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?
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
What are the best compound exercises to get big?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.
