May 5, 2016This is not the book for me. I'm out of shape and trying to find a weight training routine I can do at home with only dumbbells, preferably with an upper body day and a lower body day that progresses over time.
This seems to be focused for people who are already in decent shape and trying to improve. I have sore knees, and there's too much lunging and jumping and squatting, and I didn't see alternatives listed - just 'start slower' if you're not already in 'moderate' shape.
I only spent about 15 minutes looking through it (yay, library), but the list of workout routines didn't make much sense or give much guidance on when to do them (like week 1 just lists 4 workouts and no clue how to fit 4 in with a rest day in between each - so which two do you do back to back?) Maybe it's in there, but it's not in the workout chart, and I couldn't find it skimming through that chapter. It also seems heavily focused on lower body - the workout chart had all lower-body days, and all-over days but no upper body days I saw.
