Re: compund or isolation barbell dumbell or machine?? perhaps this will help.

Erm... the lower the number and letter the worse the exercise is.
in our exercise rating system composed of four classes, a Class 1 exercise yields the lowest NMS (this class is composed of variable resistance machine type of exercises) while a Class 4 exercise yields the highest NMS and is therefore the hardest but most stimulating one. In each class we may also have subclasses such as Class 1a and Class 1b. A Class 1a exercise will yield less NMS than a Class 1b.

An Isolation machine excersise is !a the bench is a 3c therefore the bench IS better for stimulation than the isolation machine?!:lift::lift:
