Yeah we told you to do that but we didn't mean it! Strongman lifts for core? Yes we told you to do that but now you're going to bust your back!) and then when everyone's completely messed up and don't know what to think, t-nation will drop their newest "superprogramme" on the readers and everyone will rejoice for finally being told what T-nation really meant all along. Well that's my theory anyways.

T-Nation Article
Here's the thing that cracks me up: how the **** do you define what a compound movement is? People will say, "It's a movement that works all muscles." Well, let's say I sit down to do a seated calf raise. I grab the handles and my forearms, biceps, triceps and lats are flexed. My calves are definitely working and the pad is smashing my quads. So it's pretty much working every muscle in my body, right? Is that a compound movement? Or they'll flip it and say that every exercise like a squat is a compound movement. But I see people in the Body Pump class doing tons of squats, bobbing up and down like water toys. Is that a compound movement that'll make them bigger? You see what I'm saying? It's ****ed up! People always fall back into the same dogma bull****. I'm not saying that what they classify as compound movements isn't the way to go. I'm just saying there's more to building a jacked body than doing squats, deadlifts, rows, and presses. When it comes down to it, I'll take a guy who does nothing but "isolation exercises" and busts his ass over the guy who does compound movements with less intensity any day.
