Let's Take A Look At How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?
Hi folks
Tonight we are checking out another new sports anime by the name of How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift.
Ok so first off, I hadn't looked into the anime, it was just one on crunchyroll that I saw in the sports section.
Oh jeez I really wish I had read up on it before watching it with the Missus 😅
There's some mad ass scenes in this anime that had me howling and my Missus looking at me rather disapprovingly. So for those of you who have seen, no judging as you've watched it too!
The story starts with high schooler Hibiki Sakura, on a after school grub run. The gluttonous young lady is confronted by her best friend Ayaka Uehara about her ever expanding waistline much to the shock and horror of Hibiki.
With Hibiki now having to face the embarrassment of her over eating, she tries several attempts at exercising on her own. But this leads to repeated failures, failing miserably time and time again. With the feeling of failure still fresh, Hibiki decides to join the brand new Silverman Gym that has opened.
Year of release: 2019

My rating: 7/10 at this moment as I am only on the second episode so far
Hibiki attends her orientation at the Silverman Gym and ends up running into another student from her school. It is the perfect Akemi Souryuuin, the student council president and the school idol for her perfection.
Hibiki was expecting a shiny new gym full of old people working out. Much to her shock she has stumbled into the world renowned gym for bodybuilders and athletes. To add to her shock, Akemi turns out to have a serious muscle fetish!
Hibiki is totally grossed out by the scenes she is seeing, that she decides she has had enough and it's time to leave. On her way out she is stopped by one of the gym's trainers, Naruzou Machio. Falling head over heels with her new dream man, Hibiki rushes into signing up as a gym member of the Silverman Gym. The following scenes had me howling with laughter!
Now that she has signed up she has to live with her moment of madness and heads into the great world of weightlifting!
There is even bonus weightlifting information which was pretty cool regarding the different types of exercises you can do.
Now onto the art style, it is a very solid style, not too bright but a very fun looking style. Some of the scenes are amazingly detailed, with bulging veins in biceps and all sort!
This comes to a point at 13:39 into the very first episode, hilarity ensues!
One of my favourite parts of anime is most often the awesome opening and closing tracks. Now this series really doesn't let us down with a cracking opening song and entertaining video. The more I watch it, the more it entertains me and is just a bit silly.
Now the ending song and video is just as mad! Chibi Mucsle Men is the way to go folks, just pure entertainment and joy from this song and video.
Muscle Muscle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man I really hope this song gets stuck in your head like it has been mine!

Ohhhh I'm now a bit curious of how detailed the exercises are.. I'll try to give it a watch, maybe it will be fun. No disapproving look on my side though LOL
It teaches proper form for exercises in the gym and at home
It's actually amazing!
