welllll......Barbells confine your range of motion, putting greater pressure on joints than muscle, it's too many benches that cause guys to develop shoulder problems...i geuss i shouldn't make sweeping generalizations like that, but, anytime you can focus more on concentration you should produce better results. Some exercises for barbells are better because they stabilize balance, while in other exercises you want to develop balance.
