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]
This should be "LPT: make sure to incorporate these exercises into your training routine..."

Those are definitely the core exercises, but you're going to overtrain specific muscles. For example, the shoulder has 3 muscle groups (simplified): front, middle, rear. You need to switch exercises to hit all 3.

What, you don't spend your free time digging ditches and hauling bales of hay?
