Hello my dear Steemians, it is an amazing feeling/pump that you get after a good workout & I feel that it is better than an orgasm😜

Here are my top 5 picks of compound exercises that will help you to gain muscle mass quickly & will make you strong & muscular like Sergi Constance:

Let me tell you about compound exercises, these involve the working of multiple joints and more than one muscle group (a few examples are the deadlift, bench press, and shoulder press). Compound exercises are very effective & time efficient, did you know that just 8 to 10 compound exercises can work & stimulate all the major muscles in your body.

To gain muscle mass you need muscle hypertrophy which is achieved by progressive overloading which basically means that you need to lift some heavy ass weight as you progress with each set.

So let's get into it & start the muscle gains:

||Barbell/Dumbbell bench press||

(3-4 sets of 8-10 repetitions) Go heavy with each set

This compound exercise works your chest, back, arms (biceps & triceps)

You can choose do do them with dumbbells or a bar bell. (Pro tip - dumbbells give you a range of motion advantage)

||Squats||

(3-4 sets of 8-10 repetitions) Go heavy with each set

This is one of the best compound exercises ever & you can get really strong & sturdy pair of legs if you perform it right. (Squat is the King of compound leg exercises)

|| The Deadlift ||

(3-4 sets of 8-10 repetitions) Go heavy with each set

This is my personal favourite & the best compound exercise ever (the daddy of compound exercises) this works & builds both the upper & lower body. The Deadlift will give you immense strength so Deadlift is a crucial and flagship amongst the compound exersices.

|||Dumbbell Lunges |||

(3-4 sets of 8-10 repetitions) Go heavy with each set

This is a great exercise to get your legs into proper muscular shape & builds your endurance(strength-building).This form works your hamstrings, quadriceps, glutes, abs, and back all at the same time.
