SWOLE: 8-Week Dumbbell Program

Build muscle. Keep showing up.

Some days you have an hour. Some days you have twenty minutes. SWOLE gives you a clear plan for both.

This eight-week dumbbell program combines focused lifting, bodybuilding work and short conditioning circuits to help you build strength, muscle and a routine that fits your life.

Choose the workout that fits today

Who it's for

Busy people familiar with basic dumbbell movements who want purposeful strength and conditioning without needing a full gym. If you're newer, start light, use the substitutions and skip the optional day until recovery feels good.

What you need

Dumbbells, a timer, floor space and a wall. Adjustable dumbbells or a lighter and heavier pair are ideal. A stable support for rows is helpful; a bench is optional.
