I'm almost there man. Once I hit it, I'm just using dumbbells' forever and saying I can bench 2 plates in any social convo lol.

Chest day

Do what works for you but barbells better for strength gains.

Im in that hoe dancing to tisakorean and moving heavy weight f*** it

Good thing I’m focused on deeper contractions + pushing heavy weight. Glad the bar works for you

I’ll do some dumbell work every couple weeks to get some extra range of motion

But I’m doing working sets of 315 up to 345 and that’s not going to be replicated with dumbbells

Lol have you done working sets of 100-120 dumbbells before making that assessment? Cause I would argue it’s easier to get to 315 on bar than to 120 on dumbbells

This passive aggressive ass pags

Yes I’ve been able to do working sets of 100-120 on dumbbells before I even hit 315 on bench

Me in between sets off that pre

True, I made one solid goal for me to follow with bench, so I don't just run around doing random exercises with no motive. I've been practicing really hard to stay consistent and disciplined in working out 3-4 times a day.

Nice good for you and your fitness journey, keep it up. Different strokes

Strength is based on specificity. If you BB bench more, you will be stronger at that. If you DB bench more the opposite will happen. There is of course carry over since they are both pushing movements in a similar plane but you will be stronger at whatever you do most.

A 120 lb DB bench bench is no more or less ‘impressive’ than a 300ish lb BB bench.

i like u !!

impossibly silly 😝

Imagine caring how much weight you push hypertrophy gang

With these specific workouts, it’s common knowledge if you want to increase chest strength then use a BB. Otherwise, DB is better for bodybuilding as it offers more humerus adduction as you can squeeze them at the top which you can’t get the same squeeze with a BB. Also your contraction at the bottom can be lowered further and angled differently with DB.

You’re not wrong about getting stronger the more you do one, but like I said, everyone has different goals and it is easier to structure a BB strength program than a DB strength program

We so silly !!!! 😩

“Sir u been on this machine for a hour”

Me:

Ngl I asked some dude how many sets he had left and his reply was “idk bro im locked in”
