Some of the more experienced lifters here will be able to give you some concrete advice on the workout, but iv found in the past when equipment is limited it helps to employ creative methods to increase intensity.

Supersets, circuits, depletion type stuff. Just some ideas.

You'd probably have to give a bit more information regarding your diet to get some useful advice from people, but as long as you are getting enough carbs to fuel your workouts, enough fat to support hormone production, and enough protein to build muscle there really isnt much to it. Elite level athletes are the ones who benefit from complex dietary strategies, so the best thing to do is drill the basics when it comes to nutrition iv found.

I wouldnt recommend working your upper body 4x a week while only working lower body 1x. You are neglecting half of your body going 4 to 1, upper to lower. That's a pretty common beginner mistake though, I was the same way before I came here and learned.

Not sure if guys around here still recommend the program but I have had great results using the BGB routine that used to float around this forum.

A lot of people come onto the site asking for advice on dumbbell-only routines.

Most of the time, the advice is 'you're going to struggle.'

It can be hard to get enough weight to really train your lower body using only DBs.

Why are you limited by your job to only DBs? You in the military? On an oil rig?

I was going to ask the same question. Why can't you train at a regular gym? I have a few exercises you could add to your routine.

You never stated your goal?

As the others asked, why can't you go to a gym?
