Core Compound Lifts – 3 Moves that Should Be in a Workout Plan

June 28, 2020 by Terry Clark

The three most important exercises at the gym – the bench press, squat, and deadlift – are among the best building size and strength options. The sport of powerlifting is based solely on completing these three controlled, heavy lifts. In comparison, Olympic weightlifting focuses on performing two ballistic lifts overhead known as the ‘Clean and Jerk’ and the ‘Snatch.’

While there are many weightlifting exercises, The Big 3 gym exercises – bench press, squat, and deadlift – provide the best results at the gym.

They are so effective because they are compound exercises involving multiple muscle groups and a variety of joints. Isolation exercises train individual muscles or small muscle groups (biceps, triceps, etc.), while compound exercises build up size, strength, and power while improving athletic ability. While you cannot target every muscle group using only these three moves, you can build a solid and robust foundation. The Big Three include:

DEADLIFTS


The deadlift is the most complete (full body) movement out of all weight training exercises: they work your entire back, including your lats, your lower back, your rhomboids, and your rear delts. Deadlifts strengthen your posterior chain, including your hamstrings and glutes, developing both strength and muscle mass. They are vital for increasing your grip strength and, to a lesser degree, working your biceps, building solid core strength while training virtually all of your pulling muscles.

BENCH PRESS

“How much do you bench?” You’ll often hear that question as the bench press is the king of the chest and upper body exercises. When done correctly with a heavyweight, bench presses will work your pecs (pectoralis major), all three heads of your triceps, and your anterior delts (the muscles on the front of your shoulders). Bench pressing is the best exercise to increase your overall upper body size and strength: remember to focus on heavy training, controlled, smooth movements, and ALWAYS use a spotter for safety.

SQUAT (Front Squat)

Unless you are training specifically for powerlifting events, choose the front squat over the back squat. Front squats are safer for you and your lower back; if something goes wrong, drop the barbell forward as you quickly step back. But front squats blast your quads (thighs) while also training your core and abs and will help you develop strong abs and a solid midsection with no countless sit-ups.

Last words on the three exercises you must do at the gym.

Your body works as a system; therefore, the best way to train your body is as a complete system rather than a series of isolated body parts. Compound lifts engage and train the largest muscle groups in your body, as well as many of the supporting muscles required for stabilizing the barbell. Engaging these largest muscle groups can also stimulate a more pronounced hormonal response. By performing these big three compound lifts that stress your biggest muscles, you can encourage your body to release more growth hormones and testosterone, boosting your workout results.
