compound movements for bulking

[heyjones]

Hi guys I was wondering if doing Deadlifts, bench press and squats are enough for a complete bulking routine or should I do other movements for over all mass building, thank you.

those 3 are great but i would add in pullups/rows, lunges, and incline/militaries to that.

These are great basic movements, but I would add more in order to have a more comprehensive and complete muscle development. If you have access to training equipment that allows you to do squats, bench presses and deadlifts, you can definitely do more exercises.

You should always base your workouts around the big 3 compound lifts - deadlifts, squats and bench press but I would also add in additional supportive exercises to make sure you are fully stimulating each muscle in your body.

I would also add in db/barbell shoulder presses, bicep curls, tricep extensions, hamstring curls, calf exercises and some direct ab work.

I agree, get the other compound lifts in there and you will be good to go. These really are the best exercises for building muscle.
