    dumbells

    What would be a good option for adding dumbells to my home gym? My wife wants to start working out and with her bad knees I think we could construct a pretty good workout for her using mostly dumbells.

    What do you regret buying for your home gym?

    What do you think wasn't worth the money it cost? Or you bought something and barely use it?

    We all know that standard cookie cutter bodybuilding workouts hit every possible muscle group. But most trainees don't hit every muscle group. Which groups don't you hit, and why?

    Do u prefer barbell or dumbells?

    I prefer db's for symmetry purposes and more freedom. I don't feel as locked in a lot of movements. Barbells come in handy on heavy rows, deadlifts squats ect but I feel you carry over more strength to barbells from dumbells rather than barbells to dumbells.
