Haney's workout protocol also includes excellent
isolation movements like wo - arm dumbbell rows, one - arm pulley rows and
machine pullovers.
Machines and
isolation movements don't stress as much muscle as compound
movements do, so they don't burn as many calories as a result, so you should focus your attention on the multiple compound lifts.
Machines like the pec dec and other
isolation exercises are secondary in importance to heavy compound, pressing
movements.
Machines are great for
isolation movements.
Some weight
machines are designed to work multiple muscle groups, these are compound lift
movements, while others target smaller areas for
isolation exercises.
Big, compound
movements such as the deadlift, squats, presses, chin ups and rows are superior to
machine,
isolation - type
movements for toning up your thighs, butt and upper body as they allow you to use challenging weight while training a number of muscle groups simultaneously.
And let me just tell you this... if you've never done
movement - based adductor work before (even if you've done
isolation stuff on that
machine), you're going to feel this on the FIRST rep.
You can also work your transverses abdominis, to pull your waist in tighter, by doing stomach vacuums but I suggest you don't work your abs directly with
isolation exercises, keep a strong core by performing compound
movements and using free weights instead of
machines.
• Don't transfer very well to athletics / real life → Most (again I say most, but not all)
machines move only through single joint
movements (also known as
isolation exercises).
