Hi!
Today was leg day for me, I did squats and lunges using 2 heavy dumbells on each hand. Boy, it was tough! I mean, especially on squats, I had to use a lot more whole body strength (arms, shoulders and all included) to keep the weights steady, instead of having a bar resting on my shoulders.
Now, my question is: is there any advantage of mixing up leg day like this? do I get anything from dumbell squats and lunges that I wouldn´t get otherwise (using just the barbells)??
thanx ppl!
