re: Help me design some bodyweight workouts I can do in my garage

What's wrong with pistol squats?

push to row with the dumbells
dumbbell cleans (jerk too)
dumbbell snatchs
thrusters with dumbbell
dumbbell rows

can of course work dumbells in with squats, lunges, situps etc


jump squats
step ups on the bench

a jump rope and a kettlebell can go a long way, too. KB swings and jump rope are good for getting the heart rate up. could add some band workouts too

My weighted jump rope is clutch as fuuuuuuck

With Dumbbells

Bent over row
Super mans
Thruster

Check out buff dudes DIY on youtube and build a set of parallel dip bars. They can be a real asset. I think making a pullup bar would be a real asset too. You can also build a 3 in 1 plyo box for jumps and weighted step ups. Dumbell lungewalks, step ups, and one legged squats will hit your arse hard if youre not used to it, even for seasoned lifters.

You could do a routine where you lift 3 days a wk- increasing the dumbbell weight by 5 lbs a wk
Mon-
Dumbbell step ups - 5 sets
Dumbell lungewalks- 5 sets
Bent over dumbell rows- 5 sets
Dumbbell Shoulder Flys- 5 sets

Wed-
Dumbell powercleans into overhead press- (like a thruster from a deadlift start)- 5 sets
Dumbell overhead press- 5 sets
Pushups to failure- 3 sets
Pullups to failure - 3 sets

Fri-
One legged squats-
Jump squats or plyo jumps-
Dips- failure
As a circuit for 5 sets

Dips (get two folding chairs)
Squats
200yd sprint
Bicycle crunches on bench
Incline push ups (use folding chairs)
Leg raises on bench

Is that you, bro?

thanks for the tips guys

I went home and created 5 circuits and put them on a white board and hung in the garage

the plan is to pick 3 circuits and keep rotating them

we might add some more later

we did 3 last night with no breaks and it was a really nice 15 minute workout

You left out reverse sear.
