Why bench with dumbells?

[IronLion]

i use them to give my joints a rest every so often....I do all my pressing in a pronated position because it is a more natural and athletic position for my hands....in other words i can simulate hitting something....lol

I could only use DB's for a long time due to shoulder pain.

However, I started getting bigger throughout my chest and shoulder area once I learned how to flat bench properly with a barbell.

I am not an expert on the science of DB's and Barbell, but I do know that I get a 150% better pump using DB's than I do using a Barbell. I like DB's, they make me feel like I have worked harder. I do at least 3x8 of DB flat press on every chest to keep the stabalizers strong, and help with shape. They will not make you stronger than using Barbells, but I truely believe that DB's are far superior for shaping your chest.
