- Using a single pair of dumbbells, you’ll build serious pump in your arms in a workout that you might finish in half an hour. The best part of this workout is that it’s effective regardless of whether you’re using incredibly heavy or incredibly light dumbbells for the movements; this is due to the variable rest periods in the workout. If you use lighter dumbbells, you’ll organically end up with very short rest periods. If you use heavier dumbbells, you’ll take longer rest periods that let you recover just enough to keep going. The simplicity of this workout lets you do it anywhere, whether you’re in a full gym with access to multiple sets of dumbbells or a hotel with a limited supply of gear.

- For an exercise to work the glutes and hamstrings without lifting from the floor, the good morning could be used as an alternative. Place the bar on the back of the shoulders as if preparing for a barbell back squat. Instead of squatting, flex at the hips in a hinge pattern, keeping the spine neutral and elbows high, and avoid rounding the upper back. Once the torso is parallel to the floor, extend the hips to return to the starting position.
