What’s the advantage of holding a dumbbell and do push up vs just doing a push up without anything? The weight doesn’t have any effect right?

Explain pushup holding dumbbell.
Do you mean resting the dumbbell on the floor and using it as a grip instead of having your palms on the floor?

yes. that’s what i mean. some workout ask to do this but i can’t get the logic

Ok. Assuming the spacing between your hands is the same and the only difference is the usage of dumbbells as a base, mechanically there is little difference.
The dumbbell may offer a little elevation which allows you to drop deeper at the bottom of the movement, but that is probably it.
