Concept is simple; if you’re not braced other muscles can/will contribute.

The easiest one to conceptualize is Cable flyes standing vs Cable flyes laying on a bench. The more support is given to the joint a muscle is connected to, the more isolation can be had.

Check out the YouTube videos from Ben Pakulski MI40 gym, he talks about bracing a lot. Very informative.

Ben Pakulski has a YT vid on bracing that covers quite well. I don't recall the name but it shouldn't be too hard to find.

Ben Pollack also has a video about bracing, which is great. He is more in tune with bracing than any other lifter I've come across. I attribute a lot of his records and physique development to his ability to brace and isolate muscles so well. I typically get kind of annoyed when guys lift with there shirt off... To me, it's kind of a, "hey look at me I have abs so you should listen" thing. However, he's the exception... I think he just genuinely likes to lift that way but more importantly, you can see how well he braces and isolates the muscles he's focused on.
