Sean Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 So alot of exercise movements have the option. Preferences? Opinions on one better than the other? I know that I like dumbells alot more, I find that I cheat less and that I also can do more without worrying about a spot, so there's no hesitation. An example is bench or shoulder press, curls, etc. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Yeah I like dumbbells better. Since you have to push/pull them independently you know you're not favoring one side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinVegartin Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I agree. Each arm has to do its own work. And then there's the extra work done in stabilising the dumbells. But, isn't there the question of a barbell allowing better combining of total strength? Rather like the whole being greater than the sum of its parts?

jonathan Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Dumbells have their uses but I prefer barbells. You can simply move alot more weight, which I think stimulates better strength and muscle growth. I haven't used DBs as part of my routines for over a year now.
