Men's Health Ultimate Dumbbell Guide: More Than 21,000 Moves Designed to Build Muscle, Increase Strength, and Burn Fat

i have been a gym goer on and off for the past 16yrs, what used to put me off was the free weights and weight machines with the big gorillas hanging about them! i always felt self contious and found it off putting, was i using the correct weights? was i doing the correct method? just negative vibes, also i got bored sitting on the same machines day in day out until i found this wee book, thousands of excersises, explained so even an idiot like me can understand! i now go to the gym looking forward to trying out my new workouts which i have created myself, oh and did i forget to mention i have lost 13kg in weight and finally getting some definition on my torso. BUY THIS BOOK FOLKS!! i promise if your willing to put the effort in you wont be dissapointed. ps pay attention to the combine and conquer excersises, they will give you pain!!!

Good book. Exercises have a touch and added different styles/methods to them, e.g., bicep curls can be performed many ways than the traditional few techniques. I recommend buying it. Although you don't have to practice all, but you will have the idea what extra you can do with your home dumbells.

This book is great for anyone who wants dumbbell workouts. Covers everything really, and having intermediate variations as well as beginners versions, means the exercises are suitable for beginners and advanced alike. Photos are black and white but clear enough to follow, and detailed " how- to " for each exercise is very clear. Easy to follow.This really is a great book. The only reason i have given 4 stars is simply because of the cover which says "mens health" at top of title, this could be off putting to many women, who may overlook this book ,thinking it is for the men. But listen up ladies, i am an experienced weight lifter and also a 49year old lady, and muscle is muscle regardless of gender. Would definitely recommend buying this book.

Covers absolutely everything needed

Very good book. Worth the money

This book is okay. I think I expected more theory and detailed explanation of each exercise but it's fairly minimal. The main thrust of this book is not the individual exercises, it is the way the author combines them into super-exercises. I'm only a beginner so haven't gone past the beginner exercises but when you compare this book with any one of a number of popular Youtube clips showing the same exercises, you realise how much better it is learning from video than from a book.

Exactly what it claims to be, has a good variation of exercises to do and explains how you can adapt them to change up the routines a little too. Great book, would recommend to anyone who's looking to start out with dumbbells, even people who have had them a long time could probably learn a few things from this book. As a beginner I didn't know where to start but this book has so much packed in from what dumbbells you can use to how to personalise your dumbbell routines. I'm still trying new things from this book every time I use it!

This book is good in that like most books it shows exercise that target all your muscle groups. But goes overboard by doing the same exercise but incline, flat, kneeling, standing, etc etc. Apart from that and the cost an ok book

Perfect Book for Strength training enthusiastics, Arrived in excellent condition though it is a used book

Overly waffly with far too much reference to thousands of tweaked exercises that are no more than a twist away. The chapter "everything in the right order" very telling as he lists a load of exercises with no diagrams, and referencing muscles you've never heard of... Would it have hurt to provide diagrams here to give some idea to the new dumbeller? I wouldn't recommend this.

Really like this book. Gives a great intro to dumbbells. Beginner, intermediate exercises. Excellent dissection of the specific exercises. Easy to figure out what you want to do, but does take a bit of reading. With balls, benches and/or stairs. I think this book can not only get you started, but also provide the challenges to grow.

Easy to follow with good photos of the exercises. The workout routines are very helpful for beginners.

Awesome 👌
