Should i start with dumb bells or plates when startinf strength training?

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

I plan to get both but curious which one I should start with for strength training. I'd imagine dumb bells?

Barbell and plates is always better. Take it slow and learn proper form before moving up in weight.

I’m not sure why you would need to chose. You could use both.

What a dikkhead.





Dumbbells for even weight distribution and engaging stabilizer muscles, barbells for progressive load and maxing (mainly because the weights are already lifted on the bench as opposed to having to pick up dumbbells from the rack/ground).


If I were you I'd start with dumbbells and learn proper form, and then maybe tie in barbell when you're comfortable. There is no wrong answer, except definitively saying one is somehow always better than the other in any situation.

BB and plates for heavier lifts, DBs for better use of stabilizer muscles.

You can do both.

How can you learn proper form on a barbell lift (back squats for example) with DBs?

Obviously for that exercise you wouldn't be able to. You're being obtuse just to argue.



muthafukka thought he cooked asking me How can you learn proper form on a BARBELL BACK SQUAT with DUMBBELLS.

Nope just asked a question for clarification. OP may not understand it being new to lifting.
