when to add compound vs. iso lifts?

[Kiawerlo]

So the cliché that my personal trainer told me was that you should start your workouts out with compound lifts and then you should finish your workouts with isolation lifts
I’ve been trying this strategy for the past six months and don’t feel like I’m getting any progress. He keeps telling me to don’t worry and keep doing it but I’m paying this guy fifty five dollars for every session and I’m not getting any type of investment out of it
do you think I should fire this guy and try something else or do you think I should just give it more time?

i prefer iso lifting concentrate on a bodypart real hard

 

[stevesmi]

if you are new to training i woudl stick to compound lifting for the first 3-5 years

The compounds lifts are your bread and butter builders

Isolation, machines, and cables are OK to finish with so I agree there

you definitely need to learn correct form that's the most important thing

[JasonPriest]

I think you'll get good results combining the two even if you're a beginner

 

[wootoom]

definitely don't just do isolation lifts you need compound

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

every great bodybuilder started out with compound lifts that's a truth
