Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Way too long a delivery schedule   February 16, 2005
 9 out of 47 found this review helpful

Any book that has a delivery date of 1 to 2 months is way too long a delivery schedule for the average consumer. I wish I could rate the content, but I am going to cancel the order because I found out later the estimated delivery would be that long. Too bad for both sides - the buyer and the seller.


4 out of 5 stars Useful. Worth purchasing. Glad I did.   September 15, 2004
 12 out of 12 found this review helpful

Good for a fairly wide audience, though perhaps not for experienced strength trainers or weight lifters. Simple, clear, unpretentious explanations of how muscles work, how to establish a fitness routine, and so on. For the various dumbbell exercises themselves: good pictures / illustrations with accompanying text / explanation. I use this book more for dumbbell alternatives for what is a mixed bodyweight, dumbbell and barbell program. But I would highly recommend it to someone just getting started or reacquainted with strength training. Just lots of useful information, well organized, and hype-free.

After waiting for months, Amazon.com recently informed me that:

"We are sorry to report that we will not be able to obtain the following item from your order:

Mark McKown "Complete Body Development With Dumbbells"

Though we had expected to be able to send this item to you, we've since found that it is not available from any of our sources at this time. We realize this is disappointing news to hear, and we apologize for the inconvenience we have caused you.

We must also apologize for the length of time it has taken us to reach this conclusion. Until recently, we had still hoped to obtain this item for you."



5 out of 5 stars Great beginner's guide to dumbbells   February 8, 2004
 21 out of 23 found this review helpful

It's amazing that dumbbells enable a person to engage in a full body workout. If you work out at home and have limited space, a set of dumbbells and this book will get you started. The book is written so that even beginners will have no problem getting started. Half of the book discusses the advantages of dumbbells versus other resistance training devices, workout routines, and the general science behind muscle development. The other half of the book is devoted to dumbbell exercises. The exercises are fully described, and have accompanying pictures visually describing how to perform the indicated exercise.

What the book did not have was an index. Although the book is short enough to flip through to find the specific topic, an index would have alleviated the nuisance of having to flip through pages.

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in training with dumbbells.
