What are compound weight training exercises

Compound exercises are movements that engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously. Unlike isolation exercises, which focus on a single muscle, compound exercises mimic natural body movements and provide more efficient training. Here are some examples:

Barbell Back Squat: Targets quads, glutes, hamstrings, and core

Barbell Deadlifts: Works the entire posterior chain, including back, glutes, and hamstrings

Barbell Bench Press: Engages chest, shoulders, and triceps

Military Press: Targets shoulders, triceps, and upper back

Pull-Ups:Work the lats, biceps, and upper back

Bent Over Barbell Row: Engages upper back, lats, and biceps

Incorporating compound exercises into your routine can enhance overall strength and muscle development. Remember to maintain proper form and gradually increase weights for optimal results!
