FST-7 (Fascia Stretch Training) FST stands for Fascia Stretch Training, and the seven refers to the seven sets performed for the final exercise of a target bodypart. There are three types of fascia in the human body, but the type you should be concerned about if you want to gain size is deep fascia. This is dense fibrous connective tissue that interpenetrates and surrounds the muscles, bones, nerves, and blood vessels of the body. The high density of fibers is what gives the deep fascia its strength and integrity. The amount of elastin fibers determines how much extensibility and resiliency it will have. In other words, some of us have fascia that is thicker and tougher than others. The most genetically blessed bodybuilders have thinner fascia, which is why their muscle bellies appear to be larger and fuller. FST-7 is based on stretching the muscle from the inside out by volumizing it. This is accomplished by getting the greatest pump possible while training. FST-7 is not just all about pumping. A bigger muscle is a stronger muscle, so you must train with heavier weights in the 8-12 rep range. The key is to build on the pump set by set, so that it reaches its maximum state by the final set. If the rest periods were too short, you wouldn’t have enough energy to do justice to the seven sets. Also the weight be constant as the seven sets go on, but it’s perfectly fine to reduce the weight one or two times as needed to stay in the proper 8 - 12 rep range. - jamiesonhealthandfitness.blogspot.au
