The barbell offers endless loadability down to a fraction of a pound and therefore a lifetime of training potential. With proper training the basic barbell movements are repeatable and therefore safe. Barbells also allow for the loading of real world human movements to produce adequate systemic stress. This is effective functional training in Hood River. Barbells are accessible and affordable. Machines and other implements generally fail to meet these parameters and are therefore not an strength training emphasis.
