I bought a barbell and dumbell set
A 100lb one to start off with. I know that some exercises are alike, for example dumbell bench press and barbell bench press, should I do both in my routine or just the barbell one?
Quitters never win and winners never quit but those who don't win or quit are idiots.

I prefer dumbbells because you get a bigger ROM and it's harder to do the movement, as well as added involvement of stabilizers. Plus I don't have a spotter, so it makes DBs all the more appealing.
