My personal trainer buddy just gave me a routine that has zero compound exercises. He told me since I had been doing twelve weeks of them, I should change up my routine for four to eight weeks and then go back to compounds
Is he a scrub, or is he really on to something?

a scrub

That's what I was thinking
Depends. Are you stalling? Are you having fun? Are you happy with your gains?
You should always do what works best for you, and only change it when it doesnt work anymore.

what the fuck do you mean it depends. having no compounds at all is literally retarded. is OP just supposed to do curls, tri extensions, lat raises and leg extensions?
The only variation regarding compound movements that you should employ, are variations to the specific approaches to them. Highbar Squat, Lowbar Squat, Front Squat, Hacksquat, Snatch Grip Deadlift, Deficit Deadlift, Trap-Bar Deadlift and so on...

You can work your core, back and legs with isolation exercises. Also OPs trainerbuddy said to just do isolation for a few weeks and then go back to compounds. Imo that might work if he's stalling.
But its cool bro, enjoy your SS+GOMAD

Well i mean you SHOULD change your routine obviously but zero compounds? nah bro naahhh that's bullshit.

Ok Im the anon that said it might be good.
Fuck
That
Shit
Brah
Do your compounds and some isolation exercises, maybe do a week or two without them but dont do that shitty routine for ANY amount of time
>>35340722
there are plenty of compounds in that routine
but it's still shit
>>35340722
>Leg Extensions: 2x12
>Toe Raises: 5x10
Wow what a leg workout. Sure you can handle it?
>>35340722
complete garbage
>>35340722
looooooooool
tell him anonymous people on a north korean rice farmer forum told him hes fucking garbage
OP here. He claims it will be good for toning and slow bulking. I suspected it was garbage when I saw the lazy of any squats, bench, etc.
Is it still salvageable by adding compounds, or should I scrap it?
>>35340597
Scrub.
Is he skubby?

>slow bulking
>>35340722
