Summary: good book per my son
Comment: I bought this for my son and he says he has used it many times, and that it is a good book for DB weight lifting.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It's a great book
Comment: I have to laugh at some of the reviews, like the one that gave one star and says "don't waste your money". It's 10 bucks! Makes one wonder what axe they have to grind. Not surprisingly, the reviewer promotes a competing book.
I find that many of the reviews are misleading. For one thing, this isn't a beginner's book. It describes 50 different exercises in good depth, with instructions and photos, and it contains around 30 different workouts.
The photos are not too small or too blurry to see. My eyesight isn't great but I had no trouble at all. By keeping them on the small side, the book could be much more compact, which is helpful during my workouts.
The background information runs from basic to advanced. I am no novice, yet I picked up quite a few new things I hadn't known previously.
For $10, it's hard to go wrong with this book. I researched quite a few and this is the one I like best.

Summary: Don't wast your money
Comment: I bought this book and Men's Health Ultimate Dumbbell Guide. This book is not worth the money. The pictures are small. The book from men's health is the only book to own on dumbell training.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Author got lazy
Comment: I was disappointed with this book. The author is not specific with the muscles worked. He says an exercise works the triceps instead of which of the 3 heads it focuses on or the exercise works the abs and not if it is upper, mid or lower abs. Same thing with shoulders. The author doesn't state if the exercise works the middle delt or the rear or front delt. The descriptions of the exercises are also re-hashed. Every explanation of particular muscle groups exercises are basically the same with a few words changed out. It just seems like the author wanted to churn out this book wihout being fresh or specific.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great guide on safe, productive, and efficient training with dumbbells
Comment: Fred Fornicola and Matt Brzycki (rhymes with "whiskey") have written a very accessible and informative guide to dumbbell training. In addition to explaining key strength training concepts and principles and considerations specific to the use of dumbbells they provide a huge variety of routines including routines contributed by several other professional strength coaches and trainers. I have used routines in the book with my own personal training clients with excellent results. I highly recommend Dumbbell Training for Strength and Fitness for anyone who trains with dumbbells.
