Workout Review

[grlpower]

Hey,

I've recently (about a month ago) started working out at home using this barbell / dumbell set.

I'm 28 years old, around 1.84 meters, around 85kg (I think, haven't been on a scale in a while)

For the first two weeks I worked out every day (alternating upper body and lower body) and afterwards switched to five days a week (lower, upper, rest).

I currently do two workout types (I've switched yesterday to similar alternative exercises with two 10.5kg dumbbells, but this is what it was before):

(The weights include the weight of the barbell which I think was 1-2kg)

Upper body:

• Barbell curl: 4 sets of 15 reps, 18kg
• Palms down barbell wrist curl: 3 sets of 10 reps, 18kg
• Palms up barbell wrist curl: 3 sets of 10 reps, 18kg
• Barbell shrug: 3 sets of 10 reps, 18kg
• Barbell shoulder press: 4 sets of 4 reps, 18kg
• Bench dip: 4 sets of 9 reps
• Bent over barbell row: 4 sets of 15 reps, 18kg
• Barbell bench press: 4 sets of 15 reps, 18kg
• Barbell glute bridge: 4 sets of 18 reps, 18kg
• Superman: 2 sets of 2 reps
• Chin drop: 3 sets of 45 seconds

Lower body:

• Box squat: 2 sets of 10 reps, 18kg
• Standing barbell calf raise: 2 sets of 20 reps, 18kg
• Front squat: 2 sets of 10 reps, 18kg
• Deadlift: 2 sets of 10 reps, 18kg
• Crunches: 4 sets of 30 reps
• Alternating heel touch: 2 sets of 30 reps
• Standing hip adduction: 4 sets of 8 reps
• Side leg raises: 4 sets of 9 reps
• Plank: 1 set of 40 seconds and 1 set of 20 seconds

The upper body workout takes around 32 minutes, and the lower body takes around 25 minutes.

You'll notice that I use the same weight for all exercises, I realize this isn't ideal, but with this specific weight set changing between sets would take a lot of time and is very inconvenient. I'll most likely buy another set later.

I've been noticing an improvement and muscle growth with this schedule, but was wondering if anyone has any advice or feedback.

Thanks!
