Fascia Stretching Training

High-rep pump sets with light or moderate weights at the end of a workout have been used for decades. There many different training-protocols leading to the same result, namely pumping up the muscle with blood. You can decrease the weights with every set. You can pump to failure. Do “100’s “ etc etc.

Renaming it as “FST-7” is only a way to make it look like a new concept and thus more marketable. What’s not new either, and just like what happens to bodybuilding itself, hard core extremists also push this concept to new level by adding SEO’s, peptides, opiates, silica and of course roids. More about that later….

Arnold Schwarzenegger: “The greatest feeling you can get in a gym, or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is... The Pump. Let's say you train your biceps. Blood is rushing into your muscles and that's what we call The Pump. You muscles get a really tight feeling, like your skin is going to explode any minute, and it's really tight - it's like somebody blowing air into it, into your muscle. It just blows up, and it feels really different. It feels fantastic.”

“ It's as satisfying to me as, uh, coming is, you know? As, ah, having sex with a woman and coming. And so can you believe how much I am in heaven? I am like, uh, getting the feeling of coming in a gym, I'm getting the feeling of coming at home, I'm getting the feeling of coming backstage when I pump up, when I pose in front of 5,000 people, I get the same feeling, so I am coming day and night. I mean, it's terrific. Right? So you know, I am in heaven.”

FST-7, created by Hany Rambod

FST-7 stands for, Fascia Stretching Training, Rambod simply explains this as “A training method centered around stretching the fascia, a thin sheath of connective tissue that holds muscle and organs in place, but can actually hinder gains in muscle size.” The goal of FST-7 is to fill up the muscle with as much blood as possible which in turn Rambod believes will loosen the muscle to create more room for muscle growth.  The use of FST-7 protocol will come on the final exercise for the bodypart entailing an additional 7 sets to engorge the muscle with even more blood.

The number 7, the magic number, came to Rambod by experimenting with clients.  But he also mentions it will be “determined by the individual’s recuperative capabilities.” FST-7 is used to bring up lagging body parts.  It is advised to not use it for every bodypart during the week.  If you implement it for larger muscle groups (chest, back, shoulders, legs), then once a week will be suffice since it takes larger muscle groups longer to recover.  The smaller muscle groups (biceps, triceps, calves) can be trained twice a week with the FST-7 protocol.

For the last exercise, the 7s, isolation movement and machines are preferred over free-weight compound exercises.  Free-weight movements take more balance and technique and also have supporting muscles activated during the movement. The goal is to really train that targeted muscle.  Rambod mentions, “advanced trainers who have built sufficient strength and mastered proper technique and mind-to-muscle connection can benefit from using compound exercises for their 7s.”

A common misconception that needs to be pointed out is that some believe that the 7s are light pump sets.  WRONG! If your target is 10 reps, at numbers 9 and 10 you should be close to bringing yourself to tears.  Between each set of the 7s, the rest is very short (30-45 sec.) in order to supersaturate the muscle.  Rambod requires the trainer to alternate between flexing and stretching the muscle after each set for 30 seconds(flex after the first set, stretch after the second set).

Following text was actually posted on a major bodybuilding board. While it is possible and is done of course. I doubt if it wise to expose newbies to this kind of information without any kind of warning.

The Tricks to Muscle Fascia Stretching / Site Enhancement

Site enhancement oils have a very bad reputation in bodybuilding lately, mostly because of a few misguided competitors who stepped on stage with some truly distorted muscle bellies as a result of incorrect site enhancement.

Before I discuss a standard pro level site enhancement protocol, let’s be clear about the difference between SEO's and site enhancement as a result of inflammation. SEO's are oils used (primarily) in the offseason to stretch out the muscle fascia of a lagging body part with the hope of accelerated, permanent growth. Site enhancement from inflammation is common pre contest.

A few well-placed injections of esiclene, injectable dianabol/anadrol, winstrol/test suspension can make a lagging body part look great.

Now we all (or most of us) know that synthol is injected into the muscle in varying volumes of oil over an extended period of time leading to a stretch. This is basic. Now there are some tricks circulating in the pro ranks to really optimize the results of the "stretch."

Let’s assume we are dealing with the biceps.

- Inject standard volume of synthol mixed with whatever other pre workout oils (TNE, injectable dbol/drol, etc) into biceps heads pre workout.

- Inject IGF-1 DES in each biceps head pre workout.

- Administer a potent vasodilator for increased blood flow to the area - Viagra is the most popular - pre workout.

- Now, this will hurt A LOT and we need to go to very high reps - beyond the pain threshold of most humans so it is usually necessary to consume some type of opiate painkiller like nubain - pre workout.

- Workout should be very high reps of isolation exercises for that muscle....the goal is to fill it up with as much blood volume as possible.

The nubain/oxycontin/painkiller of your choosing should let you go to a rep range a level of pain you normally would not be able to tolerate. Follow this protocol in combination with pre workout insulin and post workout IV hgh.

An Other One

If you have an account on some bodybuilding forums that is commercially based, with sponsors the members now and then are getting messages like the following one!!

Do you want to gain 3" on your arms in 30 days?

THIS IS A SPONSOR MESSAGE

Dear member,

Do you want to gain up to 3" of new muscle on your arms in 30 days? How about making similar sized gains in your other muscle groups? Then I would like to tell you all about the Number 1 selling Site Enhancing Oil in the world, Syntherol from XXX.

Syntherol contains: Caprillic Acid, Capric Acid, Caproic Acid, Lauric Acid, Silica, and Benzyl Alcohol. It comes in a 100ml bottle.

If you are lacking in a muscle group, be it biceps, triceps, deltoids, calves, quadriceps, pectorals or any other muscle group you can think off, and no matter what else you have tried to break through the plateau to make those stubborn muscle groups grow, well then Syntherol can very well be the answer. Syntherol, is a Site Enhancing Oil (SEO), otherwise known as 'synthol'.

SEOs help a muscle to break past a plateau (sticking point) by helping the fascia of a muscle stretch. The fascia is the sheath of tissue that envelops a muscle. It is also the primary restrictive factor in amuscle growth. The more flexible the fascia is, the quicker the muscle will increase in size. Top professional bodybuilders, that have muscle groups that 'pop' when they flex, have very flexible muscular fascia’s.

When proper protocol is followed as described below, muscle groups such as the arms can gain up to 3" in 30 days. And if proper protocol is followed, then the size will become permanent.How does Syntherol work?

To begin with, Syntherol does not stay in the muscle for 3 to 5 years as wrongly assumed at first. Syntherol is dissipated gradually within a few months. However, during this time, Syntherol has stretched the fascia of the treated muscle. The more elastic the fascia of the muscle is, the more the muscle will grow and the more it will have the desired "popping" look.Syntherol stays in the muscle long enough for the fascia to stretch. As it dissipates, the "space" created by the Syntherol is replaced with new muscle tissue growth, if the user is in a proper anabolic environment. That is an environment conducive to muscle growth, i.e. resistance training, proper nutrition, recovery and supplementation.

New muscle tissue growth, in the space created by Syntherol, is the reason that x-rays performed on athletes with 25" and larger arms showed no remaining Syntherol to be present. The Syntherol dissipated and it was replaced by real muscle.

But not always…

Syntherol is the reason why current top level bodybuilding competitors have achieved muscle size that was previously unimaginable. Syntherol is even supported by Chris Clark himself, the inventor of SEOs, as mentioned in his latest book.

Syntherol is the ONLY SEO formulated by a MAJOR PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY; therefore you need not be concerned with issues such as sterility of the oil, which can arise with the home made "bathtub" formulations that abound on the internet, And Syntherol is backed by a DOUBLE YOUR MONEY BACK SATISFACTION GUARANTEE, something that no other SEO manufacturer is willing to offer.

How to use Syntherol:

Syntherol can be used for two purposes - to increase the size of a muscle or to shape a muscle.To increase size, using the biceps as an example; You need to apply Syntherol to EVERY head of the muscle, while rotating the applications daily within that muscle head. This is the only way to ensure that the added size followed the natural look and shape of that particular muscle.Bodybuilders use 1ml per muscle (that is 1ml per muscle head - i.e. inner head, outer head, etc). This 1ml is used every day, for a period of 2 weeks followed by a one week rest period in between. Then repeated.

Other bodybuilders use 1ml per muscle 3 times a week for the first week, followed by 2ml per muscle 3 times a week the second week and 3ml per muscle 3 times a week the third week. That is followed by one or two week break, after which the usage pattern is repeated.The quickest way to increase a muscle to its maximum size is by following the regimen below:1ml per muscle head every day for 10 days

2ml per muscle head every day for 10 days

3ml per muscle head every day for 10 days

If you apply Syntherol to both your biceps and your tricepssimultaneously, you can add up to 3" on your arms in those 30 days.

A few more pointers:

It is EXTREMELLY IMPORTANT that you deeply massage the muscle that you just applied the Syntherol to. You have to make sure that there is not a lump forming. The muscle should always be soft and should NEVER feel like there is a lump. It is also a good idea, to apply Syntherol just beforegoing to the gym. As soon as you get to the gym, perform a couple light weight, high reps sets using the treated muscle, to get the blood moving. This also will minimize lump formation. Remember, if a lumps forms because you did not massage the treated muscle, scar tissue will form as well. And you want to avoid scar tissue at all costs!If you find that you cannot completely massage away the lump, but you are due for another application, wait until your massaging makes the lump disappear completely (it should not be more than a couple of days) and then resume from where you left off.If you're on of the lucky few who has all the size you want and you just need to shape the muscle, such as adding a peak to your biceps, then apply Syntherol only to the peak of the muscle - 1ml every day or every second day until you obtain the peak that you desire.Where to apply Syntherol:

BICEPS - inner and outer head. You can feel the "split" in between the twoheads of the bicep when examined with your other hand. Apply the Syntherol to each side of that split. If you want to increase the length and thickness of the bicep, apply Syntherol more to the inner head (closer tothe body). If an increase of the peak is desired then apply Syntherol more to the outer head.

TRICEPS - You do not need to apply Syntherol to the outer tricep horseshoe head, unless it is really lacking in development behind the other tricep heads. Syntherol is generally only applied to the middle and rear heads of the triceps. Generally, at the back of the arm, the upper portion is therear head and the lower portion is the middle head - although the two heads overlap each other somewhat.

DELTOIDS - Apply Syntherol straight into whatever head is lacking in size.CALVES - Natural calves, regardless of how big they are, have a "flat" appearance to the muscle. As such, you want to maintain that look, so they don't end up looking like someone stuck an air hose in there. As such, Syntherol is applied in multiple applications, only to the outside edges of the muscle. That will make the calves stretch outwards, while keeping the flat, natural look.

QUADS - With muscles this large, one needs to do multiple daily applications. Where in the biceps 1ml per head per day is used to begin with, on the quads you need to start with 1ml per site, 7 sites per quad. This is important to avoid a "lumpy" look and keep the quad uniform. Again, to keep the natural look of the thigh, Syntherol should be applied to the "peak" of the outer quad, along the crest. If the teardrop is lacking, then Syntherol should be applied straight into it, rotating sites daily.

PECS - Again, these are very large, "flat" looking muscles. As such, the entire muscle has to be covered evenly with Syntherol, so 3 rows of 3 applications per day per pectoral should be used. The dosage would be 0.5ml per day per application site for 10 days, followed by 1ml per day per application site for 10 days and finished off with 1.5ml per day per application site for 10 days.

It is strongly recommend that Syntherol users review some basic anatomy charts and study the muscles and the nerves that are in the area where Syntherol is to be applied.PAIN - obviously, any fascial stretching will hurt. But, the pain will decrease the more Syntherol is applied, until it will not hurt any more at all. Initially, all SEOs hurt, but Syntherol has been reported to hurt the least due to its high level of refinement and very thin consistency.

And again, be sure the muscle is stretched and vigorously massaged throughout the day after every application with Syntherol.
