What are the differences between performing a shoulder press with a barbell versus using dumbbells?
The main difference between performing a shoulder press with a barbell and using dumbbells is the stability and range of motion. When using a barbell, both arms move together, which can provide more stability but limit the range of motion. Dumbbells allow each arm to move independently, increasing the range of motion and engaging more stabilizing muscles.
