It took me about 10 years - but it is really about improving a bit each month or year- there is no destination - only a journey. Vic

There are fine differences of balance, contraction and motion. Motion can be deeper and more full with dumbbell. Think about the range of movement. Contraction can be more complete and satisfying with dumbbells. Barbell benching has it's benefits too- less focus needed on balancing the weights- that energy can be deployed into exertion, creating a brute force movement that wakes up the fibers. I like to think of the barbell as sledgehammer and the dumbbells are a chisel.

you are an incredible guy. totally at the top of your class and game. thanks so much for doing what you do!

I am so focused on the contraction that I really don't use heavy weights. Certainly I could put heavy weight on the bar and show you I am powerful, but that isn't what I go for. I try to get a pump in my chest and really use a weight that my chest moves throughout the whole of the exercise. I can throw around a lot of weight but I train with reasonable weight. Flat presses, I don't go as high as the 300's. I stay at 200, 225, etc.. I just want to feel the muscle work.

@vicsnatural well i know youre all about the low weight, good contraction, but how much do you actually bench when you work out for size?

Your videos are awesome!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience, you explain it very well!
Hey Vic, I noticed that you have been informing others that it you workout one muscle group a week. By that do you mean you work out, For example; your biceps only once a week? I would appreciate a response. Thanks.

I only train each muscle group once per week. If you are training extremely hard and to failure , it is certainly not a good idea to train a body part 3 times per week. Vic
