This challenge will be done strictly with dumbbells. Some of the BFL exercises don't have very many that can be done with dumbbells, so for those, I'll be doing exercises from one of my Joyce Vedral workouts (either the Fat-Burning or Weight Training Made Easy workouts). I'm starting out at the low end with weights.. All I have are 1, 3, 5, 8 and 10. Gonna get some heavier ones in a couple weeks. Here goes:

4:30 am..
UPPER BODY-

Chest:
Dumbbell Bench Press - 12 reps 3 lbs
Dumbbell Bench Press - 10 reps 5 lbs
Dumbbell Bench Press - 8 reps 8 lbs
Dumbbell Bench Press - 6 reps 10 lbs
Dumbbell Bench Press - 12 reps 10 lbs
Dumbbell Flyes 12 reps 8 lbs - I think I hit about a 9 at this point. I'm sure I could have done more, so next time I'll try using 10 lbs

Shoulders:
Seated Dumbbell Press - 12 reps 3 lbs
Seated Dumbbell Press - 10 reps 5 lbs
Seated Dumbbell Press - 8 reps 8 lbs
Seated Dumbbell Press - 6 reps 10 lbs
Seated Dumbbell Press - 12 reps 10 lbs
Side Raises - 12 reps 8 lbs (HIT 10)

Back:
One-Arm Dumbbell Rows - 12 reps 3 lbs
One-Arm Dumbbell Rows - 10 reps 5 lbs
One-Arm Dumbbell Rows - 8 reps 8 lbs
One-Arm Dumbbell Rows - 6 reps 10 lbs
One-Arm Dumbbell Rows - 12 reps 10 lbs
JV's Reverse Bent Dumbbell Rows - 12 reps 8 lbs (HIT 10)

Triceps:
Dumbbell Extensions - 12 reps 3 lbs
Dumbbell Extensions - 10 reps 5 lbs
Dumbbell Extensions - 8 reps 8 lbs
Dumbbell Extensions - 6 reps 10 lbs
Dumbbell Extensions - 12 reps 10 lbs
Lying Dumbbell Extensions - 12 reps 8 lbs (HIT 10)

Biceps:
Seated Dumbbell Curls - 12 reps 3 lbs
Seated Dumbbell Curls - 10 reps 5 lbs
Seated Dumbbell Curls - 8 reps 8 lbs
Seated Dumbbell Curls - 6 reps 10 lbs
Seated Dumbbell Curls - 12 reps 10 lbs
Hammer Curls - 12 reps 8 lbs (HIT 10)

That was the hardest workout I've ever had to do. It wasn't a bad one - quite the opposite - as I felt very refreshed and energized afterwards. It was just .. verreee intense! It took longer than 45 minutes .. almost an hour. I wonder if it would hurt to shorten the rest periods in between. Hmmm..
