Feedback on Program (using dumbbells only)

Postby mench on Thu Sep 02, 2010 1:52 pm

I started this program about 1 month ago. I had to modify it slightly because I only have access to dumbbells and I needed to do a 3-day split. Please provide feedback. For each of the exercises, I am working until failure at 8-12 reps. Each day takes about 45 minutes to complete. I also run ~2 miles and play soccer once/week.

I am 45 years old, in decent shape, but want to improve strength, body shape and overall fitness to get ready for a ski trip this winter. I have seen very good progress in both performance and appearance, but I wanted to get feedback from more informed people.
