Reply to comment by FootsieMcDingus in LPT: To get the most muscle/sculpting for your buck at the gym, focus on compound lifts—the exercises that recruit multiple muscle groups. You only really need overhead press, bench press, squat, deadlift, rows, dips, and maybe pull-ups. These will give you most workout for the energy you put forth. by [deleted]
That's the general consensus for the optimal lifting form I think.

If you're reaching cardiovascular failure before muscle failure on compounds you're either fat af, 80 year old or extremely unfit which all mean you'd need the extra cardio.

You gave solid advice at first and then you said isolation and machine exercises trump compounds. What?

What is very slow? It helps building muscle for sure but lifting faster has benefits for strength, explosiveness and athleticism.
