why does ++i not increment i before for loop?

So the following two functions print out the same exact results.

console.log("i++");
 for (i=1; i<=3; i++) {
  console.log(i); // 1, 2
}
console.log("++i");
for (i=1; i<=3; ++i) {
  console.log(i); // 1, 2
}

This very counter intuitive as I'm specifically asking to post-increment one and per-increment the other. It would be very desirable behavior to increment the value before the run inside the for loop. Is this behavior consistent?, Is this javascript specific or is this the standard behavior across programming languages that use ++i, i++ syntax and for loops?
