Here's a great article about Training Athletes,
by Erick Minor from TNation.

I like the concept of isolation exercises as an assist for working on muscle weaknesses in full compound lifts. Just not as the main component of the entire workout program.
I am not sure I agree with all of the points in the article.
He does seem to have a bone to pick with Trainers.
I somewhat disagree with the Total Body Training doesn't build mass myth. I believe it does and builds proportionate useful muscle that isolation work cannot. His point is that there is a lack of hard evidence that this works. The absense of scientific proof does not invalidate total body training as valid.
I will develop my thought and post them here.
