Maybe, although do people have success doing strength training individual muscle groups? I've only heard of this for bodybuilding.

I don't think I'd put a beginner on a bodybuilding program.

Not to mention, compounds mean learning the correct form for 4 lifts, where isolation means learning the form for ~30 lifts.

If you are deep into powerlifting or have been lifting for 15 years, sure, there will be a noticeable difference between training for strength and training for hypertrophy.
