That's why I love isolation exercises, you can truly feel all the tension in the muscle and take it to failure. Compound lifts feel as if im just trying to get stronger overall and the body gets tired before a muscle does
Love the videos Petey. Thank you so much. Would a well rounded program have the following? : •Main compound •Accessory to the compound •Assistance movements to the main mover •Lastly, any isolation movements to finish off Also, have you ever done a video that incorporates the different ways to work muscle together (ex. Push & Pull, Upper & Lower, or ways to grouping muscles together that compliment)? I've always been interested in ways to combine the muscle groups.
Glad you like the video 👍 I think there are many different ways to create an effective hypertrophy program. The way you suggested sounds like a solid structure. However, we always need to keep in mind that weekly volume (no of sets per muscle group) will always have the biggest impact. So there are many different ways to get the same volume. I haven't done a video on that topic unfortunately, but I may in the future
@@FlowHighPerformance1 Understood. Thanks Petey. I'd love to hear you opinion on the muscle selection, if you ever needed an idea for a video. Have nice weekend.
I have a technical question. With the limits for compound movements being a weaker muscle will stop you, and thus you don't exhaust the target muscle...isn't that only a temporary problem? If I strengthen that weakened muscle, then eventually I can get to failure on my main workout and I'm challenging more than one muscle to grow, which is good for Increasing my stability, overall BMR, and functional strength?
Good question. I think what you are saying makes sense when it comes to overall muscle mass. However, most people probably want to target specific muscles to develop their physique proportionately 🤔
@@FlowHighPerformance1 I like this response thank you! You answer makes me think of something I never considered from a bodybuilding standpoint. Is proportionality not gained evenly or rather, is there a disconnect between aesthetics and functional strength? I find this fascinating cause it would seem to suggest the people who look aesthetically the best may not be functionally coherent or have some sort of imbalance. And then I think of it from an attractiveness/aesthetics correlates with human evolution and mating, why would that be appealing to us? Is my assessment correct, or are there tons of other factors going on?
The only reason I use compound exercise cause logically it's just the movement that you use in your everyday life like just think when was the last time you did a quad extension movement in real life for a work but the moment of squat and the stabilizing muscles the core everything gets strengthen and will help you in your real life works.
I'am new to the gym so my question can be really stupid: let't consider a bodybilder that wants to maximise hypertrophy, this means that insetead of doing leg press which execution can be limited by the exaustion of a muscle before the others, it is better to do exercises that works in isolation the extension movment of the thigh and others for the leg to exaust both muscles? (I'm sorry for the tpo english is not my first language)
Not a stupid question at all. It depends on the exercise and what muscle limit performance first. In a leg press, the quads will likely still be the limiter of the set, so they will still get a good hypertrophic stimulus. That being said, it is probably more difficult to train to true muscular failure with compound lifts since they take more psychological effort to perform 👍
I'm a heavy guy 240 pounds, and want to lose weight. I don't really wanna get muscular but just lose fat. I was told compound is better for this rather than just doing cardio? Could you lemme know plz what's best?
Don't listen to this guy That's a waste of time you should be doing at least 90% of your workouts with compound movements doing isolations aren't necessary except for tricep french presses, then do those on a bro split for maximum recovery, and to be less fatigued after your workouts I promise you'll save so much time you this is the way to go heavy weight builds muscle for example Monday: bench press (or floor press) Tuesday: bent over rows pronated, and supinated, Wednesday: close grip bench press, and french presses, Thursday: overhead press, and Friday: deadlifts, then rest Saturday, and Sunday, and repeat you work every muscle in your body while getting optimal recovery, and not living in the gym 😎👍
You need to do compound movements are the most important and should be 90% of your training because doing all of those isolations are a waste of time heavy weight builds muscle period 😎👍
I hope you respond. Im a beginner in the gym. Ive been going there for about a month now. Im planning to create my own program focused mainly on compound exercises. Is it okay or would it be effective if i do compound exercises and then a little bit of isolation right after? Im afraid of developing the muscle plateau. If this isnt recommended, would anyone please tell me what program should i do? Im 5'7 and i weigh 85 kilograms. Im trying to lose weight and build muscle. Preferrably the lean cut type of body. Not that big but definitely defined and toned. Please help.
I have the same stats as you. Try this. Monday : Squats Tuesday: Chest Tris and Shoulders Accessory movements Wednesday : Off and stretch Thursday: Shoulder press and chest accessory movements. Friday: Back and bis Weekend off.
@@FlowHighPerformance1 sir plz make a video on how to do compound workout..mns deadlift squat bench press all in one day or ...like today upper body..next lower body...n wat to hit in upper body day only bench press or what...plz make a proper detailed video
