Compounds only vs Mixed

Compounds.

I've played with it a lot.

OHP for upper body, needs a lot of volume

Compounds are the meat and isolations are the veg.

Both are important for a good meal, and some faggots will claim they only eat meat like a "real man". But they're just insecure fuccbois at heart.

heavy compounds at the beginning of a workout for strength

isolations with more reps at the end for building mass

This is what I was about to start doing so that's good

it sounds like bro science because theoretically both high-rep and low-rep sets should build strength and muscle mass but in my experience they provide different things

Brown science is real, m8.

>Compounds are the cornerstone
>Isolation is just meh. It's good for hitting your areas that are not getting enough attention from heavy lifts because they are overshadowed by other muscle groups taking a disproportionate load of the weight.
>EG: OHP from behind neck may use for lats so toward the end of the workout I'm finna do raisers from the side (which is one of the most isolated exercises for delts) to hit my shoulders because I feel like the lats did a lot of the work.
>I also feel like certain areas such as the rear delts and triceps need routine isolation training in order to have a good healthy sized arm.

Another thing is that most Push-Pull-Legs routine start with the compounds and work toward isolation as a basic philosophy. Start with the larger muscles which seem to dominate compound exercises and then work toward the arms with isolation. You can keep the weight high as well while doing this and get a really good result.
