Is 5 compound exercises really enough?

I have repeatedly heard that you only need 5 exercises for getting in good shape and stronger.

Bench Press
Deadlift
Squat
Barbell Row
Overhead Press

Is it true?

enough to
>get in good shape
debatable, cardio (or just generally exercising for long periods) is crucial for overall fitness
>and stronger
no question you'll get stronger, but no way you'll be as aesthetic and balanced as that, you need to isolate on top of heavy compounds to look your best unless you're incredibly genetically gifted
tl;dr you'll get stronger, but not necessarily fitter or better looking

I'd guess that it depends on how many reps and sets you do, and how long you spend in.the gym.

Chin ups > Barbell Rows

Rows are just a less taxing deadlift accessory

They both primarily work different muscles. You can’t say one is better than the other you dense cunt. You should be doing both anyway.

I swapped squats out for dips and added chin ups. Works for me.

>Chinup
>Overhead Press
>Barbell Row
>Incline Bench Press
>Front Squat
>Deadlift
>Hanging Leg Raise

Deads actually hit my legs enough. My gf like my legs.

I test my max every 6 months and it literally never changes but i don't do them regularly anymore. My knees started getting really bad so i just don't bother.
