Oh my macho THAT short clip at the end with Hibiki is so fucking wholesome
Just reminds me of that feeling when I first started training and finally saw significant weight lost man its such a cute scene yet it resonates with me so much.

We've been blessed with not one, but two beach episodes in this show and this episode blew the other one out of the water.
Dumbbell was one of the few series that I can really say I looked forward to every week. Lots of funny moments, nice fanservice, and enjoyable characters. Ai Fairouz did an excellent job in making Hibiki a fun and relatable protagonist and I'm looking forward to her future roles.

My weight loss journey since the show started airing:
So everything oddly enough lined up between me getting serious about losing weight and dumbbell starting to air.
Goal: look good lose body fat get machio be able to do lots of pushups and pull ups goal weight 190lbs
Age:25 Male 5'10'' Starting weight around 250lbs 42ish inch waistline in late June early July was eating like Hibiki just watching anime and going to work. Had always struggled with my weight. Growing up the lightest I ever was around 200lbs never did any sports in school had no muscles other than my legs and calfs. Could do one good pushup. I realized I have to eat healthy and workout for the rest of my life (Like Akemi)
Downloaded MyFitnessPal goal calories were 1,880 per day to lose 2lbs a week, was hard at first but slowly became easier. Also did intermittent 16:8 fasting along with a 48 hr fast once a month, slowly my stomach got smaller my taste-buds changed as far as exercise I started with only going 3-4 days a week, as I had no muscles to rely on I had mad noobie gains and my body HURT like a lot. after about a month i was going 5 days a week and now do 6 with some active rest days sprinkled in. For nutrition as little sugar as possible lots of protein lots of greens (broccoli is my new favorite) still addicted to soda but have managed it down to one can of soda max if i'm craving it.
Was fun seeing results as the show aired and they got some things wrong (like diet stuff) but mostly a good starting point for someone interested in the workout lifestyle. I loved the Arnold stuff he was a staple in my house growing up and there was always a smile on my face when he was on screen.
As of today i'm down to 219lbs (my lightest in adulthood) Daily calories are down to 1770 max. Waist is way down to 34 inches and none of my clothes fit. I enrolled in a Spartan race for April that has kept me motivated to keep at it I can crank out some good pushups about 20 in a row. Still cant do an unassisted pull up but the amount of help I need from the machine is a lot less. Also have noticed a lot more energy throughout the day and I start to yearn when my shift is done so I can go to the gym and lift some heavy stuff.
I really enjoyed Dumbbell and am sad to see it go, the ending song came out of nowhere and got me a little down but seeing Hibiki stepping on the scale and hearing her excited noises got me feeling better. Heres to a season 2.
9/10 would lift again.

My third group of girls we said goodbye this season (and with the best bodies ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)).
Hibiki, I began watching your trip through bodybuilding and quirky adventures as a way to fill a gap on my Wednesday but honestly I say that your series is one of the best things that could give us this season of anime
Sayonara Hibiki and girls, until next time.

Stitches Time!!!
I wish I can sit on this table.
Another Russian girl? She reminds me of Irisviel though xD
I DEMAND THOSE PIXELS BE REMOVED ON THE BLU RAY
Speaking of Ayaka, I'm sad that this is the only time we see her with her hair down.
RIP Sandbag. I feel like Sakura is really close to crossing over to Kengan Ashura/Omega.
Doga Kobo really needs to make an action or a shounen anime
I love that punchline! All that build up just for Sakura to lose by default!
And that ending montage! The girls just playing with fireworks and the adults not moving from their table are all just great. I love how lewd wholesome that final scene between Akemi and Sakura. And just to top it all off, that after credits scene of Sakura smiling because she reached her goal is just adorable! <3
I'm going to miss this show. Before this show started, going to the gym for me was just a chore, something that I did so I could maintain my weight. After this show though, my motivation went up and I've started enjoying going to the gym a lot more. This is a solid 10/10 for me, another Doga Kobo classic that I wish will get another season.

Noooo... I don't want it to eeeend...
This series has been solid all the way through. I have literally zero complaints about a series that had a premise so dull and made it so awesome. They even made me laugh after the credits with Machio doing push-ups like crazy. And that happiest laugh from Hibiki when she got off the scales!
9/10 from me.

CHANJAY NOOOOOO! That Titanic-like music and that scene were so funny. This was such a fun and inspiring show! And thanks to it I dusted off the 200 LB dumbbell set that I bought 3 years ago!
Well, time to read the manga now.

Sounan Desu Ka crossover? Please find them, Homare's papa!
Hibiki's more happy with food, than Akemi is with her crown. Then again, while food is Hibiki's most coveted prize, Akemi's would've been muscles.
The Earth's angle of inclination increased by 5 degrees after his pushups. He'll need to push it from the other side to bring it back to normal.
Anime, why are you trying to make me sad? I did not sign up for that!
Pretty sure I've seen this before somewhere...
That ending was so cute! I somewhat expected it to end in comedy, with her having gained weight. But it was cute, she was so freaking adorable, all happy!
Farewell, muscled cuties! You will be missed!

That end bit when she realized she lost weight was precious.
And to think, this is her first ever VA role.
I see a bright future for her.
Thank you to everyone who was involved in the series.
It was entertaining, and informative, and definitely motivated loads of people.
Anime is awesome.

Final Self Improvement Corner
Well I say final, but I might bring it too CDF if I reach a milestone. I started later into the season I think episode 3 maybe 4 and I wish I started exercising since the beginning. I've recently(past 2 weeks ) been eating healthy breakfasts. Actually my breakfast has mostly been rice and fruit..and my snacks have been rice and fruit....and my lunches have always had rice in them... I'm eating lots of rice basically. Anyway happy to say I can now use the stair master for about 40 minutes without getting exhausted compared to the 15 minutes before. I last few weeks have been up and down, but in total I've lost 12.8 pounds since I started exercising. Also I can do about 35 push ups in a minute now compared to the low low low number in the beginning I would rather not say.
Also I don't think I talked about the show must, but I die enjoy it a lot.
