Need a break from your regular routine? This 6-Week Foundation Dumbbells Program is for you. This is not a progression on our Foundation DBs I program, but a completely new and improved program based on all we've learned about programming and coaching in the last two years. Foundation is meant to provide a break from structured training to bring you back to physical and mental baseline, and focusing your training on an implement you don't usually use (or one you love!) is a great way to find fun in the gym again.
