I live in a small apartment and there's no gym nearby. Is it possible to construct a full workout using only a bench, dumbells and bodyweight?

you willl lack in the legs. You need a barbell to do heavy leg stuff. Even if its just deadlifts. Better get some halfrack and do squats
You can get dumbbells that take weight plates like a barbell does.
Yep, it's possible, but you might want to add a pull up bar. Have been doing it for about 2 years now and didn't lose too much mass from the 4 years of gym before.
You need long dumbbells and sufficient weights, though (I have 2x55kg).
While standard squats and DLs are better obviously, you can still substitute them with bulgarian split squats and romanian DB deadlifts.
So long as you buy plate loaded adjustable dumbbells and not those bowflex memebells, it shouldn't be too hard to keep making consistent gains.
This looks great, thanks.
Yes. Just remember you can have a bed or you can be a winner.
IT'S A FUCKING MINDSET
yes, I have an angle changable bench, a pull up rack with lots of features for different things, and dumbbells and barbell with interchangeable weights.
can do pretty much everything I want to
The absolute madman
nice room brother
Jow Forums in a nutshell
Only a bedroom or an entire apartment? Mine isn't very large but I can still fit in a smaller bench, barbell stands, barbell and maybe 400lbs in plates by sacrificing my living room.
i am jealous of you room right now
>piss bottles
Disgusting.
I'll wager you don't have women come over very often. Nice books tho.
Is it really you?
You litterally only need bodyweight, something to do chin/pull/archer ups on, dumbbells and a bench.
It will cost you less then 50 dollars.
Based and checked
holy shit he actually has piss bottles
Not him. This pic was re used, I kinda miss the guy, any updates?

Cool story but can you still do all that with just dumbbells? This is important.
>Body weight exercises are legit.
You can gain a lot. Shoulder ups next to a wall, incline weighted push up, pistol squats, chin ups, pull ups, and much, much more.
Use the dumbbells to work arms, back, shoulders and or use it to add weight to your body weight workouts.
Get a pull up bar.
Get some 70lb sandbags.
A jump rope.
You can buy a barbell with 300lbs for maximum gains off of Craigslist for around $150 if you look.
>I work out at home, only gym I go to is a martial arts gym.
Bullshit, OP do lunges, Romanian deadlifts, and calf raises and your legs will be fine. You won't be as strong as you would be with barbell training, but you can absolutely get better-looking body with dumbbells.
>with you hands on your pocket
Or with your hands on your dick for that matters
Those workouts seem a bit short, I usually like to go for an hour a day, with one focused segment of the body (chest, arms, legs - in that rotation) and am considering picking up a cycle like this. What are the advantages/disadvantages?
Scooby, as much as I love him, has some strange methodologies. He uses really slow reps (like 4+ seconds per). You're genuinely better off doing a proper barbell routine if you have access to a gym.
