I will consider doing these soon. My workout is switching from a core-training program to a muscle-building program. This will require some heavy lifting, so I will look into using dumbbells for deadlifts at least as an alternative.

EDIT: Oh, and back on topic, I should add my support for compound exercises emphasized over isolation. You will get a strong chest if you also get strong shoulders and arms. Isolation exercises are good for that added umph and definition, etc., but they should not make up your core routine.
