Note this is not a BB vs DB question, I’ve already read that topic to death. Rather I’m trying to confirm some assumptions I’m making, and looking for feedback based on what little I can find about it.
Is it valid to assume that neural adaptation to a DB movement will be greater than for a comparable BB movement, or are they close enough not to really matter?
Is it valid to assume there is neural adaptation required when switching between comparable BB and DB movements or vice versa, and if so about how long might it take?
Is it valid to assume that the neural adaptation required switching from BB to DB is going to be greater than going from DB to BB or is the difference going to be minimal?
More generally is it a bad idea from a hypertrophy standpoint (i.e. are you losing any significant opportunity for hypertrophy due to neural adaptation) to switch between BB & DB versions of the same exercise from cycle to cycle or even during the same cycle?
