    The value of iso lifts (???)

    Lets look at two back days, say you're limited by time to 5 exercises, assume same # of sets/reps for identical exercises, similar sets/reps for varied exercises

    Day A
    Chins
    Deadlifts
    Dumbell rows
    Preacher curls
    Narrow grip curls

    Day B
    Chins
    Deadlifts
    Dumbell rows
    Tbar rows
    Cable rows

    Wouldn't day B always warrant more overall growth? Let's leave elite competing bodybuilders out of it... for the avg Joe is there any value in iso lifts?
    Intensity, Recovery, Nutrition, Sleep- the only things that matter.
