You forgot squats and overhead press.

Squats and overhead presses aren't good lifts for me personally because of a pinched nerve in my upper back toward my neck.

The deadlifts hit the same muscles as a squat and then some more.

As for anterior deltoids, the flat bench work and deads hit them pretty well.

I agree that squats and overhead press are great lifts. They are a great part of a basic lifting plan. Just not mine. So I work around it.

Just wondering since most recommendations for beginners is to focus on compound instead of isolation exercises.
