For some reason it's about equal with me, and that's funny considering with most lifts I could lift alot more on a BB than the combination of two DBs. You know come to think of it, I can strictly curl two DBs that are heavier when put together than the weight I use for regular BB curls...

I think it is like a car, a 2 wheel drive (dumbell) with a total power of say 100 in each wheel would have more trouble off-road than a 4 wheel car (barbell) with a power of 50 in each wheel, even though the power equals the same.
