Dumbbells are a great way to improve your strength. They allow better muscle isolation and let you concentrate on certain areas of the body more effectively as compared to barbells.
Dumbbells are also safer for those working out without a spotter. For example, in the bench press, dumbbells can merely be dropped to the side following a heavy set, while this wouldn't be possible with barbells.
