Build Muscle While Saving Time | Compound Push Movement

What are compound movements?

A compound movement is an exercise that works multiple muscle groups and joints. For instance, bench presses are one of the best compound exercises, as they work the chest, triceps and shoulders. Isolation exercises, on the other hand, focus on just one area.

Benefits of compound movements

Compound movements can save you time in the gym, help you burn more calories during a workout, and can lead to greater muscle growth (hypertrophy).
