After 4 months, I recently went from 7.5kg dumbbells to 10kg dumbbells and it feels really heavy whenever I lift above my chest level. like my shoulders and back have a hard time doing the exercises. But 2 days ago I bought a barbell and loaded it with 28 kgs I was comfortably ( little bit challenging) able to do my exercises. I dont understand why the dumbbells feel so difficult to work with.

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned yet is co-anchoring points.
If for example you’re curling a dumbbell, your arm is on it’s own but if you are curling a barbell your arms are anchored apart which allows your chest to to pull across your arms providing more muscles and stability. This is applicable in other variations.
