Dumbbell and barbell home based workout. This is a workout you can do at home, just using a set of dumbbells and barbells. The workout is designed to build muscle and strength.
This is a 3 day home workout, so it's best for a Monday - Wednesday - Friday schedule. Each workout should take about 1 hour to complete. Abdominals have not been included, you should aim to work them twice a week with 2-3 exercises.
To get the most out of this workout we recommend you follow a bulking diet consisting of over 3500 calories per day and a lot of protein and complex carbohydrates.
