    How tall are you? What kind of dumbbell training are you doing? Is it random or following a structured routine.

    Have you considered the Recommended Routine via Reddit? All you need is a place to do bodyweight rows, pull ups, push ups etc and just progress.

    Where are you? You could buy some gymnastics rings and then you just need a tree branch to throw them over, you've then got instant rows, pull ups, press ups, dips, static holds, tucks and Lsits - the list is endless.
