Heya I've moved recently and all of my good gym gear I've either had to sell or store as my place is pretty tiny. Right now I am working with some dumbbells, a pullup bar, a wavemaster punching bag, a stool (for dips), and of course the floor.

First off, thanks for the advice on pullups. I've been doing pretty well in this area because of it. Greasing the groove and assisted pullups helped alot in getting my muscles back to where I can do multiple pullups (and increasing!) again.

Now my question. Is it possible to do a good morning type exercise with dumbbells safely?

The reason I ask is I can do a standard good morning with the barbell well but obviously I don't have access to one right at the moment. I like this exercise (it really works the glutes and lower back well) alot and was noticing those areas not being worked in my humble regimen. I've had a tendency to injure myself when working out before so I like to take things slow and careful now making sure I do things correctly. Is there any way to use dumbbells for this? I was thinking something along the lines of using a lower weight and resting them against my shoulders...

If you're trying to target the lower back and glutes, why not do deadlifts with the dumbbells instead?

That's a good idea.

I haven't done many exercises with just the dumbbells (aside from curls) because I had a barbell at home. So I had to look that up:

Thanks again!

Yes maam! i'll do whatever you want. Can I see the exercise from behind?(uh , for better understanding)

What was she demonstrating again?

LMAO I had the same thoughts. It was the first hit on search though and she seems to know what she's doing so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone (show I found the technique and provide a nice visual).

I'm pretty much a noob at life when it comes to any type of physical training and martial arts so finding this site has been literally a Godsend for me!
