Barbell

The barbell lets you lift the heaviest loads, which makes it the main tool for compound lifts such as the squat, deadlift, bench press and overhead press. It is also the simplest way to progress steadily by adding small plates. Learn technique with light weights, use a rack with safety pins and get a spotter for heavy sets. The list holds hundreds of exercises from basics to Olympic lifting.
