All the HIT principles fit perfectly to VRT but this particular one is my favourite.For those who are not familiar,pre-exhaustion are supersets for the same muscle group.
For example if you do 6 max tension reps of wide grip pullups the middle delts(antagonist muscle) pre-exhaust the back.Now continue immediately with 6 reps of bent over rows.The antagonist muscle (front delt and chest) is now fresh and can give a very good finishing to the already fatigued back.
Another example is chest crossovers/chest flies.In the first exercise the braking force is provided by the middle delts and traps(chest pre-exhausted) while in the second by the rear delts and middle back(chest finished).
I'm sure everyone can find many combinations for every muscle group and i think that the VRT version of this method is much milder for the CNS.
