Maulik, I gather he's doing compound movements because they have transference to daily life-- the brain learns how to fire muscles together. And he's going heavy at least occasionally in order so that his brain can learn to efficiently fire a lot of his muscle in situations not relying on some sort of massive adrenal dump.

There's more than one way to do it. An alternative to working out in order to look fit, is working out in order to be fit-- with the not too crazy belief that fit people tend to look fit.

If you can sustain a lifetime of "Back and Bi Day", and don't mind that, say, lat pull-downs and curls develop muscle that is difficult to leverage in daily life-- more power to you. Good luck.
