@alpinewithb Completely understand about the time cost of going to a gym. Doesn’t sound like it’s worth it in your case because strength isn’t your limitation. Rings would be a cheap and effective way to create more of a max strength stimulus for your upper body. And attaching those dumbbells to yourself for pullups would work well too.

Re: Easy Strength, you may not have access to enough resistance to do lower body movements; lunges with both dumbbells sounds like the best you could do with your current setup. I wouldn’t see this as a problem though, because leg strength is presumably not an issue for you.
