[QUOTE]Originally posted by 1968_Fastback: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by cummins: [qb] I'm confused. Don't take this wrong because I'm new to lifting and I'm weak. But when I first started lifting the dude that helps me work out said that he wanted me to do dumbells to help strengthen my triceps and that dumbells work your triceps much more than a straight bar. I asked him why I was 10 lbs less on dumbells and he said that its the balancing that causes it but he said being within 10 lbs is excellent. He said that the straight bar takes out the balancing equation. Sometimes 1 arm is stronger than another so when doing dumbells this will show and you wont' be able to lift it when he gets hard. He said during straight bar you can get away with it because you can shift the weight to the stronger side. He did say that its harder but told me I should be doing roughly 80% of my straight bar weight such as bench and military presses. Just for referece this guy also benches around what you do (3 plates and some change on the outside) and also works out with 140-150 lb dumbells. And he does dumbell shoulder presses with the 120s in a chair. Like I said I dunno I'm new to lifting so I just go by what other people tell me. [/qb][/QUOTE]Barbell is easier for me, what jordan said was right though. Triceps aren't as prominent in dumbbell lifting than barbell. Also with barbells if you know how you can use your upper back and your shoulders for the lift as well. When i start new people on lifting weights i have them start with machines before i have them go to free weights. Machines will help them see how they are supposed to workout each muscle without the possiblity of injurying themselves. [/QB][/QUOTE]
