So, I'm new here.As a matter of fact, i Just started today. The program that I got requires a barbell for it to be performed. However, I train at home and I only have dumbbells. Can i substitute dumbbells for barbells?

Agreed. I only have dumbbells. Look at the fitness resources for dumbbell exercise options. Dumbbells are actually better for accessory muscles than BBs.

I would have a million dollars now if only I had only followed CNBCs advice...and I had started with a hundred million dollars.
