Swapping Bench Press with Dumbbell Bench Press?

Post by cws1992 »

Im running operator I/A and do a SQ/BP/WPU + deadlift every other workout. Ive been doing some reading and have seen articles saying barbell bench press is probably not the best way to develop your chest muscles and that DB bench is better. Could I swap bench with dumbbell bench presses and run operator like normal just with DB bench press?

Thanks

cws think in terms of performance, not bodybuilding with this.

Unless you are already pretty strong DBs will be hard to fit the progression in a template, plus they aren't as good for low reps. So while it could be done, probably not ideal.
