lol
I'm just wondering if dumbbells are as effective for hypertrophy as barbells as a beginner
all weight is equal as long as you're not doing something very moronic with the DBs you're gonna be ok
also do Bulgarian Split Squats
I will do goblet squats
You're not going to be able to hold nearly as much weight as a dumbell in each hand as on a barbell, and pain in your wrists will probably be what determines when each set ends, not failure of leg muscles. Something is 1000000xbetter than nothing though OP, so just accept you're never going to be the best squatter in the gym.
Just do leg press and machine hack squats instead.
>I'm just wondering if dumbbells are as effective for hypertrophy as barbells
no, theyre not because you wont be able to use enough weight.
if anything stand on a plate or 2 and do a trap bar deadlift. ends up basically being a squat. that or use a machine [hack squat is good, belt squat is godtier but rare, leg press is shit but if its all you have access to its better than nothing]
its literally better for hypertrophy, although im talking about a squat variation with dumbbells, so do something like bulgarian split squats.
every single guy that does the big 3 are dyel as frick. its always the guys with the biggest ripped legs that are using dumbbells and moderately light weight in general.
As it turns out, your body has no idea if the weight pushing it down is coming from a dumbbell or a barbell
>is that a dumbell in his hands im detcting? ah-ah no growth for you then
I'd let her crush my skull between her thighs.
If your ego is that fragile then dont lift at all, sad little man.
Try doing Bulgarian split squats. I also have had herniated disc surgery.
HORSE PUSSYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
What you need is a belt squat. It trains your legs using a squat pattern and wont put load on your spine. Also solves the grip problem
>inb4 no machine
You dont need one
>is squatting with dumbbells for pussies? I've had spinal surgery in the past and the weight on my back is uncomfortable
No need to justify why you're a pussy
It's either barbell or you're gay
Finally a webm to laugh at the current gym culture.
Front squat chud
Oh yeah that exists, it's the simple revelations isn't it
But it still loads the spine, doesn't it?
My problem is with the bar actually pushing against where I had surgery
Ah, then front squat might be perfect, it will also strenghten your back. I wish you the best of luck.
What the frick are those legs?
Did that b***h fall into a vat of pig hormones or something?
I know these days the "standards of beauty" for women are broader cause the Internet revealed that you animals will frick anything, but God damn, it's a fricking freak show out there.
b***h is just fat, hence the twisted angle of her upper body to give the appearance of a thin waist. Also note how fat her forearm is. She's even twisting her neck to make it look less fat. b***h is a cow.
fat does not look like that moron
She may have some muscle too but she's definitely fat.
Shes a lard golem and if you think otherwise youre fricking moronic
Some morons should know when to stop the building
Damn she fricking grew, and so did my dick
Envious roasties don't get to critique unless they post their own bodies.
>You post yours first!
I'm here because I'm a fatass trying to get better, but I'm not the one calling someone else fat. Crabs aren't welcome, fricking homosexuals.
Shes a hambeast and you should have a nice day too
Alright, you see now I'm taking you seriously because I know you're not just a jealous fatty. Thanks.
she is not fatty
women are supposed to be soft and fat-ish not hard and muscley you absolute homosexual, you want to frick men basically
I started lifting so I can use myself as a drawing reference.
>shes not fat
Ah yes, here is the arm of a slim/fit woman.
fake as sin
>those hips
You could at least try and make your envy less obvious. If this wasn't IST, I would genuinely think a post like this came from a fat roastie
>Is protecting my overall health for pussies?
>Are glasses for pussies?
>Is eating vegetables for pussies?
God damn, is this Black person for real?
Just a typical Monday on IST.
Legs very big, yes.
that might be the most disgusting picture i have ever seen
>adjustable bench is ⅓ of her height
Just use the hex bar and deadlift.
Also try with the front squat.
Do Bulgarian split squats and lunges etc. You'll be fine, if your spine is that fricked you dont need the bar. Goblet squats help for that kind of stuff too. Also ask your doc or research if you can do light weight straight back deadlifts or good mornings. If its very light it should help eventually unless you are just super fricked.
If you're not cheating in competitions, no problem going on gear.
