I'm looking around at a few routines and a few make use of lots of compound exercises.

Being a newbie the only compund exercises that I really know about are the bench press and dips,which work both for the triceps and chest.

What are some more good compound exercises
 
Compound exercises are any exercises that work more then 1 muscle group.

Shoulder Press, Squat, Reverse Grip Pulldowns and double crunch are a few I can think of right now.
 
following on with what cruxis said

compound exercises are
squats, deadlifts, any pressing movement, dips, chins/pulldowns, rows.

Compound exercises use multiple joints [FONT=Arial, Verdana]and targeting more than one large muscle group [/FONT]while an isolation exercise would use a single joint [FONT=Arial, Verdana] targeting one specific muscle[/FONT]
