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.

Two arms help stabilize each other. Dumbells force you to engage a bunch of smaller stabilizing muscles that are less utilized and weaker.
It’s precisely why I prefer dumbells. You get a more effective exercise, even if the weight is lower.
Lift to exert yourself and worry less about the weight. The weight is for your ego.
