EXTREME vacuum.
Hopefully "extreme" is a little hyperbole.
The blockage is either before your vent or your vent is clogged as well as the drain line or you don't have a vent for that sink.
The odds of both vent and drain being blocked is minuscule. If its a older house that has had some remodel done it wouldn't surprise me to find that sink doesn't have a vent.

Sounds like a major clog in the drain line before the vent. If it was just a clogged vent, then the sink would drain but suck the trap dry. Since there is a vacuum when plunging, the vent cannot communicate with the sink - it it could, there would be no vacuum. Try fishing into the drain pipe with trap removed.

I'm a big guy, when In push the plunger down, I cannot pull it up with my bad shoulder.
If I brake the vacuum by yanking my thumb off of the sink overflow, then it's easy.
If I had to guess, this is an unvented sink. I can't remember off the top of my head if there are one or two pipes. Will look tonight.
