Which exercises build muscle?

A workout starts with compound lifts that move many muscles at once, like the squat or bench press. Then medium exercises, and small ones for single muscles last, like the lateral raise. Which exercises add up to a plan is shown in the plans.

Questions

How many exercises per workout?

Usually 5 to 6. Tarvo’s plans have 3 to 6 exercises per workout.

What’s the difference between compound and isolation exercises?

A compound exercise moves several joints and muscles at once, like the squat. An isolation exercise targets one muscle, like the lateral raise for the shoulders. Tarvo plans compound lifts with fewer reps and longer rest.
