The barbell is a classic bodybuilding and strength training tool for gaining muscle mass. The presence of a barbell and a set of weights allows you to perform many different exercises for all muscle groups of the body – without machines and other equipment. There are five main multi-joint exercises with a barbell – these are squats, deadlifts, bent-over rows, military presses, and bench presses (the only exercise of these that requires a bench). Let’s look at how to do them correctly – technique and tips.

In order to build muscle, you need not only regular physical training but also a high-calorie diet. At the same time, to gain muscle without fat, you will have to learn to understand the types of carbohydrates – avoid refined ones and prefer cereals with low GI.

Muscle growth is the process of increasing the muscle fiber and surrounding tissues, requiring physical training, adequate nutrition, and adequate sleep. At the same time, muscles grow during sleep, when the body mobilizes reserves for recovery, including through the production of growth hormones.

Shoulder training is the best way to widen your back and create a V-shape. Strengthening the shoulder joint is necessary for pull-ups, push-ups, all kinds of barbell presses, as well as for performing exercises for the arm muscles (primarily triceps).
