I also read about the idea of the weight of the arm assisting the pressure on the barre. That made no sense to me because the weight is surely downward, across the fretboard. Release the thumb, and the weight of the arm means your hand drops off the guitar! It only makes sense if you regard the elbow as fixed in its right angle, because then the weight of the whole arm (pivoting from the shoulder) would tend to pull back as well as down. Still, I can see that thinking about all these things can help. Maybe...

Barre chord Lesson series plug
I either avoided or faked my way through barre chords for a decade. I then got turned on to Jaimie Andreas Barre chord lesson series
https://www.guitarprinciples.com/sho...load-p-60.html There’s about 20 short exercises that build on each other and over the course of 3 months, taking about 20 minutes 5 times a week I have built up passable 3, 4, 5 and 6 string bar chords. The website and production quality isn’t super slick. But the system, which relies on training muscles and showing techniques through exercises you wouldn’t do while actually playing, will build the strength and muscle memory necessary so you can eventually do barre chords with much less effort. Most of the exercises are the kind you can do while watching TV or listening to a podcast so its easier to stick with them. Probably per dollar the most I’ve ever got from a lesson.
