Heavy single-leg strength in 43 minutes: three dumbbell circuits of three rounds, plus a five-minute no-repeats lunge finisher.

Day 46 of HR12WEEK 5.0 is a lower body strength session built on challenging unilateral exercises that target one side at a time. After the warm-up come three circuits of 40 seconds on and 20 off, three rounds each, lifting heavy for around 12 reps. A five-minute no-repeats lunge circuit finishes it, then a cool-down. The video runs about 42 minutes.

Equipment setup

🏋️ Dumbbells

Who Is It For?

Experienced lifters with a mat and medium to heavy dumbbells who want a demanding single-leg leg day.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal for beginners or if you have knee or balance problems: kickstands, side lunges and lunge variations are demanding.

Key Benefits

Builds leg and glute strength and helps even out the two sides with heavy single-leg work and Romanian deadlifts.

Things to Keep in Mind

Choose weights you can control for about 12 reps, keep your knee tracking over your toes on lunges and stop if your knees or hips hurt.
