What you described is pre exhaust superset which isn't directly the same. If you was going to do a pre exhaust for the chest you would do your incline flyes and the usual HIT style then your next exercise would be incline db press with the usual;l HIT protocols. Then you would do flat flyes finish then do your flat compound movement. Some people keep with the isolation movement both on incline and flat then go into the compound movements but either way always start with the isolation which will pre exhaust it.
Now, you can do a super set pre exhaust but stick with the standard first before going into those

Excellent, we build monsters here
training is the key to growth or at least one element of it so why not completely recruit every single fibers as possible and put your body under so much load it has no alternative but to grow.
Check out my bracing and breathing it will come in handy for your lifts Bracing and breathing

I was starting to hit the upper limit on my cable attachment for low pulley rows, so I recently added in a straight set of d'bell rows and then plop my @ss down and jump straight into low pulley rows.
That bought my low pulley row working weight down and I've noticed my lats feel like they are growing further down my sides.There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

I recently added in Kels supported rows in the Smythe machine. I had started getting a slight niggle in my forearms using the overhand grio when I was pulling the weight up w/ my back, so this past time, I slid out on the bench just a shade more and did the rows underhand. I'm still feeling it; absolutely f-in love the feeling.
Edit: I just use my hands as hooks and don't pull w/ my arms, so I guess the forearms get a little stretching w/ the overhand grip. Anyway, I alternate these w/ Tbar rows from one lift to the next and from now on, will alternating the grip when I do the supported rows.There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

Weather was really bad here today. Some flooding, but nothing as bad as was down in the lower part of the state. Our power was out for over 14 hours today, which is minor compared to some of the conditions many are enduring.
I just finished aa long stretch of days at work and since the power was out, I took the last bit of my vacation tonight. Will be hitting chest tomorrow since the power outage messed up my lifting earlier.
Below is a picture of a stream just up the road from my house. Under normal conditions, it is a small spring/babbling brook at best.Last edited by almostgone; 10-04-2015 at 11:59 PM.

Ok, taking it easy and eating another big bowl of homemade chicken vegetable soup. Looking forward to hitting chest tomorrow and also should get lab results sometime this week and then things will get "escalated" for ~ 6 weeks.

Morning shake and watching Yates videos. Also looking at myself in the mirror thinking I look a cvnt. Starting to mentally prepare myself for this morning session.
Got a partner this morning so my favorite forced and negatives are on the cards.

Shoulders
Thought I would pre exhaust due to my RC issues. RC warm ups and stretches before the workout.
Single db side laterals - standing holding onto top of a top of a vertical bench
3 warm up sets - nice and slow, concentrating on the positive and negative, really trying to get as much blood flow into my shoulders.
1 working set to failure - hit failure then did 2 forced reps and then 1 half rep- then 2 negatives
Viking shoulder press
2 feel sets - controlled reps, breathing and bracing is a must with this movement but felt good
1 working set to failure plus 2 forced reps and 2 negative reps
seated bent over db laterals
2 feel sets
1 working set plus 2 drop sets
Shrugs BB
2 feel sets
1 working set to failure plus 3 drops, right down to halfs and quarters on the last set
I did finish off with
single db upright row
2 working sets to failure, hitting the higher rep range

Had a pretty good morning cardio session for 35 mins. Of course my back feels rough, but it's a rest day and the fam and I are going to the nearby park with some of my son's friends. Should be a nice break.
Time for chores.

Morning all,
I surely made up for anything I felt wasn't up to par lately - my chest is in bits - that real nice deep soreness has set(knew I was in for it last night) -
And my DTM therapist said if I don't start loosening my right side up more(PT maybe to get more ROM if possible) my whole R side from super scapula to up my neck and down my arms was so tight she worked on IT for over an hr(had that lady up on stools/chairs just for her to dig er' elbows forearms and scrapers deeper and deeper into my muscles - It felt great but I'm bruised all over LOL - feels awesome and kinda re-set - I need this every wk at least - so taking the day off I believe... I really have to start listening to my body - my ROM was so much better after but it only takes a session to put it right back into a bad position -

No worries there! We both will be completely safe. However, if some random trespasser shows up, then it's on them, amd it is off to the "cellar" with them. Actually, in the South we don't call it a cellar. Most refer to the accommodations for the gimps as a "rape basement".

Morning Igi,
Yes sir, Igi! I did go in b4 the DTM - I knew it would serve its purpose better... She assumes I'm on gear lol - but says there is no way you should be lifting the amounts of weight you do - she said I'm waiting for it to just break off :/ -- shit I hope not - I am looking into a chiro and a Manual PT who can give me more ROM & also stretch me out manually as well as lengthen my muscles - but she says your shoulder is actually locked into a certain position(all structural)
As I've grown since starting in here... my ROM(despite me stretching my arse off) is slowly dwindling -- she said I may need more rest days! May have to try eod lifting for a lil or... It was a total bummer but I'm surely not giving in - I have nothing to lose in this shoulder - well not being able to lift would be fvkin detrimental for me after getting back on track :/ idk man I'm kinda bummed but nothing I can't nor won't overcome

I'm going to try doing less ex's for sure just taking those ex's to absolute failure and beyond - I do have the confidence knowing I CAN achieve this! I think more warm ups are in order too!
Anyone w/anything to share feel free... I'm all ears
In bold I made a mistake lol -Last edited by NACH3; 10-05-2015 at 07:29 AM.

pre exhaust - A quick guide line would be start your workout with isolation exercises so you pre exhaust the muscle your working before you start the compound movements. The muscle is fatigued because of the isolation movement which will reduce the load on the compound movement but your still stimulating growth and putting the muscle under different kind of attack/stress than what its use to. Example would be flyes, cables pre any pressing, laterals pre any pressing, leg extension, lying leg curls, pushdowns, kickbacks, concentration curls etc pre any compound movements. That muscle only is fatigued directly using the isolation movement so when you go onto the compound its already in a state of breakdown.
