In other words, it's easier to put 300 lbs on a barbell than it is to find two 150+lb dumbells; not to mention that 150lbs dumbells are ungainly and awkward to hold.
Additionally, to answer a previous post, being able to bench press 100lb dumbells doesn't necessarily mean that they will be able to out bench someone who benches using a barbell. I can do 100lb dbs bench presses for reps but only 225 lb on the barbell bench press.

ya i use to be able to do 100's but not i stick to the bar more, i find it really triggers my left shoulder doing dunbells so i drop down to like 75-80ish now.
helps on the shoulder, just like dunbell shoulder press i always do the bar now on the squat rack with the seat
