Embrace Compound Lifts for Comprehensive Strength
Compound lifts engage multiple joints and are superior for building muscle in larger muscle groups, such as the trunk and legs. Exercises like barbell squats and bench presses outperform isolation exercises like leg extensions and cable flies in terms of muscle development. While many recognize the benefits of compound lifts for major muscle groups, there's a common oversight regarding their effectiveness for arm muscles, including the biceps. Proper execution of compound lifts can lead to significant gains in arm strength, highlighting the necessity of incorporating these exercises into training routines.
