Thanks. I've been reading some of the weight training posts on here and getting lots of good info. I've been concentrating on cardio and weight machines (along with diet, of course) for the past six months or so which have been great. I've lost about ~40 lbs, and am now close to my "ideal" weight (166 lbs, 5' 11"). But I'm ready to move on...
My main question right now is that Starting Strength and Strong Lifts 5x5 are very much based on a barbell, but I only have access to dumbbells in my work's gym. Due to the cost (free!) and convenience, I'd hate to have to join a new gym. Having one on-site really gives no excuses for missing a session. So is there a good strength program that focus on dumbbells??? Obviously, a 200+ lb squat with dumbbells is not going to be easy.0 -
