Back squats and deadlifts are both unreasonably effective, and impossible to load sufficiently with dumbbells.

Yeah, this is my problem. I love deadlifts. I even have a bar and several hundred pounds of plates. But they sit under junk in my garage with no hope for unburying them until next year. I have 100lbs of adjustable dumbbells but that's just not the same for me. But in either case the energy and motivation are just not there. I used to love the gym or even working out at home but now meh.

  • Are you done losing weight? It will probably feel better to go back to maintenance calories than to be in a deficit. And consider lowering your dose, gradually.
