Reply to comment by CrazyStar_ 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]

Honestly I disagree pretty heavily. Beginners aren’t going to know what a compound lift should look or feel like. They aren’t beginner friendly in the first place. Machines that target one or two muscles at a time are most definitely beginner friendly. This post is all about efficiency. If you want to get strong fast, then technically yes these are slightly more efficient, but not noobie friendly.

I don’t think that’s necessary for most people. For bodybuilders sure, but for the average person this just forms an unhealthy relationship with food. Sure, you can start being calorie conscious, but most of the population don’t need to be that strict on calories. If they have a specific goal and need to lose weight as soon as possible sure, but that doesn’t build lasting habits.

If someone is experienced, id agree with this, but since this is most likely pointed at gym newcomers id definitely disagree. Newcomers won’t know what these lifts are supposed to look or feel like, meaning they won’t recruit the proper muscles and will be more prone to injury decreasing efficiency drastically.
