Equipment Used Most Often – Barbells vs. Dumbbells vs. Kettlebells vs. Pulley Systems

Introduction

As expected, this audience primarily uses barbells and weights the most, but I was curious about which equipment ranks second, third, and fourth.

I surveyed users with four options: barbells & weights, dumbbells, kettlebells, and pulley systems, asking them to rank their usage from most to least.

The results are below.
