Compound lifts may not require getting as close to failure as isolation exercises for similar muscle stimulation.

“and the research shows that that's much more accurate for isolation stuff than it is for compound”

“in fact there's some interesting data that suggests that you don't have to get as close to failure on compound lifts to still get the same stimulation compared to isolation exercises where you you do seem to have to get much closer to failure to get those benefits”

“And again, if you want to get into the weeds, probably using your single-joint and machine-based exercises would be more appropriate for failure, let's say, than squats or biceps curl, a lateral raise, a leg extension.”

“isolation stuff a little bit different single joint movements a little bit different you can kind of push those a little bit harder and actually probably should push those a little bit harder”
