Arnold chest

ad

Guys i know this is really random but today i realized something and everyone is gonna go, "yep you're right". Everyone always talks about how the dumbell bench is a superior exercise for the chest over the barbell bench. I personally dont get as much out of the dumbell bench as i do the barbell. I feel the barbell bench is by far the better strength and mass builder. And i think that Arnold would agree. Because i've seen just about every training clip out there with arnold. Seen all the training pics. Arnold NEVER did dumbell bench! Think about it..how many times have you seen a pic or a video of Arnold doing dumbell benchpress???? None! And look at the dudes chest. Big tall wide motherfucker. Big ass round fucking chest. The shit is crazy man. I think im done with dumbells. I may throw em in once a month or so but barbell bench is where its at. Its the meat and potatoes.

He recommends DB bench in his Encyclopedia (Note: not saying he recommends replacing barbell bench with DB but DB has its place in a training program). Also he does say that any Olympic bar exercise i.e. bench, overhead press etc will build more mass because you can go heavier. Just mix it up.

i think using the bb is good for your mass sets, just use your dbs for your stretch sets
