Dumbbell based strength training

I’m going back to the gym as soon as they open back up (Melbourne) because I miss having a dedicated space for strength work. Also, the kettlebells and the heavy barbells for deadlifts. Pretty much everything else I can do at home with a bench, resistance bands and a single dumbell that takes up to 35kg of plates. The bands cost like $3 from Kmart…

Key exercises for me have been single-leg squats, lunges, banded pushups, DB rows, and bridge and plank variations. My posterior chain has been somewhat neglected… If you’re going to do this long-term, find DB alternatives to exercises you’ve been doing based on movement (squat, lunge, hinge, push, pull)
