Execution sequence
- Check the assigned exercise, repetitions and load; do not confuse the seven sets with preparation sets.
- Perform each set with controlled technique and follow the stated rest.
- Record completed sets and any loss of repetitions. Do not extend beyond seven sets unless instructed.
Reading a program example
The source example is seven sets of ten machine leg extensions with twenty to thirty seconds of rest. These are the educational example’s numbers, not a prescription for everyone.
Important distinction
The FST-7 name does not establish permanent fascia stretching or superior growth. A pump is not a measurement of long-term hypertrophy. The volume and fatigue of seven sets must be considered within the whole session.
Check before starting
- Do not independently add this system to the end of every exercise.
- Do not push through pain or loss of technique to finish seven sets.
- Report recovery problems that affect subsequent sessions.
Frequently asked questions
Does FST-7 mean seven different exercises?
No. In the source definition it means seven sets of a specified exercise.
Does a bigger pump prove more growth?
No. Neither the pump sensation nor a system name alone establishes superior muscle growth.
