I can do more weight with DBs than I can with the straight bar. I scratch my head on this one. I always thought its suppose to be the opposite. I even go lower with th DBs than on straight bar. Anyone notice this when they lift?

Maybe you've worked w/ DB's more than you have BB's? DB's work more with the stabilizers...maybe you are genetically gifted like that. Who knows. Try working w/ BB's for 6-10 week cycles, then switch back over to DB's, see if that evens things out some. The best thing to do honestly is to just keep doing what you're doing and work w/ DB's and BB's...get the best of both worlds.

FWIW, standard or olympic adjustable dumbbells are unwieldy compared to fixed weight dumbbells (or branded adjustable dumbbell systems). So when you compare, it may make a difference which kind of dbs you're using.
I like fixed weight dbs better than a bar for benching. No worries about getting stuck under them, or hitting the safety bars and throwing my balance off, or loading the bar, or shoulder issues, and they give a range of motion that a bar doesn't. I only have a bar now, and adjustable dbs. A complete pro style set would be pretty damn neat, though it would require a crazy amount of storage space.www.tworepcave.com
