Switching between barbells and dumbbells every week?

[crosmanboy]

So lets say one week I do Barbell bench. then the next I do Dumbbell bench. Do you think this will lead to better muscle gains? Knowing that Dumbbell isolates a muscle better than the barbell.

arguably the same exercise although DB just uses more stabilizing muscles, so arguably more muscle gains. I'd say it's worth a try op

progression + enough food = muscle gains.

progression + enough food = muscle gains.

progression as in getting stronger?

Getting stronger and being able to do more weight.

You will deconditionned your CNS to barbell movements when youll switch to DBs and vice versa. This will only be a waste of time.

You better stick to a DB or BB version of the lift and stick to it as long as you can.

Feel free to switch every week if you want to, but youll realise it's pointless sooner or later.

lol no, just stick with one and get better at it.

Stick with the barbell or dumbbell untill you stall, then you switch.
