He needs to add isolations to maintain his physqiue, not jumps and power cleans.

OP, you can maintain overall strenght and even gain, but your biceps - for instance - will obviously be weaker without curls.

Wouldn't rows and pullups be enough to stimulate the biceps?

literally just need to add 2 or 3 sets of curls to the end of your workout on days you do rows

No, not at all. There’s a reason all bodybuilders do curls - hell, even pro armwrestlers are curl freaks.

It’s not enough.

Maintenance comes from total weekly volume, not exercise selection. The benefit from compounds is that they hit more than 1 muscle group and it’s still counted towards weekly volume. Maintain at least 10 sets per body part and you’ll be fine.

I like jump rope for conditioning. It’s also great for calves.
