Reply to comment by Afferbeck_ 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]

This is what I call selective comprehension. I clearly said that anyone wanting to get into lifting should find a program that fits their needs which is much better advice than “do compounds” or “do isolations”.

Tricep pulldowns / extensions and shrugs will give you far more bang for buck than dips and rows for those respective muscles.

This is not good advice btw. Completely ignores biceps, triceps, traps, abs, calves, and lateral delts. You can “sculpt” these muscles much more with targeted exercises than spamming compounds, especially if you want to build a proper aesthetic physique.

The best advice would’ve been to pick up a dedicated workout program that aligns with whatever an individual’s goals are.
