dumbbell vs barbell

[aimtobe]

Hi Cathe, I was wondering if there was a difference in using dumbbells as opposed to a barbell? I have been using both, but was just curious if a person can get the same results by using just one type of weight. By the way, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all your workouts, I have been doing your workouts for a little over 2 years now, and could not imagine living without them, Thank YOU!!!

Thank You Aimtobe! If you have both, that is the best case scenerio. The more variety, muscle recruitment, and shock you can bring to your muscles, the better. But yes, if you only have dumbbells vs both, you will stick get astonishing results.

I do not have a barbell at home so I do all my STS workouts with dumbbells. I am on my 4th round of STS and have had amazing results - 45 pound weight loss in a year and still counting. Cathe does say that you can use dumbbells to substitute.
