  I started at December 2004, at that time i relied a lot on machines.I do not even know what is compound and isolation at that time.I was also unfamiliar with muscles groups and what exercise stimulate which muscle.Therefore i mostly did all the ISOLATION exercises that i knew.
  
  I started using more freeweight only late in 2005 when i read more and more.

  isolation is when the exercise only works one muscle.
  compound is when it works 2 or more muscles.
