At this point you probably have a woman (or multiple women) chasing you around, calling you all the time, wanting to be with you. So let's talk about how to KEEP a woman interested in you once you have her. This is BIG! There is nothing worse than getting dumped by a woman that you really, really like.

In my opinion dumbbells are the better choice most of the time for two reasons...
1) Greater Range of Motion
2) They work more stabalizer muscles
They can also be useful for when you don't have a spotter.
Barbells are superior for squats and deadlifts. If you are a powerlifter, then you'll want to bench with a barbell.
I'm not saying barbells are bad though by any means. They are much better than machines and are good to use to change up your routine a little bit.
