everyone says that the above 3 lifts are the most important in BB. why exactly are they? do they work the most muscles or what?

Re: squats, deadlifts & bench

i personally think the rest of the muscle groups should work around these exercises.

Re: squats, deadlifts & bench

They are compound exercises, that's why. Basically, squats don't 'just' work your legs - the squat works the whole body (although it may be hard to imagine), from legs to even your core.

That is just an example. Deadlifts are the same. They work the back, traps, hamstrings, & biceps incredibly well.

Re: squats, deadlifts & bench

With these exercises your hitting so many muscles. A squat is hitting all your core muscles, lower back, quads, glutes and many more I assume. This promotes most growth in the body.
