Which do you guys prefer, barbell or dumbbell?
I've always did barbell until about a year ago while I was on cycle. My pops (old school lifter) sugested going to dumbells for more range after I continuously bitched about the lack of growth and pump (weight went up, but not size) and i tried everything over the years. Running the plate racks/pyramids, to lower weight with 20 reps or to failure sets. I liked how my pecs felt like they were seizing along my sternum to across my chest with each lift of the dumbbells and finally achieving descent pumps with being able to get lower than with the barbell.
