Why do people use dumbbells? I see posts here all the time saying they incline db press whatever weight or they farmers walk with dbs. 45lb dumbbells aren't as heavy as lifting a 45lb barbell. or a sled for example. Is it an ego lifting thing?

Are you fucking retarded?

It's a mechanically different lift in almost all cases.
Grayson Taylor
45 lbs doesn’t equal 45 lbs
Are you familiar with the concept of the distribution of weight?
James Martinez
A and B are equal assuming you have to use the same amount of hands.
Christopher Ward
No because the arms are extended in A but are not in B
Brayden Gutierrez
They're all the same weight (+/- a few percent due to manufacturing differences) but option c would be the most difficult to hold.
Asher Anderson
Assuming you hold both with your arm outstretched they're the same

try it next time in your gym. lifting a 45lb plate off the tree isn't as heavy as lifting a barbell off the rack.
Colton Hughes
Holy fuck. The weight is distributed differently you moron.
