Undoubtedly the best exercises for bodybuilding muscle growth are Compound Exercises. They are very important because they involve the larger muscle groups and work across more than two major joints.

Compound exercises are without the best bodybuilding exercises you can do because as you are able to use heavy weights during these exercises other muscles are recruited to stabilise holding the weight where you want it as well as using the muscles required to force the weight in direction of travel.

The Main Compound Exercises are:

Barbell Squat-Legs.

Bench Press-Chest Muscles.

Deadlift-Back.

Military Press-Shoulders.

I would also include Pull ups as a compound exercise as it is such an important exercise for any bodybuilding or strength building routine.

These Compound Exercises should form the main stay of your bodybuilding routines. In fact they are essential to any muscle mass and strength training regime.

Compound Exercises build muscles.

Learn how to do them with strict style and correct tempo for safety and maximum benefit. Remember you are Bodybuilding not power lifting and you want to cause hypertrophy by keeping the muscles under tension. Each rep should take about 6 seconds, this does not include hustling and shuffling into position.
