Or you could just learn calisthenics, it's pretty much only compound exercises. Plus, you can do them almost anywhere if you know the movements that work the specific muscle group you are targeting. Has a bigger learning curve but the freedom and fun it brings are worth it imo.
There is a downside however, there isn't any progressive load, so once you are able to lift basically your entire weight in any position, you will just be doing more and more reps to get the same effect which is not good for strength building. At that point its mainly endurance training. So it isn't the end all be all sadly.
Btw with calisthenics youll look HELLA cool being able to defy gravity hehe. 😎

Reply to 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]
