To increase their muscle mass and definition, bodybuilders tend to do high volume work and
isolation training for the smaller muscles.
Together, set up a workout where you perform your
typical isolation training, such as chest day, but change one part of the workout to include more function.
There are exceptions to every rule, and I'm sure there are some of you reading this who can give me examples of individuals who have done
only isolation training and feel fine.
As outlined above, there are some fantastic reasons to look
at isolation training but I'm assuming if you're reading this then you're not too sure why that is.
Tip # 3 - Add in a transverse plane movement (most often neglected
with isolation training) and a mobility training drill within your isolated workouts.

isolation training it as well.
Just to throw out a figure for application, I recommend a 80/20 ratio of heavy strength training to high rep, traditional, pump - up
isolation training.
