Barbell lets you lift more weight and makes you feel macho.
Dumbell works the stabiliser muscles more, therefore is probably better for real-world strength gains.

I don't know about you guys...
but frankly I'm GLAD someone finally brought this topical subject up.
We've been skirting around it too much lately.
It's time to bring it out in the open.
Kudos OP!!!

BB for overall strength and mass and DB for isolation.
Correct me if I'm wrong please.

DB can most certainly give strength and mass.

idk about anyone else but i dont think the job here is to not put down an honest question. Its quite ok to re-post stuff because sometimes there are so many threads and its hard to find a specific question (and really how many questions can be asked before a repeat occurs?). And its no big deal really, if you dont like seeing the question then dont post a reply, just ignore it.
Anyways BB for strength and mass. DB's really isolate the pecs and give me one hell of a pump. I do both in my chest workout personally.

Lol we have covered most things in the exercise section, if it wasnt for reposts, the "that guy in the gym" thread, or the rant thread, there would hardly be any activity in the exercise section anymore...

lol brah some people repost topics on the same day!
Weekly wouldnt be as bad, compared to now... But that will get annoying too. I guess there just isnt an unlimited amount of topics in this section.
