your program for lean bulk(4 day of workoit per week)
But the gyms wont be wroking in my xountry for 2 week( about 6 of workouts ill miss)
Can i ,when the gyms reopens , have 5 work day per week to get back thos missed workouta( i have planned, il neead about 5 week to achieve that). So basically i am asking can i go 5 times per week in gym and have 2 rest days?

hello Josh
kindly i am writing to you regarding your program
https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/8-week-body-fat-demolition-wo...
as mentioned there that ( Weight selection should be within a 7-8 RPE on most of the exercises listed. You want to finish each rep feeling as though you have 2-3 reps still left in the tank. )
yet there are some exercises with 8-12 reps would you mind telling me what shall we do here and is it to be increased set by set ? or week after week means the 3 sets will be with the same weight? and what about the range of 8 to 12 then?

Hi Josh,

I just wanted to ask if this will be enough to achieve my goal.
Since the comment is quite long, I ve divided it into 2 main paragraphs: my info/goal and the training.

INFO and GOAL

I am a 15 year old who is trying to get a tonned physique, with a six pack and overall muscle definition. Im 174cm and weigh 57.3kg (130ibs) and my body fat % sits in the 16-19% range (measured once by using a bioempedance weighing machine at a nutritionist when I weighed 58.8kgs. The result then was 19.8% body fat but I estimate that with my current weight the % lies between the values 16-19%, as there is some upper ab definition under correct lighting conditions aswell).

TRAINING

Since I dont want to either bulk or cut, I want to try to mantain my current weight whilst hopefully gaining muscle by using the 5 Day Dumbbell Workout Split. I will be also doing some ab workout (3 times a week) after strength training (5 times a week) as well as playing tennis for 1h twice a week. It will look something like this:

.Monday: Chest, Shoulder and Triceps Workout plus short lower ab workout
.Tuesday: Legs and Core plus tennis
.Wednesday: REST (just some upper ab exercises)
.Thursday: Back and Biceps plus tennis
.Friday: Legs and Core plus upper ab workout
.Saturday: Upper Body
.Sunday: Rest

Im a beginner lifter and my parents will only let me work with 1kg to 10.8kg dumbbells. I think I will start at 4kg and learn proper form and go up from there. Will the 4kg up to 10.8kg dumbbells be enough to build muscle and achieve my goal?

Since this is getting very long, I wont talk about nutrition in this post, but I will keep my calories at maintenance (2000 to 2200) and try to eat as much protein as possible.

Thanks for your time!

Hello!
I have a question and I want some advice from you.
I train at home and I have two adjustable dumbbells and almost 100kg of weight plates.
I can not up my photos so please see here:
https://k7m8m5t9.rocketcdn.me/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/adjustable-dumb...
They are slow while increasing weight. So can I train with them because you have dumbbell routines and I have been doing one routine.
Many thanks !

I'm really lost between all these workouts. I started with 3 days dumbbell for 4 weeks so far because i dont have access to a gym right now, in a month i will, but i really dont know what to do next ? I need to lose more weight and build muscle. My goal is to get in your shape, connor murphy and jeff seid ( shallow i know). I need guidence if you please. draw the track and i will follow. Thanks.

Hi Josh ,

What program you recommend for guys with long arms ? I am 5’11” with 6’4” arm span/wingspan . I finished the 3 day and 4 day dumbbell only program you created and I am really happy with the results . I would like to put more muscle mass and now I have an access to a gym, I like the upper/lower split and want to still have an option to use the dumbbell only program when I travel or workout at home .

Hi Josh, started the 12 Week Annihilation Program, outstanding to be back in training mode,... get caught up with my wife and her fitness comps. 49 and feeling strong. Question, could you estimate the calorie burn of each of the four Upper/Lower workouts? Want to track that with My Fitness Pal food plans. Thanks Josh, Rob

I have another question what kind of workouts can I do at home to get more lean because I don’t have access to a gym.

Hey I wanted to know what I have to eat and what supplements I need to get more lean. Thank you

Hey Josh, my goal is to get lean and build muscle. I know what to eat. I know what supplements I will be taking. I used to go to the gym a lot but haven't in a couple years. I'm ready to get back to it however, my schedule will only allow me 4 days to go to the gym. Is there a workout I can do 4 days in a row to build lean muscle and get food results?
