deadlift dumbells vs. bar

[rolinhgh]

I just started using dumbells where previously i was using a straight bar. What do you guys think is better?

The bar is definately better. I have done 629 (totally raw) with a bar and using the trap bar method is easier...so making a pair of 315lb dbells would be impossible.

I do suggest trying them from time to time though...maybe for higher reps. You can also do them dimel deadlift style to really fry your glutes and hams.

My bar is 45...plus 6 45's on each side...plus 11's on each side...plus 2 5.5's on each side. Gives me 629
