Dumbell Press

[New Jack]

If you don't ever have a spotter and you substitute flat dumbell bench for flat barbell bench, will you get similar results in terms of size, strength, and pump. I know the range of motion is greater and the pecs are worked separately.

I also have the same question for dumbell military press instead of barbell military press.

What about for boxing, which one is better dumbell or barbell.

New Jack, I notice you posted this on training too. You are probably going to get answer in this forum geared toward STRENGTH gains.

Are you asking in terms of size or strength? If you are looking to grow and build a balanced physique, that would be a different answer than which is better for increasing bench strength.
