It's an excellent way to try and "even" your body but it too is an ego killer. Especially in heavy pressing movements.

Then you have kettlebells. They're even wilder because the weight swivels in your grip.
Been looking at barbells. I used to have a nice set, lost it somewhere after moving a dozen times. I might pick up another set. I know there's a lot of exercises you do with them, and them being free weights would be good.
