Yes I believe if you try to "rip the bar in half" during bent over rows at a 45 degree angle, you can isolate this muscle.

Impossible...
Actually, I challenge anyone here to name one muscle ~ and that's *ONE* muscle only ~ that can be "isolated" ~
Have fun.
I'm sure the answer won't be an anatomically correct bodybuilding muscle.... ::)
Every single muscle in the body has assisting muscles and either antagonists or agonists. It is completely impossible. "Isolation" still isolates only one muscle GROUP ~ hope this helps... ;D

I don't know if you're serious? lol

Makes sense, I know this seems like a bodybuilding.com type question but I noticed some bodybuilders seem to have a teres that bumps off their lats. Just wondered.

Not me, but Dr. Roni Kovačič can isolate any muscle he wants. He isolated the outer head of the triceps. Being nominated for The Nobel Prize in 2013. :D

yes of course as one muscle shortens another elongates. So from an anatomical sense you are correct. However when a bodybuilder talks of isolation he genrally means using a movement that involves one joint or one muscle Group(leg extension) and not say over multiple muscles and joints as say squats. The training effect is the difference here. Vince Gironda believed in this exercise below:

There is a muscle in the hand that abducts one of the extreme fingers (I forget if it's thumb or pinky) and is the only muscle that spans that joint. That is probably as close as one could get.

Thank you Donny, I feel vindicated! :)
