when to add compound vs. iso lifts?

[2Thick]

olympic-style lifting will only get you hurt

 

[e2]

make sure that you do isolation for a few sets

I would do most of your workouts with compound lifts especially if you're going for strength

 

[chesty]

I like the Hammer Strength it works really well

 

[ROIDDERS]

make sure you're working out at a good gym with a good environment too

Bros it doesn't hurt to find a better personal trainer

Compound is where you will build your muscle

So the cliché that my personal trainer told me was that you should start your workouts out with compound lifts and then you should finish your workouts with isolation lifts
I’ve been trying this strategy for the past six months and don’t feel like I’m getting any progress. He keeps telling me to don’t worry and keep doing it but I’m paying this guy fifty five dollars for every session and I’m not getting any type of investment out of it
do you think I should fire this guy and try something else or do you think I should just give it more time?

Use both

Compound lifts are definitely the key. I always do them first because they are heavy and taxing. Are you pushing hard and increasing weight?
