Want to guess what Fiona's favourite piece of gym equipment is?

It's not the rowing machine!

We love barbells. CrossFit has done more to elevate the status of the barbell than any lifting-related sport.

Barbells are one of the best ways to build strength, power and flexibility. Not only that, but they work a lot of muscles at the same time.

Proper technique is always essential. Master the technique and the load will come.

We get into our favourite lifts and why we love the barbell.
