We are selecting five compound exercises — one movement for each major pattern:
- Upper Body Push: Dumbbell Bench Press
- Upper Body Pull: Dumbbell Bench Row
- Upper Body Overhead Press: DB Shoulder Press
- Lower Body Pull: Dumbbell Deadlift
- Lower Body Push: Dumbbell Squat
You’ll complete 6 sets of each exercise before moving on to the next.
This entire workout uses only dumbbells but produces maximum strength, stability, and nervous-system recruitment.
📚 Set Structure (6 sets per exercise)
Sets 1 & 2 — 5-Second Eccentric Reps
- 5 seconds on the way down
- Explode up
- Should hit failure at 6–8 repsThis builds control, tendon strength, and raw power.
Sets 3 & 4 — 5-Second Pause Reps
- Drop down quickly
- Pause for 5 seconds at the bottom
- Explode up
- Should hit failure at 6–8 reps
This teaches stability, tension, and perfect positioning.
Sets 5 & 6 — Tempo Speed Reps
- Quick, clean reps
- Full range of motion
- Go to failureThis lights up the nervous system and finishes the muscle completely.

Slow down, take your time.
