If you’re looking to supercharge your strength and pack on some muscle, the barbell is the G.O.A.T. It's one of the most versatile pieces of equipment (alongside a pair of dumbbells) that you can target your entire body with and sculpt your muscles. If you're unsure where to start though, this simple five-move workout is just what you need and will help you on your way to a stronger, more chiselled physique.
Barbell exercises often consist of compound exercises, movements that work multiple joints in the body at once (such as squats, deadlifts etc). Not only are these type of exercises excellent for functional strength and helping with you with everyday activities, but they're also great for your cardiovascular health too as they elevate your heart rate. So, you basically get the best of both worlds.
