using the sample workout

Hey faz

Well, that sounds like a good plan. You can better gauge for yourself, since 1.) You know your workout routine, and 2.) You know your tolerance to them, your exercise limit.

So if you follow what I posted earlier, the super long post about isolations and their place, then yes, I would not disagree with you and would say that that really does sound like a good plan. You know your stuff pretty well, so I wouldn't doubt you'd have a good cycle.

Hey, you don't do too bad, thanks for stepping in there, the other guys should be aware that there are other experts here, who simply have yet been categorized as such, and they make outr life so much easier

On the other hand being at work and trying to cover some of these issues ain't easy, specially with JV's posts, they are a mile long...but all written in there makes pretty good sense.

To cut a long story short, I second JV in terms of getting your iso's in early even though I have been doing it the other way round

, basically because of the load ast a later stage and because the iso's simply rob a lot of time in a heavy routine where you are trying to put in 2 to 3 sets.

From the "pimp my HST" and FAQ-E books, the strectch of isolation exercises is benefitial therfore they are there for a purpose, but yep, once the load is heavy enough, all the necessary muscles are engaged in compounds and therefore the iso's become a bit of a waste.

I for one am also "hardheaded" and keep doing them, but then if you do the same go to one that provides as much strectch as possible

Guys, I am really running short of time here
