Beginner strength and hypertrophy program with limited equipment, created by Josh England for Muscle & Strength. https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/3-day-full-body-dumbbell-workout Day 2 calls for dumbbell hamstring curls, which I can't find in the database. As day 2 already has lunges and deadlifts, I've opted to replace the hamstring curl with bodyweight pull-ups.

Who it's for

This program is built around a dumbbell only. Make sure you have consistent access before starting, since the progression model assumes you can perform the same movements week over week.

Each session typically takes around 30 minutes to complete. That estimate covers your working sets but doesn't account for warm-up or rest between sets, so budget a little extra time when you're first learning the movements.

The program runs for 8 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.
