Make Compound Exercises Your Bread and Butter

Compound exercises are the closest thing you’ll ever come to a shortcut in your strength training. These lifts will not only work a single muscle group; instead hitting several at once, saving you time.

Compound lifts will enable you to train all major muscle groups quickly and with fewer exercises, compared to working each muscle separately with isolation exercises.

This episode discusses the benefits of focusing on compound exercises—and a few cons—and gives exercise suggestions for all muscle groups.
