Will I see any benefit from this routine?

I’ve been using moves recommended to me by a friend of a friend.
Goblet squats
romanian deadlift
Glute bridge
single arm row
bicep curl
dead bug (which I’m finding hard)

im doing this on 7.5kg and have been for about 3 weeks. I’ve upped from 3kg to 5kg to 7.5 and I’m now just about getting to 10 reps. I repeat 3 times.

I have a shoulder injury so have to be careful with anything over head and no ‘high five’ action.

any suggestions or is this good? Will I see progress? I’m always talking myself out of things so need some back up please

Yes it looks great and you are making progress and getting stronger. You're doing the right thing by gradually increasing the weight. It's a good balance of movements.

Keep challenging yourself.

Don't be afraid to try higher weight soon on the "full body" lifts: squat and deadlift.

Eventually you can progress to the barbell rather than dumbbells, if you need to add more weight to the lifts.

I also have a shoulder instability so never lift overhead.I tend to say to people I have a powerlifting focus (squats, bench press, deadlift) not olympic lifting!

How many times per week are you training?

pinkyponkyplink · 16/06/2026 06:59

I’m doing this 3x a week or every other day if I can
