Barbell exercises are commonly associated with strength and power components of fitness. Barbells are primarily used in Olympic weightlifting (clean & jerk and snatch), and powerlifting lifts (back squat, bench, and deadlift). However, we are not restricted to these 5 movements, we can also perform isolated movements (row and lunge), and compound movements (push press, front squat, thruster, and sumo deadlift high pull). Additionally, barbells are not limited to strength and power components of fitness, we can reduce the weight to work on our muscular endurance and cardio. Play around with the weights to focus on a fat-burning workout, a weight loss workout, a strength workout, or CrossFit workouts.
