Examples of Compound Exercises

Let’s take a closer look at some of the finest compound exercises you can engage in.

Examples of compound exercises include squats, deadlifts, clean and press, bent rows, and bench press.

For an in-depth example, let’s look at deadlifts.

Deadlifts are a phenomenal full-body exercise. Nearly every muscle in your body is stimulated in the one singular movement of the deadlift: Your back, shoulders, arms, legs, forearms, quads, glutes, and hamstrings are all involved in the movement.

With such intensity as the deadlift and similar compound exercises, maximum levels of natural growth hormone and testosterone will be able to released, promoting and stimulating increased muscle growth.

Additionally, maximum stimulation of the metabolic and cardiovascular systems will be promoted as well.

Each compound exercise and compound movement has different primary muscle movers. Primary muscle movers refer to the main muscle group that is being worked in a compound exercise, even though the exercise is working and benefiting other muscle groups as well.

If you are rushed for time or if you want to try something new with your workout routine, give compound exercises a try. These will be able to provide you with maximum results, maximum benefits, and maximum excitement in your routine.
