OK

I found this book on dumbbell exercises to be fine. However, I much prefer the Men's Health Ultimate Guide to Dumbbells.

Great for beginners

Don't wast your money

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.
