SaiFightsMS Posted June 11, 2002 Posted June 11, 2002 The difference between working with a barbell vs a set of dumb bells is more inclusion of the stabilizing muscles. Watch people who are fairly new to strenght training. They bench with the barbell then go on the dumb bell presses and the dumb bells wobble all over the place. When you work with the dumb bells you strenghten not only the primary muscle intended but the areas connected to them.
Ti-Kwon-Leap Posted June 11, 2002 Posted June 11, 2002 Your training program should resemble, as closely as possible,the sport that you are training for. SaiFightsMS is absolutely correct. Dumbells teach one balance and control. What could be better for the martial artist? Ti-Kwon-Leap"Annoying the ignorant since 1961"
