    Do u prefer barbell or dumbells?

    I prefer db's for symmetry purposes and more freedom. I don't feel as locked in a lot of movements. Barbells come in handy on heavy rows, deadlifts squats ect but I feel you carry over more strength to barbells from dumbells rather than barbells to dumbells.

    This is why you buy a quality Barbell

    This is why you should buy a quality barbell from the start. This bar is a standard thickness bar (28mm) from memory. It lasted to 130kg dead lifts then bent like a banana. So for those looking into getting started dont waste your money on a cheap barbell. As you will not only have to replace...
