The weight of a 115kg barbell is constant. The lifter's weight, however, will vary. If the lifter weighs less than 115kg, the barbell will be heavier relative to their weight. If the lifter weighs more than 115kg, the barbell will be lighter relative to their weight.
The forces acting on the weight lifter and the weights are balanced when the weight lifter is holding the weights stationary. The force exerted by the weight lifter is equal and opposite to the force of gravity acting on the weights.
At the beginning of the lift, the lifter's force is greater than the weight of the barbell to overcome inertia and initiate movement. During the middle of the lift, the lifter's force is equal to the weight of the barbell to maintain constant velocity. Towards the end of the lift, the lifter's force is less than the weight of the barbell due to deceleration and control.
The Doctor has a sister that is a World Champion weight lifter.
While just holding the weight on his shoulder, the weight lifter does no work! For work to be done, the mass must be moved through a distance … No Movement, No Work! (but don't tell that to a weight lifter …)

If the dumbbell does not move, then the work done by the weight lifter is zero. This is because work is defined as force applied over a distance in the direction of the force, and if there is no movement, no work is done.
An ant can lift 5,000 times its own weight.
To calculate the work done, we need to know the distance over which the weight lifter held the weight. If we assume the weight lifter held the weight steady at shoulder height (about 1.5 meters), the work done would be Weight x Height = 120 kg x 1.5 m = 180 Joules.
