What to do after CLX? Dumbbells exercises?

Francl27

I'm half way through the third phase of CLX, I can't say I've noticed any result as I was eating at a deficit anyway, but I've lost 3.5% body fat in the last 3 months (lost 10 lbs too), so I'm pretty happy about that.

I'm just not sure where to go from there. I was thinking of just sticking to the program (probably phase 2 as the workouts are shorter and seemed more efficient overall), or just write down some exercises and do series of 8 reps with heavy weights... Any suggestions? Is there a website somewhere that would give a full body workout with dumbbells? Mine go to 45 lbs.

You might try checking out Women's Health Big Book of Exercises from the library. Kind of a cheesy title but I thought it had some interesting exercises and workout plans that might give you some ideas.

As for routines, you could look at reading into Starting Strength or Stronglifts, then alter the exercises to fit with dumbbells.

I.E - Bench presses can be done with dumbbells, as can overhead presses. Squats ca be done with the dumbbells held to the side or you can do alternative squats like Goblet squats.

You can also include bodyweight exercises if needed to supplement your routine.

I second this. I was just thinking of this post when I read the OP topic.

I like this one. I add things to it occasionally. Also really like the thread that was previously linked. Lots of info there.
