Pre exhausting is a useful technique but I would only use this every now and then as you won't be able to move as much weight on your main compound exercises. A sample layout might look like this:
Chest: db flyes before flat bench barbell
Back: cable low rows before weighted pullups or deadlifts
Shoulders: side delt raises before military press
Biceps: isolation curls before straight bar curls
Triceps: rope pull downs before close grip press or skull crushers
Legs: leg extensions and/or hamstring curls before squats
