WOW is it hard to find good women’s strength training books.

And I really mean that. In 2024, I’m still finding female fitness books written mostly by men, many with sexist language, that are outdated, poorly formatted, or just don’t use good exercises.

As a certified personal trainer who knows what good training looks like, I was very picky about these book selections. These are strength and conditioning books I’d feel comfortable recommending to a friend or family member, as well as use myself. And, of course, have exceptional reviews from others.

Looking for a bicep workout with dumbbells that will challenge you, increase bicep strength, and give you the muscled arms you’ve been wanting? You’ve found it.

Below is everything you need to know about training your biceps. From bicep workouts for every fitness level to the 15 best dumbbell bicep exercises, your arms aren’t going to know what hit them.

I wrote this post because I used to be ashamed of my arms when I flexed my biceps. Now, I’m incredibly proud of the definition I’ve built. And I want the same for you.

Let’s get to it.

If you’re here to find the best calisthenics books to accelerate your badass bodyweight training goals, you’re in the perfect place!

I first became interested in calisthenics when I realized I couldn’t do a single pull-up. (This will never cease to bother me, as I had been a personal trainer for years by that time!).

After I stumbled along through training and finally mastered my first one, I became fascinated by what our bodies are capable of. And calisthenics just hits different than lifting heavy weights or – dare I say it? – even being able to run far distances.

Can you tell I was a cross country runner for a large part of my life?

There’s something so crazy cool about being able to lift, support, and manipulate your own body. Having the control and strength do perform calisthenics exercises makes you feel so empowered.
