Carpe_Deum Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 yep, thats what i discovered with dumbells too. luckily i always tended to prefer dumbells for chest and i do have friends that cant lift heavy with dumbbells liek they can on the bar. those glass videos you posted time ago have really helped using dumbbelli think the 2 set workout routine is to get your body used to the change, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carcass Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 People have actually died bench pressing because of improper form or a sudden muscle tear causing the bar to drop on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will h Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Everytime i go gym i tell myself i'm gonna do benching with dumbells, but always fail to do so. A lot of people do tell me it is better due to using more support muscles. Gonna try and give it a go soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbmc Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I usually do dumbells on incline, i start with flat bench barbell. I always thought they'd be safer but i seem to push myself more when i do barbell, plus i thought that dumbell bench presses weren't as effective because i can lift more. I normally do about 6 reps on 50k+the weight of the bar. But 2X25k dumbells seem to be much easier to lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
