A barbell rod is a solid, heavy-duty metal bar usually made of steel that people use in the gym to lift weights. It's typically about 4 to 6 feet long and has a smooth or slightly textured grip area in the middle to help you hold onto it. The ends of the bar are a bit thicker and usually rotate (called "sleeves") so that weight plates can be slid on and off easily.
Once the plates are loaded and secured with clips or collars, the barbell can be used for exercises like squats, bench presses, deadlifts, and many others. It’s a basic but powerful tool in any strength training workout.
