can you guys tell me if the isolation movements i’m doing will be OK to use in the program 12 weeks to Maximal Size. Cuda, i know you’re doing the program too, so if you can, share your isolation movements too. thanks
Day 1
1)Narrow Stance Squats
2) Isolation–> Hammer Strength Leg Extensions
3)30-degree Incline DB Bench Press
4) Isolation–> Hammer Strength Chest Press (Which grip to use?)
1)Deadlift
2) Isolation–> Reverse Hypers
3)Standing DB Military Press
4) Isolation–> Seated Front Raises
5)Calf Press in a Leg Press Machine
6) Isolation–> Seated Calf Machine
Correct me if i’m wrong but, where I come from, isolation movements are those that only 1 joint is mobile as opposed to compound mouvements (multijoints).
yeah bro i think your a little confused. iso movements are those that work only 1 muscle at a time. chest press and machine row are not iso. just because your using a machine doesent mean it is an iso movement. your incline biceps curls are an iso movement and you indicated that they were not.
personally i dont get what your trying to do. the program was designed for a reason, follow it.
thanks for replying. I was trying to follow the program how he described it. This is what it says:
Day 1: Narrow Stance Squats, 30-degree Incline DB Bench Press
Day 2: Dips, Supine Grip Pull-ups, Incline Bench Biceps Curls
Day 3: Deadlift, Standing DB Military Press, Calf Press in a Leg Press Machine
These are what he calls “compound, core movements.” In addition, he says to “follow up the compound movements with a few sets of isolation movements. An example would be to conduct 3 sets of leg extensions and dumbbell flyes after your squat and bench session.”
All I’m trying to do is find isolation movements for the “core, compound ones.” He says to do this for each day, but only provided an example for the first.
As for the flys that he recommended, I’m going to do those next week.
