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 Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

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.
