Pre exhaust

[Scott Stevenson]

Scott (and others) what's your thoughts and opinion on the old pre exhaust system and could it fit into say the pump section of a workout effectively??

Reason I ask is that I went to a gym today that had a load of original nautilus duo machines now some felt awful duo shoulder the press motion was awful but some like the duo chest and lat pull really hit the target muscle.

So thoughts.

I might be missing a bit of the nuance of what you're asking, but yes, For sure, you could use to use a pre-exhaustion exercise order with Pump sets.

Those duo machines are great. One of the gyms where I go (N. Powerhouse) has two of the Nautilus Delt machines.

Ironically - no lie here - I did this today with chest and back:

1st Superset:
Chest: Nautilus Incline Pec fly (5's into the hole)
Back: Nautilus pullover (5's into the hole)

2nd Super set:
Hoist Cable peck fly (not a compound exercise, but I need to stick with chest Isolation as I tend to be a delt presser) - Reverse 21's
Hoist Pulldown - Reverse 21's
