But stuff like this. I see it a lot. Not sure where the idea came from that you should start with such a bare bones setup. I recognize that most people start on the 90% isolation routines that muscle mags put out there, but going 90% compound isn't necessarily the answer either.

You have pinpointed exactly where it comes from in your own statement. The bare bones philosophy is a direct response to the b.s. you see in every magazine.
do you need a 400lb bench to have big tri's ... no
if you have a 400lb bench are your tri's big ... yup
I'm not saying its the only way to go, but most people will improve greatly overall by improving the big 3. I myself have seen the most growth from my arms when I cut isolation down to nearly nothing, and row and press till they simply have to grow.
