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.
You might start a workout with a heavy compound exercise for 5 sets of 5 reps. To focus on building muscle, you could follow that with a few exercises in the 8-12 range. To finish the workout, you could even tap into your slow-twitch reserves and finish the session with an isolation exercise in the 15-20 range.
