Certain exercises such as skull crushers among others are more injury prone if you do it with dumbbells because you have more degrees of freedom.
There’s also larger interrelated mind muscle connection if you do things with a barbell i believe? (The movement gets more coupled with lifting one interconnected source of weight rather than two independent ones?)
I for example activate my abs more with a barbell shoulder press than I do with dumbbells so it activates your body more usually. (same thing for bench press)
