But before I buy the book I was wondering if y'all could answer some questions for me.

Do I need a gym membership?
Can I use only dumbells?

Just wondering because the gym memberships in my area are crazy expensive...

    I'm only in Stage one so far but I'm doing my workouts at home. I already had nesting dumbbells (can be adjusted to go from 5 to 45 lbs) so that's what I'm using. The book has modifications to some of the workouts to accomodate working out at home.

    Go for it!!

    I'm only on stage one but I workout at home. I have a barbell and dumbbells, but you can youtube the exercises for variations using different equipment. I use resistance bands to do the cable machine work.

    As long as you are lifting as much as possible for the reps you are doing you will see progress, Later on in the stages when you are lifting a lot heavier it may be good to have your partner or someone be around to help move weights into position but I work out all alone and its working for me
