1001 Dumbbell Exercises: A Compendium of Instructional Drawings 1860- Present

A fascinating "pulp" style book of dumbbell exercises by a leading Physical Culture historian, Alan Radley. Containing a vast compendium of instructional drawings, it's a one-of-a-kind survey of health and strength development using dumbbells. Showcased are unusual muscle building, stretching and contraction movements, including "lost" exercises that are little practiced today. And if variety is the spice of life, then there is certainly enough variety to spice up anyones routine.
