Dumbbell Only Leg Workout For SIZE (This is No Joke)

We had such a great response to all the other dumbbell only workouts that we had to do legs. In this video I will show you a 5 exercise leg workout only using dumbbells. If you do this right you can grow some very nice legs in no time. I know that you might not have heavy dumbbells at home so if that's the case you will just have to do more reps and sets. I explain that all in the video.

Great series sir. I think most guys who only train with a barbell would be surprised by how much progress they can kickstart by focusing on Bulgarian Split Squats and Single Leg Romanian Deadlifts on their second leg day of the week.

[@JustSomeDude31]

I love the Bulgarian Split Squat, incorporated it 1,5 years ago into leg workouts thanks to a lower back injury. Always did them with 2 dumbbells, 1 in each hand. It also resulted in me being able to do pistol squats :D. But since holding 1 dumbbell can be focussed more on teardrop or vastus lateralis, how would holding 2 dumbells work into this?

[@carloslewis1283]

No hate John, love all your videos in this series but do you have a more difficult set of exercises that I could do, because I only have 20 pound dumbbells and I don’t want an extremely high rep range

[@JustSomeDude31]

@@carloslewis1283 You could do slower reps and pause at the bottom perhaps. During quarantine, I did the same and I bought some resistance bands eventually to add some extra resistance. But I bet John knows more about all of this so who knows maybe he has some golden eggs left to throw at us :P

[@vc737]

Hi John can you make a video using dumbells or barbell hack squats if not access to a hack squat machines.

This is a yo-yo channel. Cmon man

[@johnwig285]

@@imdannymartins At first i watched Ryan. His info is totally opposite of what the hypertrophy protocol is about, preaching very high reps above 20 reps & advocating for non-traditional exercises. Check out Sean Newalnyj, he has addressed this issue. Another KZbinr also talked abt how Humiston didnt build his physique via the method that he preached. The reason why ppl like Humiston is due to his short videos.

Same man. I’m working on creating a home based routine with DB’s, adjustable bench & bands since I have a feeling gyms will close again by fall. These videos as well as Ryan Humistons have been a great resource for exercise selection

[@Oh6Torch]

I started my garage gym in 2017. I had a few dumbbells and a bench. I’d perform the Bulgarian split with 30, 35, and 45 lbs dumbbells. As soon as I bought a squat rack and barbell set, I gave up dumbbell leg exercises. I didn’t want these exercises to detract from my squatting numbers. It was a huge mistake. No squats have ever had the same affect as Bulgarian split squats. It feels as though there is broken glass interwoven in the fibers of your butt cheeks muscles the following day. Another great and informative vid John. Thanks!

[@nazriniskandar]

There’s a lockdown currently and I’m a powerlifter and can’t squat, I squat 4 plate but just doing the Bulgarian split squat with 50-60s dumbbell each make me couldn’t walk for 5 days straight seriously 😂

[@leecoplandsingingtips.2198]

Have been loving all these videos. I live in a small farm town and there's one gym, always swamped with people, so I made a setup in my garage. Dumbbells have been a core to my routines. Over the last few weeks I've definitely felt more from my workouts just by mixing these workouts in. Thanks for posting these for us!

[@dingo4010]

I'm an Aussie in lock down , just ordered some dumbbells and a bench, waiting for them to arrive. Of course I'm gonna watch a mountain dog dumbbell training video as tribute to the great man. Not gonna lie though, when Alexander came on with the yo yo trick I almost choked up. RIP mate

Been working out 20+ years, no matter what I did , I just wasn't getting bang for buck on squats. Hips are wonky, legs didn't bend that way. Tried going back to basics, tried free form, even watched platz and glass tutorials.....nothing. Finally started reverse lunges with dumbbells......bingo, goldmine. Legs blew up. Squats aren't for everyone

[@kennyalv]

What kind of workload are you doing with the lunges?

[@BOBANDVEG]

@@kennyalv just got to 50# dumbbells. Lol....I work everything to 20 reps, so when I started 50s I was already doing 10 reps out the gate. I really feel that they paid me in full for all the years I was suxing at squatting. I'm doing 5 sets, at 3 min intervals (that's work and rest total), with a 50# dumbbell in each hand. I had to work to get it there. But its waaaaay easier on my body, and it works just as good
