Barbell
What’s the difference between the incline dumbbell press and the incline barbell press?
I have this friend at the gym and he says that the dumbbell incline press fills up your chest and the barbell incline press widens your chest. I’d just like to know why some people use Dumbbells instead of the barbell.
Whenever dumbbells are used you recruit extra stabilizer muscles to control each dumbbell. Typically you can lift more combined weight with a barbell and less with dumbbells that’s because it takes a lot of “control” to keep them balanced thru the exercise.
Dumbbells are great because the weaker arm can’t ride off of the stronger one, each one pulls all the weight by itself.
Inclined barbell press focuses an fewer muscles–and these are the ones that create a wider chest but even dumbbells do just to a lesser degree because of the control issue.
