>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?>
>>41753567
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
>>41753641
i use 45kg dumbbells
>>41753633
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.
>>41753647
sure you do, pls post body
>>41753647
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?
>>41753661
not him, but you look retarded.
>>41753633
sure, it's easier to bench the same total weight with a barbell since you're not busy stabilizing with your wrist as much.
>>41753701
unless his OHP is insanely weaker than his dumbbell press he's full of shit, are you autistic?
>>41753710
>>41753661
him ^
>since you're not busy stabilizing with your wrist as much
dumbest shit I ever heard.
>>41753729
you have to be 18 to post here. hit the gym sometimes
>>41753567
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
>>41753784
>>41753827
DB press 90kg total
DB bench 90kg total
OHP 55kg
bench 110kg
>>41753860
I'm going to guess that your core is weak or your OHP form sucks.
Do you squat / dead?
>>41753860
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
>>41753860
you're a fucking retard. the solution to your fucking dilemma has already been posted at least four times, and it's "stabilizers".
>>41753918
i.e. his core?

>65lbs OHP = 95lbs bench
>75lbs OHP = 115lbs bench
>90lbs OHP = 135lbs bench
>100lbs OHP = 155lbs bench
thats how it was for me
>>41753771
>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?
>>41756337
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?
