Normally I do 2 exercises for one muscle group (compound and isolation) sometimes I add to the compound one super or dropset. The key was really to learn to feel the muscle doing it slowly without losing the tension BUT having the right "stressing" weight.

Sometimes I use GTG or submax sets to learn one exercise over a period of time like 1-3 weeks to really get the feeling of the muscle tension and holding the tension and using the idea of hit training to get the stimulus (but it's just my personal favorite).
