pre-exhausting question

Spankee · 08-03-2006, 08:01 PM

Can anyone tell me the correct way to pre-exhaust? Should the exercises be done as supersets or each set done alone. For example....dumbell flyes followed imediately by bench as one set, or 4 sets of flyes then 4 sets of flat bench. Any helpful info appreciated.

Back to back would be more like a superset or giant set. My idea of pre-exhausting a muscle is doing a isolation movement first ( ie. 3-4 sets of flys or peck-deck) then doing bench after thay.

It can be done either way... Most people would do all their flyes first, then 4 sets of presses. That's what I do for legs. Extensions then my squats.

I've never even thought of finishing the isolation exercise in its entirety first, but that could definitely work. Usually it is done as a superset.
