Compounds And Isolation Exercises

Visit me at http://evilcyber.com

When you start working out or get into bodybuilding, you probably hear about "compound" and "isolation" exercises. What do they do and what place should the have in your workouts?

Me and Freddie say thanks for watching and visiting!

do you have a twitter? It would be good for promotion and you should be getting way more views that you do. Awesome vid!

[Evilcyber]

@Covert529 You are right, I should seriously ponder that! Thanks man!

Short but great video Evil. I would also add that an isolation exercise can be used right after or before a compound exercise for maximum muscle fiber destruction and blood pump. Gotta love supersets :D

keep up the excellent work

Compounds to build muscle, isolation to shape it. Isolation exercises always after compound movements :) Great Vid Cyber. Thank you.

Another awesome video. Thumbs up and a comment from me to help the most underrated channel on Youtube.

Excellent video. I love compounds but isolations at times have their place.

@Evilcyber I can certainly understand why such generalization would be used, but seeing how the actual definition isn't really overwhelmingly hard to understand (though in some cases more complex to a surprising degree) I don't think it is necessary. Moreover it is a somewhat dangerous generalization, because it evokes the need to define how much muscle activation is necessary for us to say that a muscle is "worked", and what it means to "target" a muscle, both very vague and ambiguous concepts.

Also compouds get your heart rate up quite a bit more and burn more calories.

@ftwatheist And what conclusion did you come to in the discussion? :)
