Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.I work out 4 or 5 times a week, and I love using dumbbells. This book does a great job of explaining some staple exercises. The extra material about goals, workout routines, and so on are also pretty detailed and right on. There could have been more variations of exercises--I'm thinking of the arm in in particular--and the "Common Errors" sections were repetitive to the point of being annoying, but this book is a good place for beginners to start.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.This is a pretty good guide to weight training using barbells. The exercises are well-laid out and easy to follow. The idea is to lay out an exercise program for yourself. I think the photographs could have been a little sharper, and the book needs an alphaabetical index to be able to find things more easily, when the book transcends from a read to a personal reference volume. I do like the listing of common errors in exercises, as many of us would not haveany intuitive knowledge about this.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.Dumbbell Training is a book about, well, training using dumbbells. It presents a large number of exercises, some modifications from barbell exercises and some specific to dumbbells. For each exercise, there is a detailed description of how to perform the movement as well as common errors. In the beginning and end of the book, the author presents routines and schedules for beginners, seasoned lifters, and specific sports.
The book is well written with many very useful photographs. The exercises are realistic. Having a list of common errors is a wonderful idea and one I have not seen in other weightlifting books.
My biggest complaint is the routines in the back are mostly for specific sports such as sprint cycling. Yes, there is a 1-week introduction routine and a general muscle-building routine, but I would have liked to see more routines for the general public, like me. Still, this is a valuable book to help someone (like me) get back into shape.… (plus d'informations)

All in all I think that this is a pretty good book. I think that dumbbell training is definitely a good way to workout, but people should also keep their minds open for other types of workouts. Every type of workout has its advantages and disadvantages. The cost of the dumbbells could be annoying if you dont have a lot of money, but the physical aspects can be rewarding.… (plus d'informations)
