So I haven't really worked out in over a year and before that I haven't really kept a steady regimen since like 5 years ago. I'm feeling really weak lately and I decided I need to get strong, I'm probably a bit underweight too as I'm 6'2" and like 165lbs. The pic below was right after the day 1 workout 3 days ago and I am really fucking sore right now after my 2nd workout, I probably won't be able to move tomorrow.
I figure I should track progress by taking pics every week or so and updating which might help motivate me further.
PS- I made a new friend. Her name is Lucky and I think she belongs to the new neighbors who are equally as friendly as she is. She must think she's in an RPG because she wandered into my house without permission and started snooping around through shit lol. She basically examined every nook and cranny of the house.

The hell is wrong with your mamelon?
|
man I got hair like that on my mamelon... and I'm just 5'4 130 lbs. LOL
|
lol that lighting makes me look like I have decent abs but really its all flub
|
btw does anyone know if benching with a bench press is easier/worse than benching 2 dumbells? Because I dunno if I am just uber weak but I can barely do any reps of the smallest weight where as I could do at least double that before on bench.

obviously if the bar is included in the weight a bench is easier than two dumbells of combined equal weight to the bench due to control issues lol

Start with bench, end with dumbells, bench requires less technique and you can just focus on pushing but dumbells give you more functional muscles. I'm no pro, but that's what I've always been told :p

Depends on what you mean by worse, with dumbells you'll stress the stabilizing muscles slightly more than you will with a barbell, but as long as you hold proper form the effect on the chest should be the same. I'd go with a barbell bench press as the exercise is, in my opinion, much harder to preform incorrectly.
I'd recommend you look into either the Starting Strength program or the Stronglifts program, both focussed entirely on barbell exercises.

Dumbells are harder as they force you to have stability in all directions where as the benchpress is stable in 2 directions already (unless you are absolutely terrible) Also dumbells force you to use both arms equally.
The stick is 10kg.
There are also a lot of other things you could do with dumbells (work out like EVERYTHING) whereas the benchpress is only the chest.
Dumbell superior for lower weight amounts yo.

An Olympic Barbell is 20kg.
