Big compound movements train your central nervous system. Its also a little bit more challenging (interesting IMO) to master the movements for stuff like lowbar squats than things like lunges. It encourages posture and balance.

They are telling people of all ages atm that they should start strength training and they should learn big barbell movements ideally. They are particularly good for newbies to develop foundational strength.

They also found that your testosterone dips after an hour in the gym or so (cortisol starts to kick in). So its actually the best to work out an hour at a time...unless your on steroids. Then it is better to work out as much as you want 6 days a week. Keep that in mind when looking at professional work out plans.

So most people do an hour x3 days a week full body. But some do a x2 a day plan if their serious (an hour ea.). Cardio is only done for like 20-30 mins in a separate session of strength training. It's considered very important to eat protein right after working out. Some do schedules like: STR in morning, then HIIT at night (where you get str and cardio). but its important to put enough rest time between work outs (4-8 hours same day, 48 hours between days...I think it goes up to 3 days between workouts 40+).
