Barbells vs dumbells for STS

[cwphy]

Hi all!
I was wondering if I HAD to have a barbell to do STS. I have all the other equipment, dumbells (up to 60#'s each), weighted vest (40#), etc. But I don't have the money or most importantly the ROOM for anymore exercise equipment! (My roomates will scream if I put any other exercise equipment in the tv room) Can I substitute free weights for all of the barbell exercises? Or is there some kind of physical/muscular importance to using a dumbell?

No, you don't need a barbell to do STS. A lot of people have done it with just dumbbells.

Dumbbells

You will also find that in STS for most of the exercises we have a modifier using just dumbbells.

Thanks for the reply's! I'm excited to start STS next month! And my roomates are grateful they won't have to deal with anymore equipment!

You could always HIDE it under your bed or stand it in a corner in your closet! But, like they said, you don't have to have one. Have fun with STS! It's AMAZING!!!!
