The last EEG study I saw showed the triceps ended up actually doing more work after pre-exhausting the pecs. Which makes sense to me as if a muscle is tired how can it actually do more work. If you could get more contractions out of it then it would mean that you weren't trying hard enough to start with.

Exactly. Shoulders probably do more work too.
 
Many people find benefit pre-exhausting their pecs by starting with flyes, crossovers, or pec deck before hitting compound movements, while others do not. Do you use pre-exhaustion and find benefit or not?

I love using Pre Exhaustion. I don't do it every workout but I do it quite often.
I like pre exhausting my pecs on the PEC DEC and then hitting the Hammer Strenght seated Chest Press. Amaizing Chest workout for me
 
YES.. the studies now find that since the pecs are prefatigued the body throw most of the activity to the triceps.. complete opposite of pre exhausts selling point.. that being said i do pre exhaust because im a old bastard who joints are finished.. so it allows less weight on my shoulders..

So if people pre-exhausted their triceps first would that not lower the weight load and require the pecs to do more of the work with a lighter weight perhaps?

I thought thats how it's was meant to be done. Same with back. Pre exhaust biceps so can focus on pulling with lats etc.
 
Every so often I will start with crosses, it is a nice break from the heavier compound movements.
I would not call it a pre-fatigue exercise as I take advantage of my chest being fresh and able to triple the weight used and add in additional sets.

Great point. I love to do this too. Chest is not just about pressing. Sometimes it's good to see how heavy you can go with flyes or dips when fresh. I get a much better pump from flyes or dips then I do from most presses too.
 
I recently started doing that since I tore my pec 6-7 mos ago. I do get a better pump while training that way however lifts have gone down a bit because of it.
