Description
Notice a trend? All of these exercises are compound lifts. There’s a reason for that.
They give you more bang for your buck, so you can build muscle without needing a ton of extra volume. That matters more as recovery slows down and your joints get a little less forgiving.
What’s the problem with isolated movements? Nothing inherently. But if your time, recovery, and energy are limited, they just don’t give you the same return.
Focus on getting stronger in movements that train more at once - that’s where most of your progress will come from.
