Use the same weight dumbbells for bench press and shoulder press

>use the same weight dumbbells for bench press and shoulder press
>barbell bench press is basically twice the weight as my OHP

How does this work?>

The bar is an extra 45 lbs. OHP requires core, bench press does not.

It's easier to bench one bar instead of benching or pressing two dumbbells

65 pounds on a barbell is lighter because you're using two hands instead of 65 pound dumbbells where you use one hand for each

your dumbbell bench press is extremely shit

i use 45kg dumbbells

DYEL?
>65 pounds on a barbell
that's 65 lbs plus the bar = 110 lbs, of course it's lighter than 2 65 lb dumbbells.

sure you do, pls post body

Are you telling me you OHP 90kg? That'd mean you bench 180kg since
>barbell bench press is basically twice the weight as my OHP
which yes, would make your 90kg dumbbell bench fucking pitiful in comparison

are you autistic?

not him, but you look retarded.

sure, it's easier to bench the same total weight with a barbell since you're not busy stabilizing with your wrist as much.

unless his OHP is insanely weaker than his dumbbell press he's full of shit, are you autistic?

him ^

>since you're not busy stabilizing with your wrist as much

dumbest shit I ever heard.

you have to be 18 to post here. hit the gym sometimes

it's called physics, you're using extra muscles to stabilize the dumbells.

I'm a doctor, and this is autism.

summer is kicking in, I see dumb questions like the one in OP all the time

all of these fucking appalling posts have hurt my brain

OP pls tell us how much you bb OHP, bb bench and what dbs you use for db bench and press

...

DB press 90kg total
DB bench 90kg total
OHP 55kg
bench 110kg

I'm going to guess that your core is weak or your OHP form sucks.
Do you squat / dead?

It's probably because you aren't used to standing in the OHP, whereas in the DB press you stabilize against the bench turning it into a pseudo incline

you're a fucking retard. the solution to your fucking dilemma has already been posted at least four times, and it's "stabilizers".

i.e. his core?

i.e. the first post in this

>65lbs OHP = 95lbs bench
>75lbs OHP = 115lbs bench
>90lbs OHP = 135lbs bench
>100lbs OHP = 155lbs bench

thats how it was for me

>you're using extra muscles

You aren't though, it wouldn't make sense for the body to be designed like that. All the same muscles are being activated, it's just that the antagonist muscle has to work harder.

>the antagonist muscle has to work harder
are you clinically retarded?

Same. OHP is usually 65% of one's Bench, even seems to align with Symmetric Strength and EXRX standards.

How does benching transfer to OHP?
