Dumbbell vs Barbell
Quick comparison, I'm sure you have many more ideas or comments then the few below. post them on FB in the comments
DUMBBELLS
Better for beginners. Having to stabilize the weight you’re holding in each hand improves coordination and activates more muscle fibers over all. Dumbbells build strong shoulders.Help to even out strength imbalances between limbs, The barbell can easily hide inconsistent presses or squats. you move to single Arm or single leg movements then add weight... " Hi there weaknesses :)"Safer than a barbell. You won’t get pinned under them during a bench press or squat like you would a bar.But if you drop them they are unpredictable in the bounce.. so do not drop them...
BARBELLS
Allow you to go much heavier. MUCH HeavierBetter for working legs. You can do squats and deadlifts with dumbbells, but eventually the weight you use will get too heavy or cumbersome to hold. A barbell lets you use a big weight more comfortably.Necessary for explosive exercises such as power cleans and snatches. You won’t be able to generate the same power with a dumbbell, but you can fix pulling and shrugging barbell problems with a dumbbell
