Advantages
1) Pre-exhaustion is effective in maximally
fatiguing a given muscle group.
2) Can be effective in stimulating new growth in
stubborn muscle groups.
3) Useful for isolating muscle groups.
4) Stretches and warms joint muscles in
preparation for multiple joint exercise.
5) Often helpful in developing symmetry.

2) Fatigues muscles, preventing the use of
maximal weights for multiple joint exercise
3) Can be dangerous if pre-exhausted muscle
group fails during multiple joint exercise
