I’ve always found it weird that no one seems to treat dumbbells in the same way as kettlebells. Eg just having or or two and doing more work them. They seem to mostly only be used in a gym setting where increments are essential and used for isolation exercises.

I’ve personally done simple circuits with a pair of dumbbells and found it to be a great quick and effective workout.

Almost like complexes but with only usually three lifts.

Eg, with a pair of dumbbells:

5 RDL
5 military press
5 bent row
x 6-10 rounds

Or

5/5 reverse lunge
5 press
5 row
x 6-10 rounds

Only takes about 10 minutes. Could easily be done on the minute

I’m actually on the lookout for a pair of 20-25kg dumbbells to have at home for this exact reason.
