Compound exercises require the  use of multiple muscle groups or joints at a time, there are many benefits of compound exercises. We like them because they’re efficient, saving us time by utilizing multiple muscles at once. You’ll see all kinds of compound exercises in your  workout plan.
- 
If your goal is to get fitter, compound exercises are an excellent addition to your fitness routine. By working multiple joints and muscles at the same time, you may end up burning more calories just because you’ll expend more energy. 
- 
Similarly, the multiple movements that take place during a compound exercise prepare your body to lift heavier loads than an isolation exercise. 
- 
Why’s that? It’s because your body utilizes more muscles to complete the workout, in turn signaling a larger hormonal response of testosterone which can repair structural damage and help you maintain your gains.
- 
Compound exercises are also ideal because they allow the body to move functionally and complete daily tasks with ease — that’s because exercises like squats and deadlifts simulate everyday movements like sitting down or standing up. If you’re looking to improve at sports or other athletic activities, compound exercises can help you reach your goals.
-
Do your isolation movements of smaller muscles after the compounds as doing them first can cause them to fatigue and wont allow them to properly support your bigger muscle groups during the compound lifts  eg. If you do tricep dips before bench pressing your triceps will be fatigued during the bench press causing you to fail earlier in the movement.
