tfw I got trolled by the barbell/strength meme for so long
Most bodybuilder's workouts are like 90% machines. You should have figured it out.

What the fuck is hammer strength?
Leo Cooper
Dumbbells + kettlebells here

I only use barbell lifts because they're fun and dumbells aren't for me, if you've got a home gym a barbell is far, far more economic as well.

If you didn't make gains on barbell on barbell work but begin progessing a ton on machines you were doing something wrong in the first place. if your gonna shit on barbells while on fit you should probably post your body or everyone will think your a faggot full of shit. at least I will.
Andrew Wilson
Most of the guys I know who do primarily barbell work all look better and are stronger than the twinks I see curling all day. just saying. 5 years lifting here
Easton Evans
Here brah. Dumbbells exclusively for all lifts. The only time I wish I had access to a barbell setup is for doing deadlifts and squats.

Resistance training is something so simple and people have gone to great lengths to make it some huge fucking over complex spectacle.
Dumbells, barbells, that fuckin set of rocks on your Grammies lawn it's all the same. You pick it up put it down eat and sleep whoa nelly muscles grew!

A lot of people have dimensions that don't fit well into a machine so they're forced to do movements that are unnatural or uncomfortable. For that reason, we recommend bar bells instead.
Of course how much you lift on a machine is meaningless. It's a cuck device designed to make bitch boys feel good about themselves. That's why planet fatness has machines. So that people can do minimal effort and feel like they accomplished something.
If you can't squat, press or deadlift this weight, you are a weak shit. This is simple objective fact.

How do you guys do squats and deads?
Dont your wrists suffer?
Ian Flores
I see some big dudes who focus most of their work on bb split stuff, but I usually see them doing barbell work too. There's only like 3 really massive dudes there that I know of that do ONLY bb split, but I'm 99.998975% certain they juice.
Joseph Nelson
But you're using dumbbells. That's the same thing of using barbells if you can't squat/bench lmao1pl8. Actually, it's even better. You don't need to post face. Actually, nobody here posts face. Except attention whores

kek'd wholeheartedly at this response.
accurate, well written and direct. I tip my fedora in your general direction, good sir.

Ryder Ramirez
Not all machines are terrible, most of them make you lazy, though.
I start using machines to supplement regular lifts when I start feeling tired in a session
Jayden Ross
>has to try
Wow
Ethan Taylor
Its a seated machine chest press basically
Jordan Lewis
>these are the people who give you advice on routines
Lucas Rogers
Yeah, because the dreaded Legion destroys the lives of everyone who posts in CBTs.
No we get our routine advice from a sub 150 lb tranny that's never lifted before.
Lincoln Wright
if i did a home gym id roll with both but get some olympic dumbells, adjustable weight
Connor Roberts
I use the fixed 60 lbs barbell for 3x10 front squats because any heavier I would need a rack/cage and then do my "proper" leg workout on the leg press for strength progression
Matthew Price
Dumbbells for every lift except Deads, Squats and Curls.
Curls get a special bendy bar to keep wrists at a healthy angle.
Safer for your shit in all pressing exercises guaranfuckingteed
Gavin Davis
Not true, literally the only serious injury I've ever had was from DB shoulder press with a weight I could easily rep for 8. On one of my last reps my arm was shaking, then suddenly snapped back. Couldn't lift properly for 3 months. Barbell is safer.
Kayden Scott
Lmao, you're not supposed to use an ez curl bar for curls you dipshit, it prevents supination of the arm, enjoy your nogains.
Elijah Parker
>he uses an ez curl bar for curls It prevents supination of the arm you tard, I think it's safe to throw the rest of your "advice" in the bin too.
