So going though some of the leg workouts on here, I have discovered on a few of them, we are told to start with isolation movements on legs, such as leg curls, leg extensions, before moving to squats and leg presses, and other compound movements.

My first question is, what is the reason for this?

Second, I have been under the impression that it is most benificial on upper body to start with compound movements, then isolation later in the workout, such as bench presses on chest day, rows on back day, overhead press on shoulders, etc.
