[GrindedDown]

Which ones are good for beginners? What muscles do they primarily target? Secondary?

What are some advanced compound exercises? What muscle groups do they work?

I recommend super-slow (10 seconds up, 10 seconds down) weighted sternum chins... Good compound exercise for beginners...

Squat, Deadlift = entire lower body (insignificant for calves)
Bench, Row = Entire upper body

What are some advanced compound exercises? What muscle groups do they work?

Worry about that later...

If you were serious, you'd do research on your own and then ask questions after you actually have some frame of reference.

for biceps wouldnt a chin up (palms faceing towards you) work the biceps better then the curl? or is the chin up better for strength and endurance??

Both are needed in my opinion for optimal growth. It's an issue of teamwork not either or.

Dwizzo Chin ups let alone weighted chinups are not a beginer's exercise. Assuming starting from scratch the muscle strength might not be sufficient to make beneficial use of them and perhaps just discourage them when they are unable to to negotiate a couple.

Beginers' Compounds still would have to be somewhere in the neighborhood of:

Squats for Squatting-start light or bodyweight squats.

Deadlifts for Pulling-start light and get technique

BenchPress for pushing.
When a sufficient energy and endurance is attained then one can move to chins, pullups, and what not to bolster growth and strength.

Some think that the chin up is mostly for your lats. It is a good bicep exercise as well. For me, curls are more effective than chin ups for biceps, but, I would do both if you can.
