Reply to comment by crappygodmother 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]

Compound exercises are heavily based on movements we (should?) do every day when doing errands, cleaning the house, moving stuff around, etc… As an office worker, I’m not even focused on being muscular, but I do these movements to ensure that my body gets some solid moving and keeps “well oiled”.
