Wow, thanks for this thread guys. Lots of great info.
I have a question about compound/isolation exercises. I know squats are a good compound excercise for the "push" muscles in the leg, but is there anything I can do for the "pull" muscles other than leg curls (they isolate the hamstring)? My hamstrings are the only thing that I can feel from doing these, and I don't really feel that it's helping me all that much.
