ghetto gym bro. i also can't afford for FF or TF.

mix and match.. Both are good and use to train different part of body..

if i were to chose either one, dumbbell for sure. most barbell exercises have a dumbbell version, but not vice versa

Thanks guy. my concern is to do squat and deadlift as they are highly regarded in an exercise routine. so far only doing both of these exercise using luggage bag which i filled with water bottles / lifting the steel framed bed . I do some searching and found that dumbbell can serve this purpose too. will go for dumbbel for now. tq again

+1.. This is good too.

If you really only can choose one, and you really can't go to a gym, then dumbbells.
