collegechemistrystudent said:The Riptoe guy said to do heavy compound exercises (that gets the bicepts with rows) and if you have left over energy, you can do high reps of isolation stuff, but only if they don't detract from the compound stuff. That is just for the beginning. Later, after you've accumulated bulk, you can do heavier isolation stuff to change the muscle ratios a bit. But in the beginning, only the compound movements get low reps. And they get a mix.
I thought you may be talking about what Rippetoe's program called for as far as isolation exercises. If you're following Rippetoe, then yes, isolation exercises are high reps. Sure is good I know how to read and comprehend.
