FST-7 Training Principle

It stands for Fascial Stretch Training and the seven refers to 7 sets performed usually as the final exercise of a target bodypart. Basically you train that bodypart on any given day heavy as you normally would keeping the rep range between 8-12, but the last exercise you perform the seven sets to finish off that particular muscle, with minimal rest in between to get the best pump possible. The example in the Pro Creator article in April 2008 issue is a workout for the biceps.

Alternate DB curls-3-4 Sets x 8-12 Reps
Machine preacher curls-3 Sets x 8-12 Reps
E-Z Bar curls-7 Sets x 8-12(30-45 seconds between sets while sipping water-more on this next month)*

Smaller muscles like Biceps, Triceps and Calves can and should be trained twice a week,while bigger muscles should be trained only once a week.Here is an example of a split:


1-Bi's,Tri's,and Calves
2-Legs
3-off
4-Chest and Tri's
5-Back and Calves
6-Shoulders and Bi's

7-off

* This is the FST-7 exercise. Keeping rest intervals between 30-45 seconds and making sure to stay hydrated to push that fluid into the muscle and stretch the fascia even further.

You should refrain from using compound lifts as your "seven set," because they require balance and the use of ancillary muscles which takes focus off the target muscle. Machines and cables are a good idea and free wights like barbell curls and skull crushers also work well for this "seven set". Perform your "seven set" at the end of the workout for that muscle group.**


The goal is to bring as much vitamins, minerals, amino acids, oxygen etc. into the muscle, and also stretch the fascia surrounding it to help encourage maximal muscle growth. The fascia is the limiting factor in acheiving muscle growth because the mucsle will grow only as much as there is room for it to do so. This training system is targeted to stretch the fascia and allow more room, instead of limiting muscle growth.

** Restricting the "seven sets" as your last exercise is recommended for new users of this training principle. This will allow you to lift heavy for first few exercises before taking the muscle to failure. There are many other variations for advanced users, including "front-loading the seven sets", that will be discussed in the forums and blogs to allow creativity in workouts and to shock and further stretch the fascia and enhance muscle growth.

University Research Supports Nitro-Tech® Hardcore Pro Series

In order to engineer Nitro-Tech® Hardcore Pro Series, Team MuscleTech™ teamed up with researchers from St. Francis Xavier University and the University of Saskatchewan to conduct some of the most innovative muscle building research in history. Nitro=Tech Hardcore Pro Series features Nitrogen Retention Technology, developed to drive superior nitrogen retention for faster and greater muscle gains than whey protein. The power of Nitrogen Retention Technology is illustrated by the incredible muscle gains experienced by subjects using the core formula in Nitro-Tech Hardcore Pro Series along with a hardcore training program. Just check out the study results! In a six-week, double-blind study involving 36 test subjects with at least three years of weight-training experience, subjects using the core formula in Nitro-Tech Hardcore Pro Series packed on an incredible 73 percent more lean muscle than subjects using whey protein (8.8 vs 5.1 lbs) Subjects using a placebo gained only 2 pounds of muscle. In the same study, subjects using the core formula in Nitro-Tech® Hardcore Pro Series jacked up their bench press by 143 percent more than subjects using whey protein (34 vs 14 lbs). The placebo group only added 15 pounds.

Mouth-Watering Flavors Make Nitro-Tech® Hardcore Pro Series a Must-Have
Researchers at Team MuscleTech™ collaborated with product development specialists and industry-leading flavoring experts to develop a protein formulation with a velvety smooth taste to rival that of the richest, purest dessert delicacies known to man. Using decadent cocoa, and after conducting countless internal blind-comparison sensory laboratory taste tests and vastly improving any prototype deemed somehow imperfect, Team MuscleTech™ researchers finally achieved a flavor perfection. You'll be absolutely blown away by the rich, indulgent, milkshake taste of Nitro-Tech® Hardcore Pro Series Chocolate Milkshake.
