The only thing you have to make sure of is that you use a weight that you can use to get around 6-12 reps in per set to focus on hypertrophy. Also, you say you are adding in isolation exercises for more hypertrophy. You can get plenty of hypertrophy from just compound exercises, but adding isolation exercises won't hurt. Just make sure you do more compound than isolation and you will be fine.

I try to perform up to 10 reps, but increasing weight until i can only do about 6 reps max, and i try to do this in 5sets. Every set i hit the max.
I try to hit more compound exercises because it make the muscle bigger, not adding for now isolation exercises i will avoid overtraining, and get the most of it.
