I have a set of 15 through 50 lb pairs at my house (gym quality) is there a good book or web site that is dedicated to strictly training with dumbbells?

Hmm Pretty well Everything you can do with a Barbell, you can do with Dumbells. I don't know of a Specfic Book or Site, but I can give you quite abit since I like to use Dumbbells over Barbells anyways (helps me not to cheat with one side)


Chest:

Flat Press
Incline or Decline Dumbells Press's
Flat or Incline Flys


Back:

Bent Over Dumbells Rows.


Tri's:

Kickbacks
Overhead onehanded Extensions
or my Fave, take a Really heavy Dumbell, and hold it over your head with both hands, and come down as far as you can, and the push back up.

Bi's

Well this should be easy enough http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Standing Curls
Seated Curls
Concentration Curls
Hammer Curls


Shoulders:

Dumbell Press's (similiar to Military press's)
Side Lateral Raises
Front Raises
Bent over raise's (for Rear Delt's)

Traps:

Shrugs.


Legs:

well you can Do lunges with Dumbells, or even squats but put your arms infront of you and Put the weight on your arms. Or simply hold 2 dumbells to your side.

There's an old school book by Bill Pearl called Getting Stronger. It has a bunch of dumbell exercises in addition to other things.

gives you dumbell exercises for each muscle group

thanks

i only do dumbells when using weights. there is nothing better for symmetry. although you have to be a little extra careful with your rotator cuff muscles (superspinatus sp). the extra extension you can do on presses will really strain these muscles.. and yes i know from personal experience and am doing rehab for just that.
