Preferi esperar a poeira baixar, dar tempo de nos adaptarmos a nova realidade em relação a pandemia com a qual ainda estamos lidando, antes de trazer alguns pontos que podem servir de verdadeiras pérolas para todos nós, tanto onívoros (aqueles que comem de tudo), quanto vegetarianos (aqueles que restringem parcialmente ou completamente o consumo de produtos de origem animal). De fato, não imaginei que passaríamos por isso; já demos adeus a mais de um milhão de vidas (e subindo...) ( WORLDOMETERS, 2020 ) por conta de um vírus que tende a ser ainda mais perigoso quando infecta portadores de doenças crônicas como diabetes e hipertensão, asma, assim como obesos e indivíduos acima de 60 anos ( CENTRO DE CONTROLE E PREVENÇÃO DE DOENÇAS, 2020 ). Nos escondemos atrás de máscaras e litros de álcool em gel, mas sem nós dar conta de que através do desenvolvimento de Fitness (Hábitos Saudáveis, Educação Física e Nutrição), poderíamos prevenir não só as chances de termos graves complicações ao li
No physical training periodization, even the simplest one, should forget the importance of working the body as whole unity, but I am sure you have heard about leg day, chest day and so on.
For those favorable to functional training studios this is not very usual, as most of the athletes are used to working with compound movements, which work multiple muscle groups at once.
For instance, when you work with a front squat, you’re not only working your legs, as well as core and back muscles.

When you think about safety, efficiency and effectiveness, every single exercise, doesn’t matter if we are talking about compound movements or isolated resistance movements, all of them are functional in someway.
Biceps curls for example, by a first glance, can look like not functional at all, but if you are a bodybuilder, it’s totally functional!
I do believe that biceps curls are an excellent way to not only get bigger guns as well as a stronger upper body, which would be able to perform even more pulling and pressing movements.
If you are interested in losing some weight, getting a more symmetrical body, focusing on health and physical conditioning, compound movements might be the way to go.

Now, if you’re new to training or you’re just interested in aesthetics, getting bigger arms or rounder and firmer buttocks, than isolated movements might be the best option.
As a physical trainer, I would suggest a combination of both.
Keep Strong. When in Doubt, Go on Training.
