People Also Ask

What is a compound exercise?

A compound is a lift that works multiple joints and muscle groups at once, such as the squat, deadlift and bench press.

Why do compounds first in a workout?

Compounds are the most demanding lifts, so doing them while fresh lets you move the most weight safely and get the greatest training stimulus.

What's the difference between compound and isolation exercises?

Compounds use several joints and muscles together, while isolation exercises target a single muscle across one joint, like a bicep curl.
