Im going to be adding the FST-7 technique into my training for the next month. Has anyone had good results with this.
 
Ran FST-7 program 3 times. Had great gains on each occassion. In my opinion, the stretching/flexing between sets is very important. The flex really ensures the blood doesn't drain from the muscle. Good luck with the protocol.
 
Bumping this. I'm thinking about starting FST-7 on Monday. Any feedback/recommendations for this program. Wasme, how long were your program runs typically? I've found a couple good templates to follow.
 
Usually 12 weeks. Felt pretty worn out at the end each time, let us know how it goes. Or if you throw a log up!

Definitely doing fst-7 tomorrow.

How much rest did you typically give yourself for the non 7 set exercises and did you take them all until failure?

The couple templates I found have calves twice a week with 3 exercises, seems brutal.
 
I went with 60 second rest periods. Took one exercise per body part to failure. Others, were 1 rep left in the tank.

yeah rests should be 45 seconds - did you watch Hanys videos on youtube?

No, just read a bunch of stuff on web sites. I know the rest period for the 7 set exercises are supposed to be 30-45 seconds. But I never saw any rest recommendations for the other exercises.
 
5 weeks done with fst-7 and that's going to be it for me. I really liked it, gained some good strength. However, I've developed some nasty what I think is tendinitis in my elbow 3 weeks ago. It came on after doing a ton of rows one day. I didn't want to take any time off because I was already a good way through a bottle of App Nut HG4UP. I thought I could manage the pain but it only got a little worse even on other days. And I have some knee pain too from hack squats. So lots of hamstrings, calves, and abs over the next couple weeks with maybe a little pec deck, reverse flys and machine pullovers.

I had a sample of High Volume that I took on an arm day - that was a fun workout :) I mostly used Conqu3r DGE - awesome PWO! Then USPlabs Modern PRE+ the last week since I was chosen for a promo - another good PWO. Leg days were a b!tch recovering from!

Looking back I probably should have eased in to fst-7. I went straight from a cut with lots of cardio and higher rep weight work with not much total volume to fst-7. When I heal up, I'll probably do a push/pull/leg split focusing on strength with lower volume for a while.
 
marius dohne has a tweeked version of this were you stretch in between the sets and it works a bit better for me tham just fst-7 but havent done it in a while
 
Sorry to hear about the tendinitis.. If you want a great pre/pump combo, we have a promo running for Stimul8 and Max Pump .... through in an app

I've tried stimul8 before and it definitely had me bugging out. Can't handle yohimbe otherwise I'd be all over that promo.
