WEAK BODY PART? TRY THIS IN YOUR NEXT WORKOUT!

Okay Trenchers, who here has a weak body part? Something that's lacking compared to the rest? Most of us do and its perfectly fine, it could be genetics, neglecting or you're just not doing it correctly. Here's something I do to tackle this situation.

For the past 2 years I have incorporated FST-7 into my Chest Workout. What is FST-7?? Fascia Stretch Training is a technique that has been a while but officially labelled and made popular by Hany Rambod who trains some of the biggest IFBB pro bodybuilders such as Phil Heath, and 4x Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler. FST-7
The seven refers to 7 sets performed usually as the final exercise of a target body part but can also be in the beginning. 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 30 second rest between each set. Make sure you also drink water between each set.

How It Works?
It works by stretching the Fascia which is a layer of fibrous tissue that covers your muscles. By stretching the fascia you allow the muscle to pump more blood into the area. More blood means more nutrients going into your muscle fibres and allowing maximum potential to grow.

I usually do FST-7 in the beginning of my chest workout. I do this because it gives me a great pump, better contractions, and better mind muscle connection while doing the rest of my exercises. Therefore I would start with a cable fly and get that full stretch.

So try that in your next workout, It has worked very well for me.
