Dumbbell Training for Strength and Fitnessis not your conventional "how-to" book. With an emphasis on safety, this book thoroughly covers all aspects of proper strength training while simultaneously de-bunking 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 country including Jeff Friday (Baltimore Ravens), Ken Mannie (Michigan State University) and strength coach Dr. Ken Leistner. In addition, this book takes an in-depth look at training that offers individuals from beginner to advanced the opportunity to maximize their workouts in a safe, ef-fective and efficient manner like no other.
