I am trying to get even bigger now, I have already put on 20 lbs, but I am gonna start really focusing on the compound lifts. I already do squats and bench regularly, and I have recently added deadlifts. What else is good for getting big?
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
What are the best compound exercises to get big?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Yeah a lot of people don't know this. A lot of powerlifters will use goodmornings as max effort lifts, really hits your lower back and posterior chain in addition to core.

They're not. The big 3 are squats, deadlifts, bench. The big 5 are squat, deadlifts, bench, overhead press, and power cleans. A lot of people prefer rows to power cleans.MrS said:I knew they were back/posterior chain, but I didn't think they were up there with the rest!
Between these and a proper diet you can get pretty big:
squat
deadlift
overhead press
bench press
rows or power cleans
dips
chins
This hits absolutely everything except calves, but they'll grow just by you adding on bodyweight.
