I am genuinely curious how you plan to deadlift with dumbbells

Also, why only dumbbells

Also also, why only three times a week

Also also also, why such light weight

Also also also also, why full body at once

I didn't plan to deadlift, I planned to do this list

Ignore the weights, I just copied it off the website. I'd increase all the weights proportionally to my maximum once I balance out

Only dumbbells because my apartment gym doesn't have much except dumbbells and cardio

Three times a week because I have a demanding job and am pretty busy after work too. I just want to get started, would definitely consider increasing eventually.

Full body to stay in balance if I have to randomly miss a day due to work etc, and because I genuinely enjoy full body workouts better. They feel more satisfying

Will this get me any gains (after increasing the weight of course) or do I need to go to a real gym for their barbell racks and dumbbells just aren't enough?

"Stiff Leg Deadlift" is the second thing on that list.

Doing a fuckload of isolation exercises for hypertrophy will get you something, not as much as if there were a healthy amount of heavy compound lifts in there, but it's still something.

Also, the reason people typically go for an upper body/lower body program is that they can spend more time on specific body parts. That list has like two leg exercises. A shitload of muscles are in your legs. I also see maybe one chest exercise, one lower back, etc. Also crunches are fucking pointless.

If you really want to do full body you're going to have to add a lot more exercises in there, which defeats the purpose of doing this to save time. A lot of these "articles" make up random bullshit workout programs and pretend they appeal to a niche to get clicks and ad revenue, despite them being lazily designed and inefficient.

It's better than nothing, though.

Oh, that one - with a dumbbell in each hand

And I guess you're right

So forgetting about this particular workout that I posted entirely - is it possible to do a decent workout routine with dumbbells only? Or are dumbbells just not enough. Just to tide me over for a few months before I join a gym

I'd say do some heavy compound lifts with enough weight for about 4-6 reps, then doing some assistance work. Like, doing dumbbell bench press 4-6 reps, then pectoral flies and skullcrushers for 8-12 reps. That's just an example.

I'd at least do 2 upper and 2 lower body days in a week. It should get you on the right track so you have a better idea of what to do once you join a real gym.

If you haven't tried strongman style dumbell clean and push jerk you should, it's not a bodybuilder's exercise but fuck is it fun
