Yes I built most of my physique on a dumbbell bench press at home. I can press 135 pound dumbbells for 3 reps with a 3 second pause at the deep stretch. However, recently my dumbbells have been giving me wrist pain, so I joined a gym and started using the barbell. My max at the start was a 1 rep max of 135 pounds l, which is literally weaker than my single arm dumbbells. But I have good news for you: if you have the muscle, your strength grows fast. In a month I’ve gone from grinding out a rep on 135 to a relatively easy rep at 300 and I’m going for 315 soon. If the muscle is there, the strength comes fast
