a dumbbell press with 2 30lb weights is equivalent to a 60 pound bar press. In fact lifters are usually stronger on bar presses.


It is not equivalent.

A bar in the context of an open chain exercise makes it a bilateral movement, a dumbbell makes it a unilateral movement. If the weight is not connected each limb is lifting the weight through space without assistance from the other limb. Meaning each limb is lifting 30lbs. hence he is lifting 30lbs.
