I'm a big proponent of dumbell routines. I've designed one that has been very effective for me. I've fallen out of shape a bit because I thought I was going to switch to a yoga/weights mix, except I ended up going to a 1 yoga session/week routine, which does little except keep me from being a total sloth. I really need to get back into a routine... this thread is encouraging me.
Chi's suggestion of the bent-over row I support fully. It is a very effective exercise when done properly. Let me know if you want me to post my "dumb routine."
