Barbell and dumbell

[statewide22]

Which is preferred for bench press? I only have access to dumbells. But how important is the barbell?

I prefer the bar but both are ok

For heavy press I use the barbell, for volume work I use both.

it is more economical and better environment to get a gym membership vs. buying your own equipment.

you can argue this all day with me but at the end of the day it is important to be in a gym setting environment being pushed and watching/learning from others vs. being alone at home.

We had one dude that worked on ships so he couldn't get to a gym

A barbell isn't necessary really. You can just stick with dumbbells.

If you have an adjustable bench you can do flat/incline db presses and flies. Add in some chest dips and you have a good chest routine

I use dumbells for bench press or any pressing movement and squats,dead lift or barbell curl I use barbell
