Dumbbell P/P/L (Push, Pull, Legs) is a beginner routine that only uses dumbbells and a pull up bar, which is great for people with limited access to equipment.Required Equipment-Dumbbells: You will need a range of dumbbells or a pair of adjustable dumbbells.This routine is not a practical option if you only have a single pair of dumbbells.-Adjustable Bench: If you only have a flat bench, replace incline fly with flat fly on push day.-Pull-up Bar: Every gym should have at least some place to do pull-ups. If you are working out at home, buy a simple door-mounted bar. Progression-Do as many reps as possible, but no more than 12, for each set.&nbsp;-If you are able to perform all three sets for 12 reps then move up to the next available weight on the next workout.&nbsp;-If you use the same weight and reps on an individual exercise for three consecutive workouts, deload the weight for that specific exercise by two increments for the following workout and work your way back up.

The r/fitness Basic Beginner Routine 3x5 variation is a three-day routine with only five new movements. This routine is best framed as a “training wheels” routine. The primary goal is to be a simple, easy to follow routine that will help beginners get into the gym, start training with the standard barbell lifts, and build a habit of going to the gym consistently.Alternate between Workout A and Workout B, leaving one full day of rest between each day of lifting.Progression<ul><li>Add 2.5 lbs (1.25 kg) to the upper body lifts (Bench, Overhead Press, Row, Chin Up) each day you do the lift.</li><li>Add 5 lbs (2.5 kg) to the lower body lifts (Squat, Deadlift) each day you do the lift.</li><li>If you do more than 10 reps on your AMRAP set, add 5 lbs (2.5 kg) / 10 lbs (5 kg) instead.</li><li>If you fail to complete at least 15 total reps for a lift, deload by subtracting 10% from the weight the next time you do that lift.</li></ul>
