Thread '10 Dumbbell Bench Press Variations for Adding Size to Your Chest'
The barbell bench press is the king of the bench press jungle, but the dumbbell bench press is striding with it side by side. Barbell variations allow you to move more weight due to their fixed range of motion, but dumbbell bench press variations offer more freedom of movement. Why does that matter? Isn’t more weight the be-all and end-all? It matters for three reasons. First, the freedom of pressing with dumbbells is joint-friendly, which is vital if the upper body joints are angry...

Thread 'Theresa Ivancik: From Cardio Freak to Champion Pro Bodybuilder'
We are in an era of “mass monsters,” for both men and women. The size of many top pro bodybuilding competitors can be amazing.
