The four best exercises aree the three you listed and Military presses. These four alone can add lots of mass if done correctly

I thought that the military press was more of an upper-arm isolation exercise. Can anybody explain what makes it multi-joint?

Because both your shoulder joint and elbow joint are changing in angle during the lift. An example of an isolation exercise (Single-joint) is the bicep curl. The only joint that changes angle during the lift is your elbow joint.

ah, that makes perfect sense. well put, cowpimp

What technique are you using that makes these MULTI-joint exercises?

Watching a Cheech and Chong movie is a multi-joint exercise.
