If you have been noticing in my current training there is a compound movement added but it is not at the beginning of the workout like a traditional powerlifting program would be written. Since my main focus is not powerlifting right now doing isolation movements prior to my compound movement aids in "pre-fatiguing" a particular muscle group that will be utilized in my compound movement. This has shown to be very challenging for me - especially prior to bench press - but also keeps the risk < reward for my current training.
