Can STS be done with just dumbells??

I own the Bowflex select-tech ones that go up to 52.5 lbs per dumbell, I really don't want to have to purchase a barbell if I don't have to.

Here's a link with an answer from SNM.

Jerry:

It might just be that sometimes a move feels different, is more comfortable or works the muscle differently with a barbell.

I would get one if I were you. Next to dumbells, a barbell is the single most valuable piece of weight training equipment.

Walmart, Sears and Dicks all have amazing prices (from $19.99 upwards) on barbell sets, including 110 pound sets for less than $40, on their online stores. That's a pretty amazing deal.

Absolutely, you can use dumbbells instead of a barbell in STS. We were not sure if the prototypes for the patent pending push pull tower would be ready in time for the filming of STS, so most of the bench exercises were tested and rehearsed originally with dumbbells only.

That response takes me one step closer to a full-blown cave!
