Barbells are a great piece of equipment that provides an excellent range of motion, helps you lift more weight, engages multiple muscles at once, and stimulate higher muscle activation.

From compound to isolation, you can do various exercises with barbells to train your entire body.

In this article, I’ll share the barbell exercises list for each muscle group, from the upper to the lower body.

Whether you want to build muscle or lose weight, you can integrate them into your training program based on your fitness level.
