A few months ago I scored some weights on Freecycle and ended up with full sets of standard and olympic bars and weights. After messing around with some different routines I started doing the starter routine from the wiki and am now at the point where all of my lifts are heavy enough I can use the olympic barbell, except for the overhead press and I'm using dumbbells for that.
I like the compound lifts that are in the routine but I'm still a total noob to lifting so I'm wondering, is there a reason to keep the lighter bars around? Are there lifts that can only be done with a barbell and not dumbbells?
If it matters - I have a barbell, curl bar, and 2 dumbbell bars plus plenty of weights in each set. I'm thinking about offering the standard set to my mom and brother.
