The Dumbbells offer you are greater range of motion(ROM) and the barbell offers the abitlity to use more weight. I used to do Barbell but then Had to switch to Dumbbells. Have to say I like them both but the dumbell hits my front delts more so far than barbell did. of course this is most likely cause I never really did them before.:big_smile: -------------- LIFT HEAVY!
