Am i fucking myself over by doing compounds only?
Started out with some shitty beginner isolation programm i snagged of the web
Tried SL out and i sort of feel weaker, if that makes sense, although i'm moving more weight.

That's natural, actually. As you get stronger things that were hard for you to do in the past will become easier. It won't feel like your exerting as much effort to do those tasks.

you'd be fucking yourself more if you only did isolation/machines.
SL is the biggest meme on /fit/ btw.

Okay, what's a good strength routine, then?

That's what feeling stronger is like you dingus
>>37911329
you feel tired but you aren't weaker
weights that you used to make a lot of effort to move will be used as warm-up soon

No.
Do them for the rest of your life.

Just add some curls and calf raises and quit worrying if the compound police will come get you. Pretty much every strength athlete with a damn does some isolation work. It shouldn't be the majority of what you do, but it will make you stronger and improve your physique.
Add the following isolation items:
Curls
Tricep push downs or tricep extensions
Dumbbell lateral raises
Calf raises at home in the shower
Wrist curls at home with small Dumbbells
Also do dumbbell rows if you aren't already doing them.

Depends on how strong you are yet.
More advanced athletes need more exercises and it is advantegeous for both CNS, joints, etc. to do lots of accessories and volume.

I too would like to know why SL is so bad. The only reason I don't do SS is the cleans, and other than that they are pretty much the same.

It's not bad.
Its a good routine and if you just add some isolation exercises to it then its a great routine.
