Upper Dumbbell Training is a program developed by trainer Eddie Lomax that primarily uses dumbbells as training tools. This is one of the best “anti-bodybuilding” dumbbell training guides out there.
Most dumbbell training guides feature the same old boring workouts. However, Trainer Lomax mixes it up with a variety of unique exercises, such as dumbbell swings, snatches, and cleans. These are exercises he won’t see in most dumbbell fitness guides. Besides the unique exercises, it is the structure of the program that is truly unique. Coach Lomax takes you through three training phases. The three phases of the program consist of:
- slow lifting supersets
- Explosive Quick Rise Timed Circuits
- slow and fast peripheral heart action
- Dumbbell Combo Arrays
Each phase incorporates more difficult exercises, each time taking your body to new levels of fitness. Each workout is followed for 4 weeks before moving on to the next workout. So 4 workouts, done for 4 weeks each, 3 phases equals 48 weeks of training!
So let’s move on to the actual review part. I needed to tell you what the workouts incorporated to illustrate how much variety there is in this program. There are really only two ways to progress with any training program: difficult exercises and intensity techniques.
The more exercises you know how to perform and the more intensity techniques you incorporate into your training, the fitter you will be. Most of the training techniques taught in the market are related to bodybuilding.
However, there is absolutely no one who teaches athletic and functional training techniques and exercises like CoachLomax does. This is truly a unique dumbbell fitness guide. There’s no time for boring isolation work in Coach Lomax programs.
