Barbells or Dumbells if you could only have one!

[Stanley B]

only one to grow, get ripped, and better for avoiding injury. Which would you go with?

 

[HFO3]

I prefer DBs over BB

[selfmademonster]

Barbell, a fat one if I had to choose and just train old school

 

[SF96]

This is a tough one. I prefer DB for some exercises and BB for others. If you had a gun to my head I'd probably go with a BB though.

 

[Jaxz]

Dumbbells can do more exercise with them .

 

[Bdawg]

Db!

 

[Stormy1]

Dumbells for sure!

 

[FM19]

DBs for sure!

 

[Wiseguy]

Db 100%.

 

[Milford King]

Dumbbells….. but only the pink ones.

 

[MonsterMaker]

Elastic resistant bands

 

[Gatz]

Definitely DB's

 

[newbulk]

Dbs all day

 

[Franco]

Dumbells

Dumbells are more versatile

 

[dnewell2004]

Do I have a bench and squat rack?
And weights for the BB?

 

[BodybuilderZepp]

Barbell gives me more mass, but also is the one most people get injured on. High risk high reward, I’m going Barbell!

Barbell

Barbells! Rubber coated 8-10 lbs.. perfect for my current bulk

 

[Bft84]

DBs I don’t touch barbells and haven’t in years.

 

[Montego]

Barbells..... Only because of deads, rdls and stiff legs.

I don't like doing those heavy at all with db's.

I agree here. One of my favorite training days is all from the platform... deadlifts, power cleans, barbell rows to straight bar curl then eat. I can't imagine coming close to the intensity with db's

 

[Jwilla]

I'm another one for DB's. Much more variety in the way exercises can be done. Meaning grip variations.

 

[MindlessWork]

Dumbbells for the win hands down as many different exercises can be done using them.

 

[XOTG85]

Barbell for me DB at my gym stop at 100 and that's to light for me.

That was supposed to be dumbbells .. vacation needed and it’s only the 1st

 

[frank zazz]

Db all day

 

[maxmuscle1]

Barbells (because of all the Ext. products like landmines,etc) I am looking at the Swiss Bars ...very cool to use but; I have never integrated into my workouts. Would be a nice add on to the Rogue Rack .

Max
Btw- my brother got the Nuobell Dumbbells w rack and likes them a lot.

 

[Bolan]

DB's all day long

 

[Slayingmetal]

Dumbells. It's easier to contract the muscle with them.
