Isolated workout routine and Compound Exercise.
When working men and women are very different (as always !) Most men decide to work your biceps and chest will solve the problem areas. While the ladies go for the head and the rear arms !

The only thing we have in common - we all love abs!

This article will discuss the differences between the two types of training - and insulating compounds - as well as providing fantastic exercises to get you on the right track to get rid of these problem areas once and for all way!

First we have to find the difference between a compound and isolated workout routine.

Compound Exercise:



large target muscle groups and work more muscle groups with a specific exercise .

For example , if you were to make a chest press this exercise focuses on the chest muscles ( pectorals) , front shoulder (anterior deltoid ) and the rear arms (triceps ) .

The largest muscle is worked by the chest ( pectorals) and the smaller are the shoulders and triceps.

Ask ... Why fatigues the body during this trip ? Do you think that the large muscle : chest can no longer lift the weight ? Or do you think the triceps and shoulders you fight first?

Stating the obvious ... Small muscles fatigue first , triceps and shoulders ...

Isolated workout routine : 



Millennium isolate a specific muscle to be worked on smaller muscle group and is .

For example : The triceps extension is a classic that many coaches working passionate movement . The movement of the extension arm is positioned at 90 degrees to a position of 180 degrees ( the front arm of the body and bring the weight down to the ground ) . By focusing solely on the backs of the arms , no other muscle is worked , only the triceps ...

So what is the value of an isolated workout routine Vs a compound exercise ?

Let's go over some typical exercises and muscles, that focus on the job :


Compound -Lower Body
Squats -Front & Back of Legs, Butt, Calves, Abductors & Adductors (inside & outside of upper legs)
Lunges - (Same as squats)o Leg Press - (Same as squats)
Step Ups - (Same as squats)


Compound-Upper Body

Seated Cable Row - Trapezius, Lats, Medial & Rear Deltiod, Biceps
Chest press - Pecs (major & minor), Anterior Deltoids, Triceps
Lat Pulldown - (Same as seated cable row)
Dumbbell Press - (Same as chest press)


Compound movement relate to everyday movements, they put the body in functional positions and get you stronger in those positions.

All the exercises in the compound section can easily be done with the help of a few pieces of Home Exercise Equipment. Health Clubs obviously have them, but if you are looking to save some money there are some fantastic routines that wont break the budget right in your own home.

Isolated workout routine-Lower Body

Leg Extension - Quads
Hamstring Curl - Back of the Legs
Butt Blaster - Butt (glutes)
Abductor/Adductor - Inside and outside of upper legs


Isolated workout routine-Upper Body

Bicep Curl - Biceps
Tricep Extension - Triceps
Shoulder press - Front and medial shoulder

Research has shown that by targeting isolated muscles for exercise is far from having the greatest number of advantages as a compound exercise. It feels like your doing a wonderful job as the burn is great!

An isolated workout routine usually done after a compound exercise . Therefore, the smaller muscle group has been pushed to its limit and now is about to go even further ! This is where training can be dangerous and the beginnings of overuse injuries of the joints / tendons / ligaments can begin.

Isolated workout routine, Isolated Compound - ABSOLUTELY :

If unable to Leg Press 80 pounds and the first engine is the end. Have a try to put the same 80 pounds in the Butt Blaster and see if you can lift the weight ! This will show that you will get a better car for the session using a leg press instead of a meager 20 pounds in her butt blaster and put your body in a delicate hatred unusual posture .. .

More isolated workout routine also put unnecessary stress through the joints ... The small increase is much less than having the lesion can .

find ;

Isolated workout routine have their place in the gym, although not highly recommended many people will do anyway. So then included in my beginner stage two programs that I feel I can at least help people do their fair if you will!

When muscles get stronger , one or two isolated exercises are OK to finish his training . However, their # 1 focus should always be to conduct a session compound.

So in conclusion never lose a compound exercise for one year , unless there is a specific training method that attempts (pre - depletion) However, for the long-term vision to keep things simple.
