When I look back on it,

Every real gain of strength I've had was from barbell training.

Turns out lifting progressively heavier weights over time through maximum range of motion creates stronger muscles.

I'll always use barbells.

People like to major in the minors.

Dumbbells are king imo they force you to stabilize in all planes. Barbells create a pseudo plane that is cartoonish.

My functional strength in combat sports exploded when I took the DumbbellPill.

Dumbells cant replace squat + deadlift.

Agreed but where possible replacing barbells with dumbbells is superior

Dude..... I have been doing Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength program and it has put a 150 pounds on my squat over the past year.
