Combo lifts

[teaturtle]

Are combo lifts better than isolated exercises?

[Eszekial]

Yes.

[teaturtle]

Even for a beginner?

Even for a beginner?

ESPECIALLY, for a beginner.

[Clifford Gillmore]

It depends if you are talking about hybrid exercises as well.

Im talking about combo.

[Unreal]

Very very very strongly yes. Beginner, older timer, anytimer, yes.

[Eszekial]

I've never once heard of a "combo" lift.

I was assuming you ment compound.

Care to enlighten us?

[teaturtle]

Combo lifts are free-weight exercises that combine two lifts: you finish one exercise and move into a second without resting.

I think I confused it with compound too. I heard compound are better for beginners whereas combo's are for the more advanced.

[teaturtle]

So...could anyone give me some compound exercises?

Combo lifts, as you described, are commonly known as supersets.

Compound lifts involve multiple joints and muscles, and are beneficial to everyone.
