Also many people will argue that compound movements, done improperly or tweaked to be performed as an isolation type exercise do more harm than good. Example being, bench pressing with a wide grip and elbows flared.

My big argument has always been, performing 1 exercise more effectively than say 3, is more beneficial in so many ways.
I'm not sure what flared elboys are, but I always keep strict form when lifting swinging bouncing and arching are cheats to me
