Men’s Health Ultimate Dumbbell Guide covers just about everything you ever wanted to know about dumbbells, and is definitely a great addition to any home gym.
The book is divided up into three parts. The first part, the truth about dumbbells, explains all about the different types of dumbbells. The second part, the master moves, makes up about 80% of the book and shows you the exercises you can do with a dumbbell which includes lots of pictures and instructions. Finally, part three, a million moves for your muscles, essentially provides the reader with tips and suggested routines.
In this book, Myatt Murphy, a fitness expert and longtime contributor to Men’s Health, shows readers how to use dumbbells to develop just about every part of their bodies. For anyone who believes that dumbbells can be used only for arms and shoulders, Myatt Murphy proves them wrong. Featuring 200 photographs, Men’s Health Ultimate Dumbbell Exercises demonstrates how to perform a total body workout and get maximum results. There are exercises here—lunges, squats, dead lifts, curls, shrugs, kickbacks, presses, and more—that develop abs, arms, chest, legs, and shoulders, along with innovative new ways to get the most of this versatile piece of strength-training equipment.
Discover the easiest, most inexpensive way to build muscle strength, size, and power turns out to be the best, with this supremely effective guide for using dumbbells or hand weights.

Good pictures
This is a great book for dumbbells. You get exercises for beginners as well as intermediates. However, I would say that this isn’t really a book for beginners.
