Best Compound Exercises

Don’t have much time to workout? Want THE top muscle builders? Want to develop

real strength? If so compound exercises should be the core of your strength routine!

Compound exercises are simply exercises that target more than one muscle group. For

clarity, exercises that target a single muscle group are called isolation exercises.

Anyway on to the Herculean strength builders!!

1) Squats

The good old traditional squat should be a part of any strength workout

its own!!
