Our take
As someone who trains with dumbbells regularly, I found this book a valuable resource. The second edition updates exercises and programming, with clear illustrations that make technique easy to grasp. Allen Hedrick covers everything from basic lifts to advanced routines, and the training principles are science-backed. The paperback format is sturdy and lies flat, which helps during workouts. My only critique is that it assumes some foundational knowledge—beginners might need extra guidance. Also, it's text-heavy in spots. Still, for $14.99, it's a comprehensive guide that earned a spot on my shelf.
