Well, it depends on your perspective. I would say practically any type of curl. But I do not do them, for a variety of reasons. I will occassionally throw in reverse curls or hammer curls, but that is about it.

That ridiculous ab machine that you sit on, adjust the weight, and do crunches with it. I have never liked that machine.

Let me elaborate.

People keep telling how you have to do squat/dead/bench, isolation (pec deck flys etc) dont work they say.

Well exercises have NOTHING to do with growth. They just determine which muscles get worked.

Furthermore, big compound movements are good for strength. But they dont make a certain bodypart grow bigger than an isolation exercise for it.

IF you know how to do stuff you can get lots of mass with isolation movements, sometimes even more than with compound movements. Because compound movements sometimes have a big tendency to involve other parts, thus less direct stimulation to the target muscle (chest, lower back, quads etc).


So in that way compound are being overrated (for mass).

Most definitly Tri DB Kickbacks...

Most everyone does them wrong, too fast or with way too much weight.

I have to disagree. Since I incorporated squats into my training routine, I have a dramatic increase in overall strength and thickness. (I have not been deadlifting long enough to be able to determine a noticeable difference with those.) Weight increases, tighter clothes, comments from friends, etc...all started a couple months AFTER squats were included.

Therefore, I have to say that the compiund movements, do have a significant impact towards size and thickness.
