Book Review: Dumbell Encyclopedia
Summary: 5 Stars
The author is a Marine and earned his degree from Penn State. He has written over 350 articles and numerous books on fitness and strength training. One of his works is a book upon which my strength training program is built upon, Maximize Your Training, which is one of the most important books in bodybuilding in my professional and personal opinion.
Maximize Your Training
When I saw that he authored a book about dumbbell training, I knew his style and knowledge would truly give the most comprehensive information available. Starting out with the history of dumbbells, the advantages and disadvantages of this method of training, and the extensive training details related to technique and safety, this book is the definitive text on incorporating this fitness equipment into your lifestyle.
A section broken down by body parts emphasized with black and white photographs, techniques and technical/physical limiting considerations are covered.
There are numerous exercise routines that are outlined depending upon whether you work out 1 to 3 days a week. He covers exercise myths regarding sports specific training and other myths of core training with exercise balls and balance boards.
His key theme is effective workouts with an emphasis on safety.
I highly recommend this book.
Summary of Dumbbell Training for Strength and Fitness
This is not your conventional how-to book. With an emphasis on safety, it thoroughly covers all aspects of proper strength training while simultaneously debunking certain myths and misconceptions such as explosive training and sport-specific training. The book shows how to perform nearly 50 exercises with dumbbells in a safe and effective manner. Unique to this type of book is the inclusion of more than three dozen dumbbell workouts that have been submitted by approximately 24 strength and fitness professionals from across the USA.Bodybuilding & Weight Training Books
