Reply to comment by Environmental-Sock52 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]

Sorry, there is no list of 2 that will get you in good shape. :)

It’s way better than getting lost amidst the 30-odd machines they have at any given gym.

Start light and work on form as you progress. Your abs will strengthen along with everything else.

Squats are basically an ab / stability workout for me at this point. The weakest link will feel the burn and get stronger.

Every body is different, but mechanically they work more-or-less the same.

I don’t think you understand “bang for your buck”. If you can do a tri exercise that also hits other muscle groups, that is better bang for your buck. Two birds with one stone. Three muscle groups for the time it normally takes to do one.

Bang, if you will, for buck.
