Want to see what Dumbbell Workouts can do for you?

Want to discover the SECRETS behind your BODY BUILDING BELLS?


Pull up a chair, as you're about to discover some muscle building magic from yesteryear - some magic that will put you onto the road to GREATER GAINS and an amazing physique!


Dumbbell Workouts - why nobody does them and why you should

When most folks think of dumbbells, they picture a pair of rusty bells stashed in a neighbor's garage or buried in a parent's loft. A spur-of-the-moment purchase, these muscle building tools are cast aside in favor of a gym membership, or worse, a sedentary life crashed out in front of the television :-(

However, what few folks realize, is how EFFECTIVE a muscle building tool dumbbells can be!

Think you can't build SERIOUS MUSCLE and the STRENGTH to go with it using bells?

This is a common fallacy, and one I hope to disprove!


Dumbbell History

For our proof, we need to revisit the turn of the last century. The place? A smoke-filled Royal Aquarium in London, England.

On stage, two men do battle over a glittering prize. At stake, the honor: 'The Strongest Man on Earth'!

The victor of this battle was a young German, aged 22 - a young man whose physique was likened to 'a living statue', and 'sculpted from marble', such was his muscular development. Unlike the typical strongman of his day, this young fellow was to outperform his foe in confident, modest style, much belying his tender years...

The young German's lifts that evening, were to include a mighty clean and press from the shoulder of 250 lbs (the young fellow was to later better this to 315 lbs) in addition to other daring strongman feats, such as snapping an iron chain with the flexing of his considerable chest.

While mightily impressive, what makes this story all the more incredible, is that this young German built his amazing strongman physique primarily using DUMBBELLS!

This young German was the godfather of muscle building, Eugene Sandow.


The Mighty Sandow - light dumbbell training

Eugene Sandow was to forge his remarkable physique using light dumbbells.

A keen student of biology, he fashioned a system of training that was the first of its kind. (Sandow stressed the importance of consistent, PROGRESSIVE exercise - two VITAL muscle building principles!)

These training methods - such were their efficacy - were later adopted by the armed forces with amazing results; and soon, the ordinary fellow in the street was to adopt this style of training into their own lives! This pleased Sandow greatly, as it was his cherished dream that strength, health and fitness be available to all...

Sandow's dumbbell workouts achieved this and MORE!





Dumbbell Training - the benefits

So what can this style of training do for you?

Consider the benefits:

  • Lose FAT
  • Gain MUSCLE
  • Improve STRENGTH
  • Increase ENDURANCE
  • Look YOUNGER
  • Feel YOUNGER
  • Better HEALTH!

These benefits are achieved by following PROVEN muscle building principles. Indeed, it was commonplace for many of Sandow's students to make spectacular gains FAST!

For example, 3-4 inches ADDED to a chest measurement, or 4-5 inches taken OFF a trainees waist - results that were often achieved in WEEKS!

And remember: some of these GAINS were realized using dumbbells weighing little more than 5 lbs!!


Dumbbell Routines

Dumbbell Routines - the kind that deliver on their promise of MUSCLE BUILDING coupled with STRENGTH - are no different to traditional barbell training in their protocol...

Furthermore, ALL dumbbell exercises should be mass-builders, i.e. compound exercises, thus yielding the best results in the fastest time.



An excellent Dumbbell Routine would be:
  • Dumbbell Rows
  • Dumbbell Press
  • Dumbbell Power Clean
  • Dumbbell Deadlift
  • Dumbbell Pullovers



And for an abbreviated Dumbbell Routine:
  • Dumbbell Power Clean and Press
  • Dumbbell Pullovers

Or

  • Dumbbell Deadlift
  • Dumbbell Pullovers

In Summary

If you're looking to build muscle and lose fat, while BUILDING a strongman physique, Dumbbell Workouts will do it.

A glance backwards to the turn of the century shows what can be achieved by following a simple, yet EFFECTIVE system of training.

So why not drag those dumbbells from your loft, and get yourself onto a Dumbbell Workouts Routine?

Your body - and your growing muscles - will thank you for it!
