>>35355338

Post a picture of yourself.

>>35355338
>Counting dips, face pulls, and pull ups as compound lifts

Not going to make it

>>35355338
When did face pulls become compounds? And if you're going all out with just compounds why not include Barbell Row?

>>35355412
>dips
tris, chest, mid back
>facepulls
midback, deltoids, a bit of biceps
also requires a lot of glute/core strength(see skinny guys try to facepull 30 lbs and they are yanked all over).
>pullups
cmon mang dont be retarded

>>35355338
Honestly the only isolation I have to do is shit like db flyes but outside of that it's 90% bench, squat, deadlifts and variations thereof

I'm convinced isolations don't do shit

>>35355811
what do you look like?

>>35355832
yeah you look like a guy who does mostly compounds, you get a different look from doing a lot of isolation. More "aesthetic" but less functional

>>35355832
y u hide behind phone? what do you do for dat dere belly?

>>35355811
Lateral raises though. How could you not wanna do those? #1 isolation imo

>>35355871
Lateral raises especially are garbage imo

>>35355868
Not really hiding brah
I eat a lot. Gotta get to 264

It's like the one thing I've got

>>35355925
Fuck it, I'll drop lateral raises for a month and make sure I OHP twice a week. I'll see what happens

Lateral raises > ohp

Shoulder pressing is overrated

>>35356009
Post those boulder shoulders then

>>35355981
Tbf I haven't been hitting ohp but I miss it a lot

>>35355925
Why bulking to 264 boardyshorts

>>35356058
120kg weight class in usapl ;)

>>35355338
you can exercise every muscle in the body with a barbell right? even the awkward ones?

>>35356072

You could.

But it'd be way more of a pain than making use of other equipment.

>>35355362
The only compounds Cutler did was pharmaceutical compounds.

>>35355975
How many years have you been lifting?

>>35356099
thats good cause thats im getting with a decline bench and a cage

>>35355338
I remember I trained like that for a year. Then I tore a bicep deadlifting and then the other two months later in BJJ. Been there; done that. Now that I'm not retarded any more, I see curls and arm extensions as prehab work - which they are - even if bros and bras go overboard for "aesthetics"

Your body is a kinetic chain and chains are only as strong as their weakest link. When one of those links gives out, the strength of all the other ones is irrelevant.
TL;DR arm isos are worse than cancer, but fucking do them if you truly care about your body

>>35356104
top heh

>>35356115
2 years and 2 months lad

>>35355338
i dont do many isolations when i'm cutting but i dont see a reason why not to if you're bulking

>>35356063
How the lifts coming with that bulk...it sucks I have to cut from 255 to below 231 for California's strongest man on a decent note I'm already at 245

>>35356713
>how are the lifts coming?
Seemingly good. I'll find out for sure January 10 for a USPA meet at Pendleton. Should be set for some pretty juicy prs

What's up with you? How is the strongman scene in California?

>>35355832
What's your cycle?

>>35356115
9 got on roids when I was 4 years in

>>35356811
>cycle
Well I usually wake up around 8 or 9 since the semester ended, drink a French press and then I head to the gym on an empty stomach. After that it's either Netflix and chill with my gf or homies or work. Hit the pillow at around midnight.

>>35355338
face pulls are pretty much isolation..

i do rear delt rows instead.

side lateral raises are worth doing, though

>>35356910
>side lateral raises

enjoy your shoulder impingement

>>35356887

>lateral raises

Enjoy lifelong shoulder pain

>>35356939
you can do them without internally rotating your shoulder. just bend over, silly faggot.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5sNYB1Q6aM
enjoy your DYEL delts

>>35356988
literally just use proper form.
you can impinge your shoulders with OHP if you do them improperly as well...

>>35356009
lies and slander
https://kinobody.com/workouts-and-exercises/how-to-get-big-shoulders-without-steroids/

you should be doing both.

that guy tried doing side lat raises only to grow his shoulders, and his shoulders shrank.

you have to do both.
arnold presses and cuban presses are good to do as well.

>>35355832
well shit if this is the result of doing almost only compounds and variation of compounds - then i won't bother making a routine any more complex

>>35355832
People seem to ignore the fact that boardshorts isn't natty, he said so himself in a plg...

>>35357056
He might not be natty, but he only did one cycle of test and his routine is obviously working enough to allow him to keep his gains

>>35357063
I haven't said otherwise friend, I like boardshorts

>>35357063
Serious question here:
At what point can I say I'm drug free? I already feel like it was long enough ago that it doesn't matter now. Seems like I'll always have this cross to bear

>>35355832
And thats why you do Isolations If you care about looking good

Face-pull is isolation though

>>35356156

>i tore a biceps because i used mixed grip and didn't fully extend my arm

after 4 months of training I only just added curls and triceps extensions as accessory
compounds>bw>isolations and statics
do what you must to progress on your lifts and don't worry too much about what people tell you you NEED TO be doing

bs is pretty good-looking except for his disproportionate traps

>>35359815
>implying
I tried to help. Oh well

>>35360120
I do nothing for traps besides the normal PL compounds (steroids joke in there)

They picked me anon.

>>35355338
are core exercises considered isolations?
beside core i do back extension and a some curl or lat raises after i'm done with my oly routine

>>35361204
Eh maybe technically, but your erectors and abs are a lot of muscle so it's not like doing calf raises

>>35356181
Board shorts what are your lifting stats

for deadlifts
bent over rows
benchpress
squat
ohp

PLS RESPOND

>>35361442
Deadlift 600
Pendlay row 255 5x5 pretty strict form
335 paused bench, probably gonna pr that in January
460 squat, hoping for 500 in January
220 ohp a long time ago but it's been a while since I've done ohp consistently

>>35355868
>>35355832
Op has made it.

>>35362931
We don't know what op looks like dude

I'm not OP

>>35355338

Mah nigga.

For lower body, I squat and DL.

For upper body, I bench, OHP, row, and do pull-ups and dips.
