Its research time.
Here are the basics according to Brute. Compound: Multi-joint lift. Brings multiple areas of the body into play to complete the lift. Example: Squat, Deadlift, Bench, Power Clean Isolation: Single Joint lift. Focuses on a single muscle. Example: Preacher Curl, triceps extension Isometric: Holding a static position against force Example: Plank, static hold
