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.
The logic behind this method is that certain muscle groups tend to work together in compound movements. For example, many back exercises are pulling movements that work the back, biceps, and forearms together. That means that it makes a lot of sense to do your back and biceps on the same day.
