Barbell exercises
The barbell is the simplest tool for getting strong: it holds the most weight, moves in straight lines, and progresses in small, honest increments. The big five — squat, deadlift, bench, overhead press, row — are all barbell lifts, and everything else in the gym exists to support them.
