Isolation Priciple
Synonyms in the broadest sense
Isolation method, bodybuilding, weight training
definition
With this method in bodybuilding, the aim is to keep the load on the secondary muscles as low as possible and to only train one muscle in isolation.
description
In the basic exercises in bodybuilding, several muscle groups / muscle loops are always loaded simultaneously. In isolation exercises, it is not the height of the weight that is decisive, but the optimal load on a muscle. Particular attention must be paid to using the right technique. The application of the isolation priciple depends on the performance level of the athlete and the training phase.
Isolation exercises for the large chest muscle (m. Pectoralis mayor) are e.g. Butterfly or Flys. The bench press is one of the basic exercises and, in addition to stressing the chest muscles, includes the use of the upper arm extensor muscle (trizeps brachii).
execution
This principle is not a training method, but only the form of muscle stress. In order to achieve targeted muscle building, this principle is applied to different methods in bodybuilding.
Isolation exercises are usually used at the beginning or at the end of the actual training.
target
The goal does not necessarily have to be to build muscle, but to define a specific muscle. The goal depends on the level of exposure.
Risks
The goal does not necessarily have to be to build muscle, but to define a specific muscle. The goal depends on the level of exposure.
