you have to mix both specially if you're running a PUSH -- PULL -- LEGS SPLIT it's best to start with the compounds first

say, PUSH -- BENCH PRESS

PULL -- DEADLIFT and SQUAT for LEG DAY..then you may add  other compounds like BARBELL OVERHEAD PRESS etc.. if you're pressed for time.

but for me personally running a full body split 5-6 times per day, majority of my workouts are isolation exercises..

Both compound and isolation exercises have their own unique benefits, so it's not a matter of one being "better" than the other. Compound exercises are great for overall strength and muscle mass, while isolation exercises are great for targeting specific muscles and improving muscle definition. I would recommend a combination of both types of exercises for a well-rounded workout routine.

you just need to get better at the following compunds

PULL UPS to WEIGHTED PULL UPS

BENCH PRESS

BARBELL OVERHEAD PRESS

BARBELL  BACK or FRONT SQUAT

DEADLIFT (any kind but my deadlift of choice is using the HEX BAR which is easier not to fuck up, LOL)

Both sakin, i'm following gzclp, kung saan based yung tier 1 and 2 sa 4 main lifts. Then yung tier 3 focus sa iso movements na trip mo

My man! I really enjoyed GZCLP as a complete lifting novice. It's also a great intro to the GZCL method and general principles of resistance training. I just wish life wasn't always in the way; di talaga ako makabwelo, kaya medyo stuck ako sa late novice.

But GZCLP (& the method it's based on) is always clutch when I have to design a program around my constraints. Nung natamaan yung knees ko at di ako makapag-leg day or any standing lifts (huhu OHP), I designed an upper-only PP split. Sobrang inconsistent lifting schedule? I built a super flexible U/L split based on General Gainz (parang GZCL 2.0) that worked as either maintenance (0.5-1x/wk) or back-to-back (4 sessions w/o rest days).

Pero goal ko talagang ayusin yung life sched ko and build my healthy habits back up para ma-run ko yung formal programs ulit like The Rippler (cutting) or J&T 2.0 (bulking).
