This isn't great advice. Bench press is one of the poorest exercises you can do for building muscle as it provides almost zero range of motion in the chest. Deadlifts are great time savers, but zero top-level professional athletes use them & you'll never see them recommended by any physio because of how much they contribute to lower back issues - which are now everywhere.

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]
