Compound Vs Isolation


Recommended Posts

Compound for a full body workout - Lunges, Squats, Deadlift, Push-ups, Pull Ups (I hate it!). It saves times plus it burns more calories since multiple major muscle groups are targeted by these exercise. RMR is high versus Isolation exercise.

Isolation to focus on strengthening certain muscle group - Hammer curls and bicep curls are my favorites

Compound exercises specifically squats, shoulder press, bench press, barbell row, deadlifts, pull-ups, planks etc. target several muscle groups and are good for building a strong base. For beginners, or for those opting for a full body workout, I suggest doing each of these exercises. For more intermediate to advanced gym rats, they already have a strong base and prefer to workout by muscle groups. This is when you can add isolation exercises to your routine.
