Are you devoting an entire day of your workout program to biceps and triceps? Do you have a separate day for hamstrings and quads? What some guys don’t realize is that compound lifts work many muscles indirectly.

Take the bench press: If you perform this exercise on your “chest day,” you will also stimulate your triceps fairly heavily. This means that by carefully choosing your exercises, you can incorporate more muscle groups into every workout, which will provide better results in less time.

Keep in mind that you don’t always have to do very specific exercises to target certain smaller muscles; by simply working them indirectly, you will see improvements in your strength and size.
