Reply to comment by flyingShaq 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]

Honestly I disagree pretty heavily. Beginners aren’t going to know what a compound lift should look or feel like. They aren’t beginner friendly in the first place. Machines that target one or two muscles at a time are most definitely beginner friendly. This post is all about efficiency. If you want to get strong fast, then technically yes these are slightly more efficient, but not noobie friendly.
