This routine is ideal for intermediate to advanced lifters who prefer home workouts, need a reliable workout for spaces like hotel gyms, or favor dumbbells over other equipment.
This final installment in the series is designed as the last step in a progressive journey, where each program builds upon the previous one by gradually increasing the number of workout days each week, thus increasing the overall volume of your training.

Would add an ab day and a trap workout. Like what it manages to accomplish with just dumbbells

It's great if you have only Dumbells to work with

Pretty good. It would be nice to add more variety to the lifts for someone with only a bench and dumbbells. Been great though!

Pretty solid program. I was limited to accessing a full gym and this program saved my gains. I did minor changes like adding bodyweight and more trap and arms work bit bedside that I followed the program. Maybe it's not the "best" but does the work with limited equipment.

Great at home lift. Would add in an abs workout for a more total body.

This is a decent program. I completed the 5-day program before starting this one and realized very quickly that I had to reduce the weight because of the added volume per muscle group.

Easy start for those who want to get back to lifting at home with limited equipment. I would have loved to see some new exercises as the weeks progressed. I have made alternating leg arm lifts in place of hip thrusts due to neck position. If you start this program you may see good results one month in. Keep going.

I don't have a declining bench, I was using my couch at first. I decided to say screw it and just add 3 more sets of normal bench. It's been working pretty good.
