you can use more weight with barbells or ez bars, so in that sense, they should be better for adding mass.

Decline dumbbell tricep extensions are great.
MRI studies show this to be the most effective exercise for recruiting all three heads of the triceps. Position your body in a supine position on a decline bench, hooking your feet under the padded rollers. Lift the dumbbells overhead in bench-press fashion. Your grip should be semi-supinated so your palms are facing each other.
Begin by keeping elbows pointed directly upward. Lower the dumbbells until your forearms make contact with your biceps. At this point, the dumbbell plates will probably be in contact with your shoulders. Lift the dumbbells back up to the starting position by extending your elbows, keeping their position in space fixed. Elbows should be the only active joints during this exercise.
Form is critical on these, do not worry about weight as much, go as heavy as possible of course, but not at the cost of form.:dumbbell:

barbells also help with form. try bars before working with dumbbells.
