Most people who hit the gym tend to focus on single
parts of their body on a day-to-day basis. Although its not the worst way to go
about it, results may vary and there is a easier way to obtain the muscles you
desire, in a sorter period of time.
Compound exercises require work from more than one
muscle. For a beginner it is best to start off with these compound exercises
rather than isolation exercises because they put stress on your muscles,
joints, ligaments, and tendons. So instead of isolating separate muscles the body
is being built as a whole.
The reason compound exercises are so effective is
because the body is composed is several related parts. For those focusing on
gaining weight and heavy muscle you really need to focus solely on compound
movements. Doing so will result in you surpassing your target weight.
Examples of compound movements would be bench press,
dead lifts, squats, and military press. As you notice if you perform these
movements, they are related with the movements we make during everyday life
such as lifting a heavy box could be related to a dead lift. This makes these
exercises really advantageous in building overall strength as well
