Bruce Lee Chain Exerciser

by Joshua

Hey Paul

Quick question for you... I recently made my own isometric device which is just a board I stand on with a chain and bar attached to it. I typically mimic weight lifting motions (curl, shrug etc)to exercise. I go full out on each exercise.

However, I am noticing that I am too tired to finish the workout 5 or so exercises in. My question is...I read a lot of reports about the benefits of compound movements (mostly the deadlift). I was considering doing isometric push ups, chin ups, pull ups, deadlift, back bridge (Matt Furey kind while pushing in it), and v-up for abs.

Obviously doing all of these purely isometrically. Is this wise? My logic is, why not hit more muscles in fewer excerises rather than hitting so many muscles with a load of exercises. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Paul and take care
