the bar is a tool for strength. as I came back to squatting with the bar on my back lately, it came to my mind more and more, that the bar is a tool for strength and mobility. currently i am refining my atg steinbornsquatting. this is strength, stretching and mobility. other great movements with the simple bar come to mind, as overhead squatting, behind the neck pressing, sotts pressing to name a few. it is not about the weight, but moving and using a given weight under tension with good form. the bar is not superior to the bell. they seem to be more the same than different.
