Is it necessary to include a significant amount of isolated muscle work in a lifting routine, or can compound movements cover all bases?
>>74609721curls are just about mandatory for looks, might as well do some triceps too. otherwise (pecs legs delts) optional.
>>74609721It's practically nessisary for aesthetics. While you can do stuff like rotating pulling compounds or bench variations every 6 weeks or so. To have a diffent focus. I've just found actually doing the accessories is what I've seen visible results with and not just the weights going up. I literally superset all my accessories together though because I hate the time sink.Like on a days: fly>hammer curl>lat raise>tri extensio>calf raiseOn b days: rear delt fly>strict curl>dips>hamstring curl>absMy heart is pounding at the end of it but it sure beats burning 30 minutes doing all these shits.
>>74609721Depends on how your define significant I reckon. Curls, lateral raises and ab isolation are pretty essential if you want to look good. Maybe triceps too.
>>74609721>or can compound movements cover all bases?only if you have very good or great genetics and you probably don'tcompounds aren't even that great, actually if I could turn back in time several years, I would've never put too much emphasis on them
>>74609721bagina
Compouds do nothig, isolations arę all wrong. Not na single workimg movement im this thread and there won't be any unless i decide to post again.
>>74609721>>74603339Why don't you decide for yourself. Many such cases
>>74609721Landscaper here. Compounds were good enough for working big time construction. But when I started chopping trees I NEEDED big biceps. I have a big chest and big legs and Indian skinnyfat flabby back from ignoring isolated exercises and only doing SS compounds. Isolate your biceps, delts and lats!
>>74611396>>74611466I look like this.I looked better before I started lifting. I hit the Johnny Candito WALL
>>74609721>Is it necessary to include a significant amount of isolated muscle work in a lifting routine, or can compound movements cover all bases?what do ya think? > compounds are retarded, there is global conspiracy to shill bad fucking shit in fitness industry, it's even worse than with dietary dumpster fire and it means everything u know for certain about fitness is significantly wrong, that includes ALL the isolations yes>>74611449
>>74611492why wouldn't 5 minute bicep workout work? or triceps? or abs? if u do those 3 it will take with warm up and some other stuff in-between about half an hour - totally reasonable for hypertrophy in naturals
>Come into thread expecting more creep shots>People are actually paying attention to the topicBut why?
>>74612188They are coomers and have gooned all friday and saturday nights so now they are paying attention to real stuff maybe??
>>74609721Source, I want to see her wrapping her legs around a big strong buck and taking his bbc
>>74609721It basically depends on how genetically gifted you are. The more gifted you are the less you need to do any additional shit

>>74609721>Is it necessary Yes,Biceps, Triceps, and Hamstrings are very important moving muscles that wont get enough stimulus from compounds.
>>74612514based swordbro
>>74612514Well obviously you need to do some chest isolations
>>74612667>Well obviously you need to do some chest isolationsThat's where you are wrong bucko. I'm not a fag.
>>74612514Wishing I was that lean
>>74612793why aren't you?
>>74609721>or can compound movements cover all bases?We're told this but it's not really true. I have about 25 isolations in a 4-day split. I try to hit every muscle. You don't need much volume per muscle group, assuming a 10-rep max, around 2-3 works sets (mostly overlap from complementary exercises), if 12-15 you only need about 1-2. The total number of work sets I do per workout is around 15-17 and takes 60-75mins. I also have a separate routine for joint preparation which takes 20 mins a day.
>>74613021>no body posted
>>74613025I've only been working out consistently for 6 months, but so far I've put on around 7-10 lbs of muscle.

>>74613025Torso begging FAGGOT
>>74613042>baiting this hard faggot muscle queen
>>74612369> white woman with body of a Chinese toddlerI wouldn't goon to that either
>>74611396That guy is not benching 2 plate here or in any other universe.This is why SS is such a shit tier program.A big Squat or deadlift don't mean shit in isolation.
what do you guys think about this? you think its BS or nah?https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nVn1zy8ovDs
>>74609721A lot of isolations are good for muscle balance and injury prevention
>>74614040Of course it's bs gymnasts have like 10+ years of training in their prime nearly 30 hours a week of course they're gonna have big arms they use them more than a normal person uses their legs. You can't adapt their training to body building without a similar time investment which is just not worth it for anyone who's not being paid for it
>>74609721>Is it necessary to include a significant amount of isolated muscle work in a lifting routineYes unless you only lift for sports performance exclusively.
>>74614017
>>74614317>unless you only lift for sports performance exclusively.uhhhhh BASED?!
>>74609721You should do some extra work for your rear delts, that's pre-hab really.Same, but not as important, for the biceps.But everything else, it's a maybe (triceps, traps), if you really really want to (forearms and calves), to are you getting paid for this? (everything else)
