Compound Vs Isolation

[Eclipseguy]

I filmed it, but Coach Elaine is the audio/video expert...and I have no idea where she is tonight cuz she would be the one to upload it.

 

Hopefully tomorrow...

 

 

 

This is the dynamic row followed by the Power Snatch, Power Clean, and High pull:

nice vid, im really impressed!!! :thumbsupsmiley: was that EG doing the demos?

 

on the DRows, do i have to be concious in sticking my head up in front at the top of the pull? and for the power snatch do i also have to do the jumping motion?

That was one of our assistant coaches. You have to look in front or look up as looking down may cause your back to arch in the dynamic row

 

For the power snatch, the jumping motion becomes secondary after a time. At first you practice tip toeing

Nope...EG doesn't let anyone touch his camera...except EG

 

(So obviously that means that I filmed it )

well kasi talaga naman mas better ang compound sa isolation. hehe. health, fat burning, muscle building benefits.. compound workouts are better.

one thing i've noticed with the compound exercises, ang pinapatunguhan ng korte na katawan ko ay yung katulad sa mga athletes, like dwayne wade. nung isolation exercises ang ginagawa ko, ang laki ng triceps ko at lag ang delts ko... typical sa mga nagbubuhat sa gym. yoko nung ganoong katawan. pero malayo pa katawan ko kay dwayne wade ha?

I agree. Better in a sense that you build muscle more efficiently to a point that you encourage proportion strength and muscle development. They key word is better. Doesn't mean I totally forego "isolations."

just a thought on this argument. i've been doing tricep ext. since i went back to the gym last year occasionally doing unilateral tricep ext. about a month ago i changed my routine and started doing dips(bodyweight). last wed. i tried doing the tricep ext. again and found that my strenght has roughly doubled. compound exercises is the way to go!

like one fitness trainer said "Nothing in life requires an isolated movement, so why train that way?"

I'm glad that you were able to figure that out man. For me, you can never really rely on "isolations" to build strength. For the basic reason that less muscles become involved during the execution.

The pump or the hurt is and never will be the measure of a good workout.
