Isolation Does Not Exist

Anatomically isolation exist, however, functionally there is no such thing.

Please try the experiment within this video at your academy or gym.

Notice that we did not change anything at the shoulder joint, we only disrupted the foot, which in turn disrupts the knee, which in turn disrupts the hip and so on and so on up the entire kinetic chain.

If isolation where a fact, disrupting a segment so far away from the target joint or muscle would have no direct impact on it's function.

On a side note, notice Ricardo's entire body brace as I try to push his arm down. Again, some visual proof that muscles work in co-ordination, not isolation.
