Are isolation exercises for arms even necessary? Most of the best exercises you can do with a barbell seem to hit them hard enough.
Also, how much of biceps shape is genetic? You hear people say stuff like "Biceps peak is genetically predetermined" but what does that even really mean?

Thats its genetically predermined. Like your fucking face, for example. People have different skulls, fat spots, amounts of skin, ETC, ETC.
The same goes for your biceps. Insertions, lenght of muscle bellies, etc that stuff.
Also, isolation for arms is for curlbro and roidfags, rest does not need it at all, you wont get huge arms anyway.

What's the point of lifting at all by this logic?
Some people already born with decent arms, like small endomorph guys or some africans.
If you train mainly for strength you should do isolation to work on weak points or rehab.
If you do bodybuilding you have to add arms isolation with no doubt, then no one get big arms from bb standards with compounds only.

well this board could be pretty good if it werent for people trying to act hard, making le ebin maymays all the time, and spouting bullshit just for the sake of spouting bullshit.
4chan has gone mainstream and it isnt a special snowflake anymore, its just another reddit, and all the edgy try hard autist-teens here makes it worse every day....

most people here act like they know everything. some info that can be useful turns into a meme because of a majority that is unable to understand some things or accept that they are wrong.
