Compound! I've has better results doing compound the past 2 years vs machines/isolation for 10 years

Compound exercises saves you time in the gym since your hitting more than one muscle

BAkit kino-comapre un isolation sa compound? it serves different purpose, as we all know isolation movements promotes definition and building up your weak points (Aesthetically Speaking), or a specific muscle and compound movements are for building overall mass for a certain muscle group, siguro ang mas tamang tanong eh, High Reps-Light Weight or Low Reps-Heavy Weight

[suitor]

both dapat

[Hari ng Spakol]

it should be a combination of compound and isolation, it depends on the muscle that you want to develop.

[shaqtinafool]

Compound. You lose mobility with isolation exercises.

Depends upon the muscle being targeted, there is no full isolation exercise for a particular muscle since muscles act antagonistic to each other to maintain stability. While one is a prime mover, anoyher muscle will counteract to perform an action.

Avid weightlifter/college wrestler here. for peope who are just starting to lift weights, They should do compound exercises such as squats, clean and jerk press, barbell row, deadlifts. Nothing packs muscles like compound exercises. after 6 months then they can start to experiment with training splits which targets specific muscle groups , this is the time for them to experiment with isolation exercises.

 

Isolation exercise on a skinny physique is a waste of time with my experience.

unless you use machines and other platform that really isolates the muscles. Isolation exercises are also good for variety or if you want to increase the poundage of a certain exercise. ex. I got stuck with a bench press of 270lbs for 5 reps. I can not increase the weight no matter what, we tried negative phase training with increased weight, nothing happened. my coach then recommended that I train my rear delt, front delt and triceps individualy. He asked me to do 120 push ups every other day regularly . then he made isolation exercise regimen for my rear aand front delt and triceps. after 6 weeks I did 7 reps of 270lbs. My poundage lifts are really not that impressive but I just weigh 150lbs back then
