Reply to comment by bakedjennett in LPT: To get the most muscle/sculpting for your buck at the gym, focus on compound lifts—the exercises that recruit multiple muscle groups. You only really need overhead press, bench press, squat, deadlift, rows, dips, and maybe pull-ups. These will give you most workout for the energy you put forth. by [deleted]

You go ahead and do deadlifts then and ignore the study that just came out about it not leading to greater muscle hypertrophy compared to other exercises

In specific muscle groups yea, but total body strength and development is different from muscle hypertrophy of specific groups

The post was about more muscle/sculpting, not total body strength

“Sculpting” isn’t done with lifting. “Sculpting” is just body fat/water content.
