Started training?

Simon Dean SG

I started at December 2004, at that time i relied a lot on machines.I do not even know what is compound and isolation at that time.I was also unfamiliar with muscles groups and what exercise stimulate which muscle.Therefore i mostly did all the ISOLATION exercises that i knew.

I started using more freeweight only late in 2005 when i read more and more.

late december 2005...started with simple exercise with more reliance on machines than free weights since i m still too weak to even support a barbell on bench

n slowly progreesing to free weights n maj workouts like squats, bench, deadlift n mili press

isolation is when the exercise only works one muscle.
compound is when it works 2 or more muscles.
