Eric 'Natty King' Bugenhagen says complete isolation exercises are a waste of time



Cliffs:

- Single joint isos like concentration curls are a waste of time
- Barbell/cheat curls are better as you hit the biceps along with working your back/traps etc as they get involved too
- Rather than 3 sets of concentration, spider and another curl variation, do 9 sets of barbell curls
- Machines are good for injury rehab etc but free weight, multi-joint isolations are better bang for your buck

Thoughts?

I really don't know what to believe. Some just say "im a bodybuilder, not a weight lifter. Do 1000 different light weight isolations." Others are like "Lift heavy compounds only. Progressive overload! Hip drauve!"

I think it also matters whether or not you're enhanced and a lot of people fail to take this into account.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks of that when they hear the name Bugenhagen.

Thoughts? Thought you said multi-joint isolations. Checked twice. Yup, you did.

I don’t necessarily disagree with him, tbh. But machines can have their place, especially cables. Cheat curls can fuk up a lot of people’s wrist/elbows/shoulders. I’m not a fan of a lot of volume/variety for arms for natty lifters. Using a cheat curl to hit your back and traps is a waste of time. Okay, guess I disagree with him a lot.

Edit: @ 8:50 he talks about a football team switching to machines and performance suffering. That was Penn State.

studies show crossfit bodies look worse than people who do not lift at all.

You have to understand that he's not a bodybuilder. His content is primarily for people who are athletes. For this reason, I would agree with him. Pure isolation, single joint, exercises are really for those who are bodybuilders, which is fine. Everyone else would see better results doing non-single joint exercises such as those he listed.
