Nitpick: None of the exercises mentioned there are what you would call isolation exercises. They are compound exercises. Isolation exercises are things like bicep curls, flyes, leg extensions etc, which only involve a single joint movement. Compound exercises have two or more joint movements.AAMerchant wrote:
ive been doing some kettle bell training for over all strength and i think i need to incorporate isolation exercises to become stronger ( dead lifts , squats , lunges , pull ups , bench press , dips and lat pull downs ) some how i cant explain why but it feels good and gives the extra push on the bike .. ive noticed this over the past 6 weeks or so ...
