Post Exhaustion Training
Pre-exhaustion involves exhausting the prime mover in a compound movement before performing the compound movement – like doing chest flyes immediately before a bench press. However, this can easily lead to failure on bench which might not be the safest option when training alone. The good news is that you can get a similar training effect from simply performing this method in reverse! Do the compound movement first, then immediately finish off the target muscle with an isolation exercise – like benching and then doing chest flyes. This offers the same training stimulus without risking failure on the compound movement.

Some people don't like it for various reasons but I have always liked pre-exhaust training in certain situations.
