mr yoyo Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 has anyone ever heard of "pre-exhaustion" being used in a circuit type training??ie...start with BB bench press, do 20 reps at 50% ,then 10 at your 10rmax? and so on through a whole body circuit? i always had a different understanding of pre-exhaust, but would this work??Seemed kinda odd, as its just like doing a whole lot of warmup sets?

Cammo Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 It'd be hard to knock out 10 reps on your 10rm weight after all that cardio :pfft:I have done 20 reppers in the past (only on squats - "widowmakers" is the term generally used), but not for a full body workout.

Melbot Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Sounds like blood volume training to me. Might be good for smaller muscle groups but hard on something like chest or shoulders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
