Compound Vs Isolation

"Compounds" movement are a great way to build total body aesthetics and strength. A movement that requires both limbs. (Barbell Row, Squat, Bench, Barbell Shoulder Press etc) Yet most people lack symmetry in total body control. We all have one side or one limb that is weaker, less coordinated and or underdeveloped. This is where the "Isolation" movements come into play. Taking that weaker side and focusing on specific movement patterns and weight used. 

Implementing isolation movements in your workouts can be done by either adding additional sets at the end ( if time is applicable) or switching movement patterns from barbell to dumbbell, two arms into a single arm. This will create a more synergy within all of your compound movements. Moreover, working on your weakness will cause an overall gain in muscular connectivity and produce and greater strength outcome.  

Try to implement theses type of movements within your workouts to add more volume or  increase overall strength.

Stay Strong
