Males’s Well being Final Dumbbell Information: Extra Than 21,000 Strikes Designed to Construct Muscle, Improve Energy, and Burn Fats

Make your workouts something to look forward to.
It’s good to make as much in our life as simple as possible. This book will make your workouts simple. But it will also make you strong and toned and help you burn fat.Nothing beats dumbbells. I bought this book because I have a unique problem at this time and needed a way to workout but take it easy on a torn rotator cuff. I can’t lift the barbell at all because my right arm has lost most of it’s mobility. It’s coming back but it’s not totally back.So I needed a way to workout and not let my muscles atrophy. So now I can use a lighter weight in my right hand and my regular heavy weight in my left and do bench presses. No, it’s not ideal. But it works.Of course, that’s not what this book is about. It’s not for those with injuries. It’s for anyone. All you really need are dumbbells. The author even tells you the various types you can get and the advantages and disadvantages of each.To your dumbbells you will probably want to add a bench or, at the least, a fitness ball. But for a small investment, you can get all you need to get a real workout in the privacy of your home. And I mean a “safe” workout.The author gives exercises for all levels. He describes them fully and tells you how you should go about each exercise, how many reps and sets.Oh, and gals, don’t be afraid to buy the book. You have muscles too.This is a great resource and I highly recommend it to you.- Susanna K. Hutcheson

Too Much Fluff, Not Enough Meat
First, this is a solid book. The information provided is all accurate, to my knowledge, and organized reasonably.The problem is its emphasis on numbers of moves instead of good form. The author will list a scant 4-5 bullet points describing a basic “master move” like the squat and then spend 15 pages describing different ways to tweak it to create more variations, “new moves.”This is way out of proportion. There should be much more discussion of the basic move, guidelines for doing it safely, techniques for keeping body in proper form, etc. To be fair, the author does occasionally include a safety tip, but IMO, far too few. For some moves, like the bicep curl, this approach may be fine, but for more complex moves like the squat, lunge, deadlift, etc., a few bullet points feels totally inadequate. There needs to be way more information on stance width, leg posture, back posture, breathing, cadence, range of motion, proper weight selection, etc.If you’re a beginner, this is not a safe introduction, and if you’re an expert, I doubt you’ll learn much. Do you really need to be told you can do a bicep curl seated on bench, seated on a swiss ball, one hand at a time, both hands at once, one hand constricting while the other is relaxing, overhand, underhand, standing, etc. And then it’s this same list of variations repeated for each exercise, usually with no additional info specific to the core exercise. It’s obvious that one can do most of those same variations with the preacher curl. It’s just so, so much repetition and fluff.Now, all of that said, I actually do like the book. I had a trainer years ago and know generally how to be safe and lift responsibly, and I got the book to remind me of exercises and variations. If you’re like me and just want a refresher with a few new moves, it’s good for that. Just be prepared to skip a lot of pages.EDIT: I read this on my Kindle. So when I say, “15 pages,” I mean Kindle pages. Also, I recently read “The Great Dumbbell Handbook” by Potvin, and while it’s only 1/4 the size, I think it provides more actual instruction on how to perform core dumbbell exercises correctly. It’s definitely better for beginners, with its emphasis on form and safety.

Great book !!!
If this book had even half the variation ‘s in it I would have been dancing in the streets. But Mr. Murphy gives you even more ( much more) . He reminds me of Charles Poliquin in his writing. And of Bill Pearl in that he gives you many variants to the same exercise. As a home trainer at the moment it really helps .Chapter six is particularly interesting. Schedule’s for your skill level is provided and is well put together. In my particular case this book has helped me find the right angle using dumbbells to still work for strength.

New ideas.But basics of breathing rhythm while using etc should also be explained.

Great item and just the best service
