A barbell is a long metal bar with weights attached at each end, used for strength training and exercise. It allows for lifting and controlling heavier loads than individual dumbbells, engaging multiple muscle groups simultaneously. The barbell can be used for various movements like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and presses, helping to improve muscle strength, power, and overall fitness. Its standardized length and weight make it a versatile and essential piece of equipment in gyms and training routines, suitable for beginners to advanced athletes.
