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]
I agree that the advice of OP isn’t great or exactly right, but you’re an idiot. Rows and pull-ups use biceps. Bench press and dips use triceps. Abs are used during basically every compound workout, even if they’re not specifically targeted. Overhead press utilizes lateral deltoids and traps.
Calves, I’ll give you. But again OP isn’t giving great advice. You’re giving out literal wrong information though.

Typical meathead lists off 5 different upper body lifts and only 2 lower body. Like I agree that doing this makeshift routine would help anyone that doesn’t workout at all, but this alone will not give you an “amazing, strong physique.”
More importantly, diet should be your primary focus if you want to improve your physique. Obviously exercise is also critical, but you’re missing the more important part here.
