The goal with pre-fatiguing is to get your chest to fail before you start using your deltoids and your triceps. The reason you want you chest to fatigue is you want your chest to recruit more muscle motor units and this happens the closer you get to failure. And if you can bypass using your deltoids and your triceps and other stabilizers then you are working purely chest. Thus making the chest grow. Its just something new I have tried and liked.
It makes your stabilizing muscles fatigued and it forces your pectoralis major to do the majority of the work. Also I have really long arms, and sometimes my chest doesn’t feel like I get that great of a pump and this gives you a hell of a pump. I don’t do it every week in my chest routine. I throw it in about every 2 to 3 weeks just to keep my muscles guessing. Mainly I fatigue the chest at the end of my workout after going heavy. It’s just something I learned about and wanted to try out.
