freedom of movement of dumbells are life saver for me. Dumbbells has always left better on joints. Barbells and dumbbells are both fucking awesome, but if i would have to choose only one for the rest of my life, i would choose dumbbells
Watched most of your videos now, honestly very good fitness youtuber so far, similar to 'untamed' guy. Helped me a lot for filtering and organizing my knowledge all around fitness. Surprised you are still under popular on youtube, such a waste. Going to buy your book as a thank you.
The way I like to look at it is that if you aren’t a competitor in a sport like powerlifting, use dumbbells for most of the training and then use specialty barbells for heavier lifts such as a trap bar and safety squat bar.
You should make a video about fully locking out a joint during exercises like dips, tricep extensions, lunges ,etc. There's many misconceptions out there
I'm a new lifter, and when I saw you were putting up 34s I felt pretty great. Like, hell yeah, I can keep up with this guy np. Then I realized they were kilos. Alright, that's my story thanks for reading.
You’ll get to 70-75 lbs pretty fast as a new lifter if you focus on progressive overload and program well. Getting the weight to 80 and higher is a much longer grind though.
If I had to choose one, I would probably choose Dumbbells if they went up to 200 pounds. Mostly because they are simply more versatile. There are so many things you can do with dumbbells that you can't with a barbell. Of course, on of the main advantages of barbells is that you can load them to a virtually infinite amount, which is not really practical with dumbbells.
Aliens may land and force your hand. What a stupid thing to worry about. Barbells have plenty of practical benefits, and none of us are forced to choose
My gym only went up to 50kg in dumbbells, but I never saw anyone use them. Maybe for a farmers walk, once or twice. Anyway, this is great stuff. I like the analysis of studies, would love to see more. You sometimes cut your audio a bit too short and miss a word or syllable at the ends, so maybe have a look (or listen) at that?
Hey Geoffrey, any opinion on the place of kettlebells in training. Useful tools for power and strength or just a fancy way of doing HIT? Keep these videos comming! They are very informative
Dude, why is your cookbook that expensive?? Only joking :D thanks again for the upload, Quora-Man. Your videos are awesome. You have a Patreon account?
So for some reason I have tried watching the video 4 times now, with at least 3 hours of separarion between each try, and it just keeps freezing at 0:42. I guess youtube just doesn't want me to watch your video.
I do dumbbells only now because I quit the gym due to covid and shoulder injury. You can get 200 lbs on an 18 inch dumbbell handle so you could do plenty of weight for leg work if you don't max out. I always use them one handed for upper body stuff, it solves most of the annoyances of dumbbells with respect to getting them in place. It is easy to clean up a single heavy dumbbell and get in position to do bench or presses but pretty much impossible to get very heavy dumbbells in place as a set without help.
The REAL verdict: Just lift 2 barbells, one in each hand 😎

Barbells are just big dumbbells

Yea I've had a word with my editor repeatedly, might be time to let him go.

I don't use them. They're OK. Not really on the same tier as barbells or dumbbells really, sort of more for conditioning most of the time.
I'll try :)

But honestly I don't really use it
Awesome 5 seconds in and you told me everything I need to know... I'm still going to watch it though.
Yes I like to give people the answers early (usually!) so that if they click away, at least they get something.

Dunno. No problems here, and the average watch time is almost 7minutes.
I did deadlifts with a 30 pound dumbbell and a backpack full of water bottles today... gotta use what you’ve got!

First😂
Hopefully not the last :)
I want to become explosive. Not necessarily aestethical. Any recommendations on how I should train?
Olympic lifting.
Train explosively.

I think it depends on leverages. I have long rom leverages in bench so the barbell is perfect for me bc my natural rom is at my chest
How does this have only 6k views??
For home gym, what do you think?
I've always wanted dumbbells I could do with both hands. But that don't take up the whole house.
Dumbbell rods
5:18 nice
Nice video!
Thanks! :)
