Gaining muscle mass with isolation

Andzmoore

The only gym I can access is a local hotel gym. My problem is it’s limited for machines it has a full range of dumbbells weights up about 75kg and a bar. How ever there is no squat rack or a bench press rack so both those exercises are out their is a leg press and leg curl machine and also a lat pull down. And also there is a chest press machine. I am wondering will I be capable of improving my overall muscle mass with such limited equipment or is it nothing to worry about

Obviously the more stuff you have access to the better but realistically you can dumbbell press instead of benching and you've a few alternatives to squats in a rack so you could still build a lot, are you a beginner?

Tbf people have built amazing physiques using no equipment at all, it's far more down to a good plan and hard work than what machines etc you can use.

Jesus what an odd gym. What kinda place supplies 75kg dumbbells but no squat rack!!
But answering your question, yes you will. Do as much as you can with the dumbbells. For every barbell movement, there’s almost always a similar excersise with a dumbbell you can do.
With dumbbells You can goblet squat, Romanian deadlift, overhead press, floor press, shrugs, rows, lunges, and various arm work. There’s probably another dozen

The old Total Fitness had 65kg DB's but I've never seen 75kgs.. I'd have loved to have had those back in the day.

OP you can do very well for yourself using machines.

And agreed with whoever mentioned that 75kg DB's and no rack is a bit odd.

So you could replace the axle and wheels of your trailer with it?

you've got more than enough at your disposal - go do the work, train your ass off daily and get stronger, never saw a guy doing 30kg dumbbell walking lunges and didnt have decent arms and legs
