Compound Exercises Effective for Muscle Building
Compound exercises are best when your main goal is for muscle building as this kind of exercises target several muscle groups with one movement.
When doing bench presses, you use either a barbell or two dumbbells while lying on a bench. The bench press targets chest muscles called the pectorals, triceps and the shoulder muscles called deltoids. Military press may also be performed with either a barbell or dumbbells and may be done either standing or sitting. This building muscle exercise targets the deltoids, the upper back and the rotator cuff. Dead lifts work the muscles in the lower back, the middle back, the hips, the trapezius, the quadriceps, the glutes, the hamstrings and the forearms. Bent-over row does well for the back muscles, the biceps and the forearms. Doing squats would cover the quadriceps, the hamstrings, the glutes and the lower back. Dips develop the pectorals, triceps and shoulders and pull-ups make you develop an athletic V-shape back covering your lats, back, rear shoulders, bicep and forearms.
