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]

Messed up my lower back in June since I wanted to give DLs another shot. Never again.

Yea, I'd have to agree. In terms of just pure muscular development isolation is most optimal.

For ppl who don't lift weights at all, which is what the OP's intended audience is, starting with compounds is pretty decent advice. Just focusing on the stuff they listed, hell even just focusing on pullups, squats, dips, and BP can build a pretty decent physique as long as they throw a few accessories in there too.
