Compound exercises are those that involve more than one joint and more than one muscle group throughout the range of their motion. Examples of compound exercises are: Squats (with barbell and dumbbells) Lunges. Deadlifts. Leg Press. Barbell Bench Press, Dumbbell Bench Press (flat, incline, decline) Close Grip Bench Press.
Understand for this discussion that bilateral exercises refer to movements where the same limb(s) work at the same time and do the same task. Any barbell lift is bilateral, as are dumbbell exercises where both sides work at the same time. Machine and cable work where both sides are involved at the same time are bilateral, too.
