Isolation

[D Animal]

Is isolation movements good when bulking or should they be basically for cutting? Isn't like flyes and stuff for adding defintion? Do you all just add them into your workout or subs them in?

oh my...

Ok I'll just answer briefly. Cutting has nothing to do with your choidce of exercises. Its diet and cardio and supplememtation.
Best for bulk strength and size are compound multi-joint exercises, along with a high-calorie/high protein diet.

I think that going from cable flyes to heavy bench presses is much more of a shock than visa versa. I think it is a huge step backwards.

Isolation is just a fancy way of saying that it does not recruit many fibers. Stick to heavy basics if you want to have a productive workout.

imo a muscle contracts or it does not .fibers fire off to move a given weight be it isolation or multi joint they all build muscle .

Given this, would you say basic, heavy compound movements build larger muscle than lighter weight type workouts? I think that was Phil's point
