Lifts are definitely up from the last time I did a straight up heavy shoulder workout, but I still feel like my whole upper body doesn't keep up with my legs.
Reason your DB presses is higher than your barbell press is range of motion. Im willing to bet because I see it all the time. Barbell harder to control and usually ends up coming down farther than most would like. DB's on the other hand are easy to cheat. Also I'd be willing to bet hands placement is an issue also.
