I always do dumbbell presses, but my new routine has me barbell pressing. How many pounds, roughly, should I expect to lose or gain n this workout?

What's the average difference between a dumbbell and barbell press?

It seems about 15% more or so on BB then DB for me personally.
I can't really attest to anyone else as I train alone at home.something clever and witty

Well, sence you would be using a barbell you should start with light weight to find out what weight you are able to press but overall id say that you would press 10 pounds lighter or if you are strong at pressing you could even do more weight with a barbell than Dumbells.

If you can DB press 55 for 5 reps, expect to be repping 315 on the BB.
